Well, Zechariah was a prophet.

He was a Levite born in Babylon.

He was much younger than his contemporary Haggai, but they both were

part of those that were came back into Israel.

They were part of the 50 ,000 that Jewish exiles that returned and the goal that they

had was to try to get the temple Rebuilt.

They wanted to get Israel back in where they would be able to have the worship of God.

However, well Israel got a little bit laxadaisical they became

indifferent about rebuilding the temple and Really through

Haggai's preaching they were looking to rebuild the temple.

Zechariah as well who was much younger and Followed after.

Now when you look at this book Zechariah gives a series of eight prophetic dreams

in a single night and these are very Very much like the book of

Revelation very futuristic meant much about the end times, but it is

Eschatological meaning in times with Encouragement.

Here you have people that are laxadaisical.

continue the rebuilding of the temple because there is a future hope for Israel.

God was not going to be done with the nation of.
