 Zechariah 1 - Return to Lord and He will return to You
Zechariah and Haggai, a contemporary, are prophets called by God to preach to the people to restart the building of the temple.
In verse 4 Zechariah tells the people to not be like their fathers when the call for repentance came.
Therefore, Zechariah makes a call to the people in verse 3 to return to God.

 Messiah Revealed: Fulfilled Messianic Prophecies from Zechariah 12-14
Zechariah chapter 11 pointed to the first coming and rejection of the Messiah, and Zechariah chapters 12-14 look to the second coming as Jesus is received in glory and Israel is re-born.
The scattering or dispersion spoken of in Zechariah 13:7 is directly associated with the rejection of the Good Shepherd in Zechariah chapter 11, and specifically with the judgement of the breaking of the brotherhood between Judah and Israel in Zechariah 11:14.
Jesus quotes Zechariah 13:7 to the disciples in Matthew 26:31 shortly before they fled after He was apprehended by the Roman soldiers.

 eschatology.org: Zechariah and the Resurrection, pt. 7
This being true, since Zechariah 14:9 and 1 Corinthians 15:28 are clearly parallel, it cannot be denied that the resurrection of 1 Corinthians 15 was to occur at the end of the Old Covenant Age in A.D. The fact that Corinthians places resurrection life at the passing of the Old Law fully substantiates this posit.
Zechariah and Ezekiel both predicted the time when God's sovereignty would be fully established and the Lord would rule in Zion, Ezekiel 37:22-24/ Zechariah 14:9-11.
In Zechariah 6:12-13 the prophet said the "Branch" would build the Temple of the Lord and sit on his throne as king and priest.

 Chapter 24: Life and Literature of the Early Period
Zechariah and Haggai are really not concerned with eschatological (end of time) ideas, but rather with the new tomorrow that was so close that it was to follow the completion of the temple, a new day that was imminent in Zerubbabel, the "servant of Yahweh" (Hag.
Zechariah prophesied in the same period as the prophet Haggai, and the first eight chapters of Zechariah's work reveal the pressure of problems and issues similar to those found in Haggai's oracles.
Like Haggai, Zechariah is mentioned in Ezra 5:1 and 6:14 where he is called a prophet, but in Nehemiah 12:16 he is listed among the priests.

 Zechariah
Zechariah was also one of the ones who returned under Zerubbabel, and he was already a priest at the time of the return (Neh.
Zechariah "is the most Messianic, the most truly apocalyptic and eschatological, of all the writings of the OT" (Robinson).
With his contemporary Haggai he was called to give that kind of spiritual leadership which would regenerate the theocracy, recall it to its true vocation, and guide it toward its destiny as the living witness of God in the world" (Zondervan's Pictorial Encyclopedia of the Bible).

 Chapter Twenty-Five God Encourages: Zechariah, Malachi
Zechariah introduces himself as the son of Berechiah, who was in turn the son of Iddo, the prophet.
These names are significant, for Zechariah means "God remembers," Berechiah means "God blesses" and Iddo means "at the appointed time." Thus even in the prophets' names God has hidden the theme of the book of Zechariah, for His message was a reminder that God remembered His people and would bless them at the appointed time.
The remainder of Zechariah 9 is a prediction of victory for the sons of Judah over the sons of Greece, and many Bible scholars feel it speaks of the Maccabean uprising and victory of the Jews over Antiochus Epiphanes.

 eschatology.org: Zechariah and the Apocalypse, pt. 2
Not one time was Zechariah told that his vision was "about to begin to be fulfilled" or was "at hand" or must "shortly come to pass." He was not told "there shall be no more delay"; he was not told that the coming of the Lord against Jerusalem was to be in his generation.
Zechariah did not say his predictions were imminent; John was told they were to be fulfilled shortly.
If Zechariah 14 is predictive of the A.D. 70 parousia of Jesus and the attendant blessings, then if Zechariah is parallel to the Apocalypse, Revelation must speak of the same things.

 Zechariah's Eight Visions for Israel by Clarence Wagner
Zechariah opens his book with an exhortation for Israel to repent quickly so that they could be in the position to receive God's blessing.
Zechariah asked the meaning of the lampstand with seven lights, and was told, "These seven are the eyes of the Lord, which range throughout the earth" (v.
In Zechariah 1:3, God pleads to Israel, "This is what the Lord Almighty says: 'Return to Me,' declares the Lord Almighty, 'and I will return to you.'" Zechariah's message is very messianic and future-looking, and reveals much about the end times in which we are living.

 Book of Zechariah, quick survey, the Messiah riding a donkey
Zechariah’s message focuses on the future and proclaims that God would send the Messiah to establish His Kingdom through the destruction of the Gentile empires and the salvation of His people Israel.
Zechariah gives these two oracles which look forward to the Messiah who is initially rejected but ultimately enthroned as King of the Messianic kingdom.
1- Zechariah was written to comfort and encourage the returned remnant to repent of their evil ways, to return to the Lord and to rebuild the temple.

 Love The Lord Zechariah Lesson 10
Zechariah 10:2 "For the idols have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie, and have told false dreams; they comfort in vain: therefore they went their way as a flock, they were troubled, because [there was] no shepherd." The only thing that brings results is prayer to God.
Zechariah 10:10 "I will bring them again also out of the land of Egypt, and gather them out of Assyria; and I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon; and [place] shall not be found for them." All of the lands mentioned, here, are thought of as the unsaved world.
Zechariah 10:12 "And I will strengthen them in the LORD; and they shall walk up and down in his name, saith the LORD." God did do wonders to save His people.

 Bible Survey: The Book of Zechariah
He is referred to as "the son of Berechia, the son of Iddo" in Zechariah 1:1 and 7 and simply as "the son of Iddo" in Ezra 5:1 and 6:14.
The name Zechariah is a very common name in the Old Testament, especially among the priests and Levites of the post-exilic period.
A son of the high priest Jehoiada who was slain in the court of the House of the Lord by order of King Joash (837-800 BC).

 B. Zechariah
Zechariah was concerned about the religious purity of the people and the morale of Jerusalem's leaders.
The first unit, chapters 1-8, is usually attributed to the prophet Zechariah of the sixth century.
Zechariah also shows his dependence on earlier prophecy by the way he adopts and adapts earlier prophetic images.

 MyJewishLearning.com - Texts: Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi: Back in the Land
Zechariah (his name means "the Eternal has remembered") was active between 520 and 518, and the sacred task was at last taken up again and finished in 516-515.
We know nothing about the personal life of the Prophet (Zechariah), except that he was the son of Berachiah and the grandson of Iddo.
The Temple is not mentioned (probably because it was already completed); and where the First Zechariah extols the governor, the Second Zechariah heavily criticizes him.

 A Piercing Look at A False Claim [Zechariah 12:10]
Zechariah's intent in using these generic phrases here, albeit inclusive of the definite article, was to describe the intensity of the mourning in Jerusalem and throughout the land, that it would be like the grief over a deceased only son or firstborn.
Zechariah 12:10B(KJV) - and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
Chapter in the Book of Zechariah, Zechariah 12:10, prophesies the crucifixion of Jesus.

 THERE SHALL BE A FOUNTAIN OPENED - (Zechariah) - John Piper
They were the audience; and when they heard Zechariah refer to "the house of Judah and the house of Israel" they would naturally understand the Jewish people not the church of Christian gentiles.
For example, right after that great promise in 2:10 he says, "And many nations shall join themselves to the Lord in that day and shall be my people; and I will dwell in the midst of you and you shall know the Lord of hosts has sent me to you" (see also 9:7; 8:13,20-23; 14:16).
And as you have been a byword of cursing among the nations, O house of Judah and house of Israel, so will I save you and you shall be a blessing.

 The Apocalypse of the Old Testament Zechariah - Chuck Missler - Koinonia House
Zechariah was a contemporary of Haggai the prophet, Zerubbabel the governor, and Joshua the high priest.
In the Hebrew Scriptures, they are "The Twelve" and form a part of the nebhi'im 'aharonim, the latter prophets.
Many feel that Zechariah is the most Messianic book of the Old Testament.

 ZECHARIAH, NRSV HEBREW BIBLE
The book of Zechariah is the longest and most obscure of the Minor Prophets.
1 In the fourth year of King Darius, the word of the LORD came to Zechariah on the fourth day of the ninth month, which is Chislev.
But Zechariah differs from Haggai in the form and presentation of his message.

Above: A 16th century illuminating manuscript portraying Zechariah's vision of the High Priest and Satan.
The rationale for this division, however, is rather feeble, resting on the absence of specific historical allusions in the second part and the lack of mentions of the prophet's name in chapters 9 through 14.
In the first eight chapters we encounter a series of "Night Visions" in which a variety of spiritual truths are revealed to the prophet through some quite bizarre imagery, including a giant flying scroll.

 Zechariah & the Protoevangelion (Matthew 23:34-35 ) - TheologyWeb Campus
Interestingly we see that this particular Zechariah is the son of Jehoiada and not Barachia as mentioned in Matthew.
There is no mention of the death of Prophet Zechariah, although he was around during the re-building of the temple - so at least there was a temple to be killed in.
One of the factors that kind of makes me lean toward understanding the Zechariah of Matthew 23 as the father of John the Baptist is Jesus' use of 'from.

 Zechariah the Prophet
Chaggai, Zechariah, and Malachi received the traditions of the Torah from the prophets [before them] (Avot d'Rabbi Natan I).
The Aramaic translation of the prophets was written by Yonatan ben Uziel, who had heard it [via his teachers (Maharsha, Tractate Megillah 3a)] from Chaggai, Zechariah, and Malachi (ibid.).
With the deaths of the last prophets - Chaggai, Zechariah, and Malachi - Divine Inspiration departed from Israel (Tractate Yoma 9b).

These were the prophets who lived at the very end of the age of prophecy (after their deaths, there have been no prophets.
Notable in the prophecy of Zephaniah is the description of the length and depth of the coming exile, and of the redemption that will follow bringing universal faith in the one true G-d.
The careers of the final three prophets of the book (Chagai, Zechariah and Malachi) reach into the period of the second Temple.

 Bible Basics - Zechariah
Zechariah however is important for the reason that it is a source of understanding for the symbolism in Revelation.
Chapter 1 of the book discusses Zechariah's family and identifies him as a member of the priestly family (Neh 12:4, 16).
Like other prophetic writings, some things will be only understood when the words are fulfilled.

 Zechariah 12:10 - Another Case of Rabbinical Revisionism?
Zechariah 12:10 is no longer regarded as a passage referring to the Messiah at all.
The rabbis used to believe in a Messiah who would suffer and die, according to the prophets of Israel.
In fact, two prominent translations of the Hebrew Bible by Jewish publishers, this ancient Messianic prophecy is translated in such a way as to remove all Messianic implications.

[26-38] The announcement to Mary of the birth of Jesus is parallel to the announcement to Zechariah of the birth of John.

 Zechariah and Preterism
      The only way that preterists can attempt to deal with Zechariah 12—14 is not by taking the words and phrases of the passage in its literary context, but by simply declaring—as done by Chilton and Gentry—that the church replaces Israel.
  I first asked him if he believed, as a preterist, that Zechariah 12—14 was a parallel passage to the Olivet Discourse (Matthew 24—25; Mark 13; Luke 21:5-36).
      In no other chapter of the Bible is the interpretation of the name "Israel" more important than in Zechariah 14.

 Clarke's Commentary - Zechariah 9
Ashkelon shall see it, and fear] All these prophecies seem to have been fulfilled before the days of Zechariah; another evidence that these last chapters were not written by him.
These prophecies are more suitable to the days of Jeremiah than to those of Zechariah; for there is no evidence-although Alexander did take Damascus, but without bloodshed-that it was destroyed from the times of Zechariah to the advent of our Lord.
And Hamath also shall border thereby] Hamath on the river Orontes; and Tyre and Sidon, notwithstanding their political wisdom, address, and cunning, shall have a part in the punishment.
