About this Item

Paperback. The purpose of this book is threefold. The first reason I wrote this book is to demonstrate that the book of Zechariah is not DIMINUTIVE or minor. Though the relatively brief length of the book justifies its inclusion in the twelve books known as "The Minor Prophets," it is not minor in importance. It is one of the most important books in the Old Testament in terms of its Christology and its eschatology. We learn much in Zechariah about the first and second comings of Christ and the establishment of His earthly millennial kingdom. We also learn much regarding the future of God's covenant nation, Israel. The second reason I wrote this book is to demonstrate that Zechariah is not DIFFICULT. Some Bible interpreters make the book difficult because they utilize an unnatural approach to interpreting it. They say that Zechariah should be interpreted metaphorically, allegorically, or "spiritually." They try to interject and impose the "church" into the text, although the church is nowhere to be seen in Zechariah. The third reason I wrote this book is to dispel the notion that Zechariah is a DISCOURAGING book. In like fashion, sometimes we as Christians are prone to become discouraged as we see Satan's "new world order" moving forward in ways that seem unstoppable. This is merely a temporary illusion. In reality, it is not Satan's "new world order" that is unstoppable; it is Christ's "New World Order" that is unstoppable. The book of Zechariah reminds us that, for Christians, we are not only on the right side of history, but we are also on the WINNING side of history!
