Zechariah: The Visionary Prophet

''Our Heavenly Father we are so thankful we could study your word tonight. We pray oh,God that you will make it real to our hearts and our lives. We thank it as we read the word there is a message that is pertinent and applicable to our lives. I pray oh, God that you will lead us from the word. And may this word of God be precious to us.

If you will keep in mind that Zechariah talks about Jerusalem and Jesus, you will understand a great deal of what you read there. All through the book his themes are Jerusalem and Jesus. And he talks ab ...
