Zechariah’s book of prophecy brings greatest focus upon the 1st and 2nd comings our Lord Jesus Christ.  The thrust of his ministry was to move the people to set the Lord and His things first.  Such a needed message for our own day and hearts!  Through this book of prophecy the Lord would set the hope of His people upon their coming Messiah in spite of current conditions, instilling in them a will to make practical preparations now in the light of that “blessed hope”.  Thank you Lord that you would so graciously give your people such assurances of the future.

This Reading Companion was developed in a Bible college context, yet it presents practical truths that have proven useful over the years to scores of people.  The material has been left in the original class by class portions to make it easier to use further in a classroom setting.  Related verses of the Bible head the pages on which they are explained and applied, that God’s words might always remain in our focus.

May the Lord of glory guide your heart as you explore the wonders of His Word. Priceless are the treasures to be found there. May He build your faith as you see His plan for the ages unfolding, just as He has long before spoken. “Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of My mouth” (Proverbs 4:5)
