Survey The River
Build the lens first: who wrote the book, when it was written, who heard it first, and why it exists.
Question 1
What sin is being indicted, and against which covenant?
Question 2
What judgment and what promise are tied together here?
Question 3
How does the messianic horizon reach into this oracle?
The Book of Zechariah (; Biblical Hebrew: זְכַרְיָה, romanized: Zəḵaryāh); also Zachariah or, in the Septuagint and Vulgate, Zacharias (; Koine Greek: Ζαχαρίας, romanized: Zakharías; Late Latin: Zacharias), is a Jewish text attributed to Zechariah, a Hebrew prophet of the late 6th century BC.
