ZACARIAS: THE STORY OF THE PROPHET WHO SAW THE RAPTURE FYTube

The prophet Zechariah was the son of Berechiah and the grandson of Iddo. The name of his grandfather was mentioned because there was a high probability that he was raised by his grandfather, as his father died early before raising him, likely perishing in captivity. His name means “the Lord remembers,” and his father’s name means “the Lord blesses.” The significance of his grandfather’s name, in due time, contributes to the hope of the first and second coming of the Messiah, our Lord Jesus Christ.

Prophet Zechariah not only brought a message of hope to the people of his time but to all of humanity through the ages and even today. So, in today’s video, we will talk about the story of the prophet Zechariah in Lucas Dário. Welcome to “Witnessing Jesus Christ.” And sin overflowed grace. And there. And there. And there.

Without further ado, let’s get into the video. The dates mentioned in the book confirm that he was a contemporary of the prophet Haggai. Haggai had been preaching for two months, and the construction of the temple had already begun when Zechariah started his work. Haggai’s recorded ministry lasted about four months. Zechariah’s prophecies cover about two years. While the prophecies in Chapters 9 to 14 are undated, the main theme of Zechariah aligns with Haggai. Zechariah was called and sent by God to motivate the inhabitants of Jerusalem to complete the construction of the Temple. They played a crucial role in awakening the elders and the people about Governor Zerubbabel and High Priest Joshua, urging them to finish the construction program. These were challenging times for the small Jewish community, facing continuous opposition from local Samaritans. The construction of the temple site resumed in 520 BC and was completed about four years later, with the encouragement and help of God. Their determination and hard work finally paid off. The coming of the Messiah and Zechariah’s prophecies include various references to the first and second coming of Jesus Christ. It speaks of Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem on a donkey. He was betrayed for thirty pieces of silver and was pierced. Zechariah also describes the day of the Lord when Christ’s feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, initiating his reign as the king of the Kingdom of God on Earth. Despite Judah being severely punished for its sins, God will not forget or abandon it. Eventually, the people of Judah will be remembered by God again, and Jerusalem will be a great, prosperous, and peaceful city. This will be a time when all families of the earth will go there to worship Christ as the king, the Lord of hosts. Zechariah’s message is truly filled with hope.
