Zechariah 1:1-6 - The Lord Remembers His Anointed King

Brother Gideon Levytam begins a new study in the book of the prophet Zechariah (זְכַרְיָה), whose name means 'The LORD Remembers.' This prophetic book was given to the remnant of Israel who had returned to the land from the Babylonian exile. Gideon lays the historical foundation, explaining that the people were discouraged and their spiritual fervor was declining. The Lord’s message through Zechariah was a powerful call to return to Him, reminding them not to be like their fathers who had ignored the former prophets. This introduction explains how the entire history of Israel, as recorded in the Tanakh, serves as a lesson for believers today, as the Apostle Paul wrote. Gideon provides a sweeping overview of Zechariah's prophecies, which look far beyond his own time to both the first and second comings of Yeshua the Messiah. From the King arriving humbly on a donkey (Zech. 9:9) to the establishment of His future Messianic Kingdom, the book is a testimony to God’s unwavering faithfulness to His covenant promises. Holy Scriptures and Israel exists to share God’s Word with the Jewish people from a Hebrew-Messianic perspective.
