Zechariah 47

Summary review of Zec chs 1-14. Greatly discouraged following their return to a Judah laid waste, the post-exilic Jews were ministered to by Zechariah who encouraged and comforted them with 8 prophetic visions. Although the nation was rebuked for her disobedience and urged to repent, the Lord promised future restoration and rejoicing in the Millennium when He will reign as King and Priest. Because of their rejection of Him at His first coming, however, the nation would first undergo judgment. In the day of the Lord He will deliver the remnant, destroy Jerusalem's enemies, and purge the world to worship Him.
