[General Preface] The Bible Speaks Today describes three series of expositions, based on the books of the Old and New Testaments, and on Bible themes that run through the whole of Scripture. [Preface] He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God. [Introduction] When Jesus taught his disciples to pray that God's kingdom would come, he taught them more than how to pray: he opened his heart to them and challenged them to be inspired by the same vision he had, and for which he would go to the cross. Zechariah's ministry begins when he is commanded by the LORD to remind the people of Jerusalem of their recent history. | |

[Introduction] All this is highly relevant to the following exposition, which seeks to do justice to the structure, and unity of Zechariah's message in its final, literary form, without ignoring the historical context in which that message originated.
