📖 Zechariah introduction

Read the chapter

1Then I lifted up my eyes and saw a man with a measuring line in his hand. ✦ 2“Where are you going?” I asked. “To measure Jerusalem,” he replied, “and to determine its width and length.” ✦ 3Then the angel who was speaking with me went out, and another angel came out to meet him ✦ 4and said to him, “Run and tell that young man: ‘Jerusalem will be a city without walls because of the multitude of men and livestock within it. ✦ 5For I will be a wall of fire around it, declares the LORD, and I will be the glory within it.’” ✦ 6“Get up! Get up! Flee from the land of the north,” declares the LORD, “for I have scattered you like the four winds of heaven,” declares the LORD. ✦ 7“Get up, O Zion! Escape, you who dwell with the Daughter of Babylon!” ✦ 8For this is what the LORD of Hosts says: “After His Glory has sent Me against the nations that have plundered you—for whoever touches you touches the apple of His eye— ✦ 9I will surely wave My hand over them, so that they will become plunder for their own servants. Then you will know that the LORD of Hosts has sent Me.” ✦ 10“Shout for joy and be glad, O Daughter of Zion, for I am coming to dwell among you,” declares the LORD. ✦ 11“On that day many nations will join themselves to the LORD, and they will become My people. I will dwell among you, and you will know that the LORD of Hosts has sent Me to you. ✦ 12And the LORD will take possession of Judah as His portion in the Holy Land, and He will once again choose Jerusalem. ✦ 13Be silent before the LORD, all people, for He has roused Himself from His holy dwelling.” ✦

Christ at the center

The Branch who is both priest and king, the shepherd struck and the flock scattered, the king coming humble on a donkey, the one they pierced, the fountain opened for sin — Zechariah is dense with Christ.
