📖 Zechariah introduction

Read the chapter

1I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand. ✦ 2Then I asked, “Where are you going?” He said to me, “To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its width and what is its length.” ✦ 3Behold, the angel who talked with me went out, and another angel went out to meet him, ✦ 4and said to him, “Run, speak to this young man, saying, ‘Jerusalem will be inhabited as villages without walls, because of the multitude of men and livestock in it. ✦ 5For I,’ says Yahweh, ‘will be to her a wall of fire around it, and I will be the glory in the middle of her. ✦ 6Come! Come! Flee from the land of the north,’ says Yahweh; ‘for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the sky,’ says Yahweh. ✦ 7‘Come, Zion! Escape, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.’ ✦ 8For Yahweh of Armies says: ‘For honor he has sent me to the nations which plundered you; for he who touches you touches the apple of his eye. ✦ 9For, behold, I will shake my hand over them, and they will be a plunder to those who served them; and you will know that Yahweh of Armies has sent me. ✦ 10Sing and rejoice, daughter of Zion; for, behold, I come, and I will dwell within you,’ says Yahweh. ✦ 11Many nations shall join themselves to Yahweh in that day, and shall be my people; and I will dwell among you, and you shall know that Yahweh of Armies has sent me to you. ✦ 12Yahweh will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and will again choose Jerusalem. ✦ 13Be silent, all flesh, before Yahweh; for he has roused himself from his holy habitation!” ✦

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.
