ellapenella Posted September 19, 2017 #1 Share Posted September 19, 2017 He has been called the prophet of hope. His message is filled with the encouragement that God will keep His promises to His people, especially His promises regarding the Messiah. Zechariah has more Messianic prophecy than all of the other Minor Prophets combined and he is second only to Isaiah in the number of references to Christ. The New Testament cites or alludes to Zechariah at least 41 times (Bible Knowledge Commentary [Victor Books], 1:1545). His message is that even though God’s chosen people had been scattered among the nations because of their disobedience, God still loved them and His purpose for them would still be accomplished. http://www.messiahrevealed.org/zechariah.html 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellapenella Posted September 20, 2017 Author #2 Share Posted September 20, 2017 (edited) Luke 1 And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense. 12 And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him. 13 But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+1&version=KJV So John the Baptist is the son of Zacharias. I forgot about that. Edited September 20, 2017 by Ellapennella Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
