Meaning of ZECHARIAH (Prophet)

"Jehovah has remembered." Son of Berechiah and grandson of Iddo (Zech. 1:1). The first prophecy of Zechariah that has been transmitted was given in the second year of Darius Hystaspes, 520 BC. (Zech. 1:1; Ezra 4:24; 5:1).



"Jehovah has remembered." Son of Berechiah and grandson of Iddo (Zech. 1:1). The first prophecy of Zechariah that has been transmitted was given in the second year of Darius Hystaspes, 520 BC. (Zech. 1:1; Ezra 4:24; 5:1).

This prophet was a contemporary of the governor Zerubbabel, the high priest Joshua, and the prophet Haggai (Zech. 3:1; 4:6; 6:11; Ezra 5:1, 2).

Together with Haggai, he exhorted the leading Jews returned from exile to resume construction of the Temple.

It seems evident that he was born in Babylon, since the first deportees had been in the land of Judah only 18 years, and Zechariah did not begin to prophesy at this age.

He undoubtedly belonged to the tribe of Levi, being both prophet and priest, the same as Jeremiah and Ezekiel.

Indeed, according to Neh. 12:1, 4, 7, Iddo, head of a priestly family, returned from Babylon with Zerubbabel. Zechariah is called “son of Iddo” in Ezra. 5: 1 and 6:14, surely for having assumed the priestly office of his grandfather due to the death of his father.



Blessed be His name! He never gives up the search until the chosen are sought out successfully. They are not people sought today and cast away tomorrow.

Treasures in the Mud: The Grace of Being Searched

Charles H. Spurgeon
The surpassing grace of God is seen very clearly in that we were not only sought, but we were also sought out. People seek for something that is lost upon the floor of the house, but in such a case there is only seeking, not seeking out. The loss is more perplexing and the search more persevering when something is sought out.
What can you do to inspire others to defend the truth with both courage and love?

Fighting for the Truth and Love

John MacArthur
In a world where truth is under attack, few rise to defend it. But let's remember that our apathy won't be an excuse before Christ. In Revelation, we see how He rebuked the churches that tolerated falsehood. Let's do the same, bravely defend the truth.
If you find your conscience vanishing, you must realize the seriousness of your condition and repent; beseech God for a clear, functioning conscience

Holy Hatred of Sin

John MacArthur
We desperately need to recover a holy hatred of sin. We need to do this corporately as a church, but we also need to do it individually as believers. Sin is surely not a pleasant subject to study or preach on, but it is necessary.
Our task is to do what the psalmist David did: He didn’t worry about “great matters” or things “too profound” for him.

Calm And Quiet

David Jeremiah
According to medical researchers at Duke University, there is a “vicious cycle” involving insomnia, anxiety, and depression. It’s sort of a “which came first: the chicken or the egg?” scenario.
When we learn His purposes and make them our prayers, we are giving Him the opportunity to act.

The Rope of Prayer

David Jeremiah
Daniel was a man who communicated with heaven. He prayed fervently, consistently, and for the will of God. He knew nothing of praying only before meals, at bedtime, and when he really needed God’s help.
