Commentary home

Next book, Malachi

This amazing book covers the three comings of Christ: (1) to the Jewish people, (2) for redemption of the righteous, and (3) at the end of the thousand years. Turning to the Lord so He can turn to us is a theme of the book. It is "... one of the most Messianic, eschatological, and apocalyptic  books of the OT" paralleling the scope of Daniel and Revelation. (Quotation from Philip G. Samaan, Portraits of the Messiah in Zechariah. Review & Herald, 1998.)
