INTRO: We have come to the second to last book in the section of Scripture known as the minor prophets. It is the book of Zechariah. The name 'Zechariah' means, 'Jehovah Remembers.' One writer says that the significance of the meaning of his name is that which the book is all about, 'Jehovah remembers His people.' Zechariah was both a prophet and a priest. A prophet could come our of any tribe, but not so a priest. A priest had to be of the tribe of Levi. Verse 1 gives us some information on this (read).
Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi were prophets that ministered to those Jewish people who came back to Israel after the Babylonian exile. As you will remember a number of the other prophets wrote specifically to the northern and southern kingdoms to depart from sin or they would be punished. They failed, and the northern kingdom suffered exile in 722 BC and the southern kingdom in 586 BC. Zechariah and Haggai both ministered around 518-520 BC. That is just before the end of the 70 year captivity.
