“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Enter, you who are blessed by my Father! Take what’s coming to you in this kingdom. It’s been ready for you since the world’s foundation. And here’s why: I was hungry and you fed me, I was thirsty and you gave me a drink, I was homeless and you gave me a room. I was shivering and you gave me clothes...” Matthew 25:34-36a

Focal book of Study is – Zechariah

Background – Zechariah was one of the prophets along with Haggai that appeared on the scene after captivity. He came after Haggai. He was both prophet and priest. He was the son of Berechiah. He came from a lineage of prophets.

Central Truth/Theme

“I am jealous for Jerusalem” – Zecahriah 1:14; 8:1.

Prophecies – There are more prophecies of Christ in the book of Zechariah than in any other prophetic Book expect Isaiah.

What is the meaning of prophecy?

Prophecy – Is a message of divine truth revealing God's will, the foretelling of what is to come. Something that is declared by a prophet, especially a divinely inspired prediction, instruction, or exhortation. A divinely inspired utterance or revelation.
