The Message of Zechariah: Your Kingdom Come (Bible Speaks Today)

The study of the book of Zechariah is bound to be enriching, for it is imbued from beginning to end with the same heart-cry that Jesus turned into a prayer for all of us: "Your kingdom come." Here Barry G. Webb explores the kingdom of God as the prophet Zechariah apprehended it. In oracles and visions Zechariah challenged his hearers

• to return to the coming kingdom
• to cleanse themselves in anticipation of the cleansing fountain of God's grace
• to restore the city of Jerusalem in preparation for its coming glorification

The promises of God in the book of Zechariah are meant to fuel the faithfulness of God s people and prepare the way for the promised Messiah.
