• “Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah the son of Iddo,* prophesied unto the Jews that were in Judah and Jerusalem in the name of the God of Israel” (Ezra 5:1). Zechariah, however, did not commence his ministry (as far as has been recorded) until two months after the first prophecy of Haggai, though the first prophecy of Zechariah was at least a month before the last two of Haggai. (“Zechariah: Introducton” by E. Dennett)
• The book divides itself into two parts: chapters 1-6, which contain, after the first six verses, a series of prophetic visions vouchsafed to Zechariah; and chapters 7-14, which comprise the messages he received for the instruction and encouragement of the people. (“Zechariah: Introducton” by E. Dennett)
• Zechariah includes in his prophetic vision the Gentile kingdoms to whom the Jews were in subjection, the establishment of the Messiah as a Priest on His throne, who should build the temple of the Lord, and “bear the glory” (Zech. 6:13). He also deals with the rejection of the Messiah and its consequence, together with the final siege of Jerusalem by the nations, and its deliverance by the sudden appearance of the Lord Himself. Thereon the remnant, as he points out, are humbled to contrition as they look on Him whom they had pierced; and their enemies are destroyed. Moreover, the prophet exhibits Jehovah as king over all the earth, and all nations ascending yearly to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles. Finally, he depicts holiness to the Lord as marking every detail of the daily life of the people in Jerusalem and Judah. (“Zechariah: Introducton” by E. Dennett)
• Iddo was his grandfather, and inasmuch as Zechariah succeeded Iddo in the priestly office, Berechiah must have died during the youth of his son. Zechariah thus united in himself the offices of prophet and priest. (“Zechariah: Introducton” by E. Dennett)
• We may remark that in Zechariah (Babylon being already judged) we have neither man invested with the government, nor the moral character of the empires presented under the form of an image or that of beasts; but the government of God, hidden, providential, but real, in connection with these empires. (“Zechariah 6” by J.N. Darby)
