The Fasting, Promise, and Exhortation

From: Things Which Must Shortly Come to Pass By: Algernon James Pollock

Zechariah 7‑8 • 1 min. read • grade level: 13

Zechariah 7-8

Zechariah 6 closes Zechariah's visions, and Zechariah 7 begins with a new date—the fourth year of King Darius.

Zechariah 7 and 8 tell how the fasting during the seventy years of captivity in Babylon was only outward and hypocritical, and the continued refusal of the people to answer to God's call would lead to their dispersal among the nations, which actually took place A.D. 70.

But immediately Zechariah prophesies of the blessing of Zion and Jerusalem, finishing up with an exhortation which, if it had been responded to, would have made the Jew under Christ the blessing of the world. That day is yet to come.
