Zechariah 1-14   This book is full of prophecies about Jesus.  Here are a few:

2:10 "Sing for joy and be glad, O daughter in Zion; for behold I am coming and I will dwell in your midst.." 

3:8-9  ".. for behold, I am going to bring in My servant, the Branch... and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day..."

6:12 " .. Behold, a man whose name is Branch, for He will branch out from where He is; and He will build a temple of the Lord. Yes, it is He who will build the temple of the Lord, and He who will bear the honor and sit and rule on His throne. Thus He will be a priest on His throne, and the counsel of peace will be between the two offices. " 

9:9 " Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Jerusalem.. behold your King is coming to you; He is just and endowed with salvation, humble and mounted on a donkey, even on a colt, the foal of a donkey.."

9:10 ".. And He will speak peace to the nations; and His dominion will be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth." 

12:10 " And I will pour out on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace and of supplication so that they will look on Me whom they have pierced; and they will mourn for Him, as one mourns for an only son, and they will weep bitterly over Him, like the bitter weeping over a first-born." 

14:4  "And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which is in front of Jerusalem on the east; and the Mount of Olives will be split in its middle from east to west.. "

14:9 "And the Lord will be king over all the earth; in that day the Lord will be the only One, and His name the only one. " 

Zechariah reminds us of  the call that our Shepherd delivers that we might be ready for His coming.. .


" Thus had the Lord of hosts said, ' Dispense true justice, and practice kindness and compassion each to his brother: and do not oppress the widow or the orphan, the stranger or the poor; and do not devise evil in your hearts against one another.'" ( 7:9-10)

"These are the things which you should do: speak the truth to one another; judge with truth and judgement for peace in your gates. Also let none of you devise evil in your hearts against another, and do not love perjury; for all these things I hate, declares the Lord. " ( 8:16-17)

Father in heaven, fill us with Your Spirit that we might live out Your will among the nations. Draw the lost to the Savior that they might also find redemption and salvation in Him.  We long to see the day when the King of Glory comes to rule over all the earth!  Come quickly Lord Jesus.
Amen.
