Bible Book OverviewsSteve Gregg
In this overview of the book of Zechariah, Steve Gregg delves into the prophet's messages regarding the Maccabean period and the Messianic age. He discusses the symbolism of the active parables, such as the creation of an elaborate crown set on the head of Joshua, the high priest, as a symbol of the Messiah. Gregg also draws connections between Zechariah's prophecies and various events in the New Testament, such as the arrival of Jesus in Jerusalem on a donkey, and Peter's quote about the time prophesied by Zechariah.
