This quiz, Zechariah, talks about Jesus Christ.
The penultimate book in the Old Testament is the Book of Zechariah. It is the eleventh of the Minor Prophetic Books and the thirty-eighth book in the Bible as a whole. Zechariah was active at the same time as his fellow prophet Haggai; approximately 16 years after the Jews returned home from their exile in Babylon, and during the construction of the second temple. The book has two themes; a series of visions and messages aimed at encouraging the people whilst they are rebuilding the temple, and prophecies concerning the coming of the Messiah made after the temple was completed. The Book of Zechariah is second only to the Book of Isiah in the Old Testament in the amount of information it gives us about the Messiah, Jesus Christ.
