Zechariah's Night Visions
A5, 86 Pages, Colour illustrations
Along with many other prophecies in Scripture the visions seen by Zechariah recorded in the first six chapters of his prophecy have a double meaning. Clearly, they will only be completely fulfilled when God's Kingdom is set up on earth and "all the earth is resting quietly" (Zech 1v11)
But such an exclusive interpretation would have been of little relevance or comfort to the beleaguered inhabitants of Jerusalem in the days of the Persian Empire in the fifth century BC.
This book is an attempt to relate the visions to those troubled days, without in any way excluding a still future fulfilment.
A Study of the relevance of the visions of chapters 1-6 to the prophet's own times, and a suggested interpretation of chapter 11
