In the small province of Yehud in the sixth century BC, Zechariah the prophet was thoroughly engaged with the realities of his own day, but never closed in by them. His preaching was driven by the conviction that Gods kingdom would come, and his will be done, whatever obstacles human beings might put in his way. This unwavering conviction gives the book of Zechariah its special character and unifies its diverse visions and oracles. Barry Webbs masterful and perceptive exposition challenges us to make Zechariahs conviction our own, and focuses our longing for Gods kingdom on the person of Jesus the Messiah.
