Why is Zechariah so important? The book of Zechariah contains the clearest and the largest number of messianic (about the Messiah) passages among the Minor Prophets. In that respect, it’s possible to think of the book of Zechariah as a kind of miniature book of Isaiah.
The book begins with Zechariah’s challenge to his generation to turn back to God and not act like their ancestors who rebelled and refused to listen to the earlier prophets. That rebellion is what landed them in exile. The people’s response to Zechariah was ideal, as they repented and humbled themselves before God—or so it seemed.

In 520 BC (the second year of Darius, the Persian king) God raised up two prophets, Haggai and Zechariah, to inspire the people to a renewed dedication and resolve for the work of the kingdom. Zechariah directed attention to God’s redemptive purpose, covenant promises, and unrivaled power to accomplish his will.
Zechariah is a commonly used name in the Old Testament and means the LORD remembers, a meaning that contributes to the hope of the Messiah’s first and second coming prophesied in Zechariah’s book. The dates mentioned in the book confirm that he was a contemporary of Haggai (Zechariah 1:1, 7; 7:1).
