🌅 The
Story of Zechariah — Visions, Hope, and the Coming Savior
Part One: A
Call to Repentance and Renewal
Zechariah spoke to the people after they
returned from exile.
God encouraged them to:
- Turn
from sin
- Obey
His commands
- Finish
rebuilding the temple
“Return to Me, declares the Lord Almighty, and
I will return to you.”
God promised that repentance brings
restoration and blessing.
Part Two:
Visions of God’s Glory
Zechariah received eight visions, full
of symbolic images:
- Horses
and riders representing God’s protection
- A man
measuring Jerusalem, showing God’s plan for restoration
- A
golden lampstand and olive trees symbolizing God’s Spirit
- A
flying scroll warning of sin and injustice
These visions encouraged the people to trust
God’s plan and remain faithful.
Part Three:
The Coming Messiah
Zechariah also prophesied about the Messiah:
- A
humble king would come, riding on a donkey
- He
would bring peace, salvation, and justice
- He
would be pierced, yet through Him, God’s kingdom would triumph
“Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion! See, your
king comes to you, righteous and victorious, lowly and riding on a donkey.”
These words point directly to Jesus Christ,
the Savior of the world.
Part Four:
God’s Comfort and Protection
Zechariah reminded the people that:
- God’s
Spirit strengthens and protects them
- He
will purify and cleanse His people
- Even
in times of difficulty, God’s plan cannot be stopped
“I am going to bring My servant, the Branch.”
Faith in God brings hope, courage, and
victory.
Part Five:

- Repentance
and obedience restore our relationship with God
- God’s
Spirit guides, strengthens, and protects His people

when life is challenging, God’s plan is perfect and unstoppable
