This volume of the MacArthur Old Testament Commentary Series (MOTC) explains the prophetic book of Zechariah. Designed to aid the preacher, this commentary is also intended to be read and applied by every believer for personal edification, blessing, and joy. 

No eschatology is complete or true which does not embrace the prophecy of Zechariah. Written to comfort Israel after the remnant’s return from Babylon, Zechariah’s message assured the Israelites that the Lord had not abandoned His people.  

Filled with visions, prophecies, signs, and vivid imagery, this revelation traces the flow of history to its climax when Christ will reign over the earth from His throne in Jerusalem. Zechariah predicted the coming of Alexander the Great, the Roman destruction of Jerusalem, the tyranny of the Antichrist, the battle of Armageddon, and the millennial reign of Christ.  

The Messiah, the Lord Jesus Christ, is the primary figure in Zechariah’s revelation. Zechariah predicted Christ’s entry into Jerusalem on a donkey, His betrayal for thirty pieces of silver, and His sacrificial death. Zechariah also revealed Christ’s future return to the Mount of Olives and the establishment of His kingdom over the earth. At that time, Israel will turn to God, and the Lord will say, “They are My people,” and Israel will respond, “Yahweh is my God” (Zech 13:9); and so “all Israel will be saved” (Rom 11:26).  

History will then reach its climactic point and “Yahweh will be king over all the earth; in that day Yahweh will be the only one, and His name one” (Zech 14:9).
 

What Others are Saying About the MacArthur Old Testament Commentary Series
“God regenerates and sanctifies us through His Word, and we can be thankful for this commentary series where the words of Scripture are carefully studied and explained.” Thomas R. Schreiner, James Buchanan Harrison Professor of New Testament Interpretation, Associate Dean of the School of Theology | The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
“I’ve read through the Bible twenty times, and I always heave a sigh when I arrive at Zechariah. I haven’t quite found a commentary that can adequately explain its intriguing visions, that flying scroll, or that strange woman in a basket. That is why I’m so excited about John MacArthur’s new commentary on this extraordinary book. Dr. MacArthur takes great pains to explain the prophet’s visions and symbols, helping us see that Zechariah’s peculiar actions were his way of drawing God’s people into his timely message. Thank you, Pastor John, for giving us an easy-to-read yet thorough explanation of the amazing book of Zechariah.” Joni Eareckson Tada, Joni and Friends International Disability Center
