Minor Prophets: Zechariah, The Final Oracle

These last three chapters are Second Zechariahโ€™s second oracle, describing the completion of Godโ€™s plan from the beginning, from before the creation of the world. When God gave Godโ€™s people the seven feasts described in Exodus, they were each prophetic of Godโ€™s plan of salvation. So far, four of those feasts have been fulfilled in Christ, and chapters 12-14 reflect the fulfillment to come of the last three feasts.
