The Visions and Prophecies of Zechariah

David Baron's exceptional study of the Book of Zechariah analyzes every meaningful passage in the text, provisioning the reader with a comprehensive education on the 'Prophet of Hope and Glory'.


Although Zechariah is categorized as one of the twelve minor prophets of the Old Testament, David Baron demonstrates the gravity of his significance. Experiencing eight distinct visions, each of which is analyzed in the text, Zechariah's predictions and role in ancient Jewish society were of much importance. Split into two parts, this book is designed for reference - the first part examines the prophetic words, while the second distinguishes and discusses the different prophesies.


The author's mission is to clarify the sometimes difficult messages of the Old Testament, and it is a task he takes to with gusto. David Baron combines a scholar's competence with lore with an author's ability to engage a reader and enliven what might otherwise be impenetrable. The reader will emerge from his analysis of Zechariah's life and words with an excellent understanding of this ancient text.


Baron's painstaking, passage-by-passage narration of the Book of Zechariah is typical of his style. Every word and hidden meaning is examined by the author, who was a scholar of both Jewish and Christian holy texts. As well as writing several distinguished Biblical commentaries on a variety of significant events and figures, the author was involved in promoting dialog and understanding between Jewish and Christian believers.
