ZECHARIAH by ReviveSchool

This book of the Old Testament is rich in messianic prophecies, second only to the book of Isaiah. Participants in this course will see pictures of Christ both in His first coming as the PIERCED ONE and His second coming as the righteous King ruling His people from Jerusalem.

ZECHARIAH: MOSAICS OF THE MESSIAH

Jon Kehrer, Old Testament and biblical languages professor at Ozark Christian College will help you to read the book of Zechariah to see different pictures of Jesus as revealed through this prophecy. He weaves together these images from Zechariah with other Old Testament texts, to show their fulfillment in Jesus in the Gospels.
