Zechariah 7-14

In the last entry, we discussed the reference to Jesus in chapter 6. The second section of Zechariah makes even more references. Let's discuss a few of these.


Chapter 9
Review vs 9,10
-These verses refer ultimately to the Triumphal Entry of Jesus into Jerusalem, (see Matt 21:5.) 
Why would a King enter His royal city in this manner?

Chapter 10
Review vs 4. (See also Gen 49:8-11)
What does this prophesy mean?
-What is a cornerstone? Who is the Cornerstone that Zechariah is referring to?

Chapter 11
Review vs 12, 13  (See also Mathew 26:14,15)
30 pieces of silver would be the price of a slave among the Isrealites in ancient times
-This was also the amount paid to Judas for the betrayal of Jesus.
-What does this transaction say about the teachers of the law and their perception of Jesus?

Chapter 12
Review v 10. (See Psalms 16-19
-Do you think that one day people will mourn that Jesus was pierced for their transgressions? Do you?

Chapter 14
