The book of Zechariah is a portion of the Hebrew Bible and the Christian Old Testament. It seems in most biblical texts as the last book in the "Little Prophets" category, which includes 12 short books of revelation. The book itself declares that it was constructed in the two years before 520 BC 518. Like the prophetic book of Achaia, a contemporary of Zechariah, this book is put against the backdrop of the exodus from Babylon to Jerusalem. With a total of 14 chapters, this book is one of the two lengthy books of young diviners. It comprehends two parts written from various angles. Most philosophers believe that chapters 9 to 14 were later composed by another author. A young man named Zachariah arrived with an elder prophet to convey teachings from the Lord to the Jewish remnant who had lately returned from Babylon, especially in comparison to his contemporary Haggai. Despite the fact that Haggai's general message was more cautious (calling out the Jews' sin and self-interest), Zechariah stressed a voice of encouragement to the Israelites who were attempting to restore their temple. The visions of Zechariah and the messages of Haggai 1– 8 took place within the same general period as Haggai, with a call to repentance to the people of Judah (Zechariah 1: 1). After that, he had eight visions and preached four messages. These visions seek to foster hope in a society returning from exile by looking at modern events in the context of God's rule around the world. These chapters have extensively impacted Christian writers. These verses quote Jesus' misery in the Gospels. So the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament correlates Jesus riding a donkey to a king riding a donkey in Jerusalem. The Shepherd Accepts 30 Silver Coins (11:12) This can be distinguished from the 30 silver coins that the preacher claims Judas received for deceiving Jesus. The preacher also recalls the words of the disciples, "I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered" (Matthew 26:31) (Zechariah 13: 7).
