Zechariah's Night Visions

Along with many other prophecies in Scripture, the visions seen by Zechariah recorded in the first six chapters of his prophecy have a double meaning. Clearly, they will only be completely fulfilled when God's Kingdom is set up on earth and "all the earth is resting quietly" (Zech. 1.11). But such an exclusive interpretation would have been of little relevance or comfort to the beleaguered inhabitants of Jerusalem in the days of the Persian Empire in the fifth century BC .
This book is an attempt to relate the visions to those troubled days, without in any way excluding a still future fulfilment.
