This is not a commentary, but a series of Bible studies employing the Inductive Study Approach in order to arrive at a knowledge of how the text should be personally applied to one's life. Formatted in a question and answer format, it facilitates the process of observation-what does the text say, interpretation-what does the text mean, and the ultimate goal of application-how should I personally apply the text to my life. Something the reader of Zechariah has to pay attention to is that which applies to the original historical situation of Zechariah's day, that which was foretold through Zechariah and fulfilled in the course of Christ's First Coming, and that which still has a future anticipated fulfillment in the Second Coming. The local historical conflicts involving Jerusalem and Judah have a much greater, ultimate realization in what is referred to over and over again in the text of Zechariah as "that day"-that is, what we know to be the closing stages of the 70th Week of Daniel as it culminates and then initiates the Millennial Reign of Christ. In the process of God's literal redemption of Jerusalem, the land and the people comes their spiritual redemption, so that ultimately as all these take their place in His Millennial Kingdom and everything meets God's standards of finally being "HOLY TO THE LORD." (Zech. 14:20) This is something which can be leveraged in our personal application of the Scriptures contained in Zechariah. We need to not only understand that God is in control and has a plan in spite of how current circumstances appear to us, and that He has a much greater purpose and plan which is future to our current work, but intrinsically building upon it. Faithfulness to His Word and ways in the present have are not only impactful on others-especially future generations, but on our own spiritual destiny as well. But our own agenda is to live so as to be biblically qualified as "holy to the Lord." Another is to note that as they are building the Temple of God-which in the New Testament economy is now the Body of Christ, there is not simply the requirement that we live in obedience to His Word and ways in order to properly serve and worship, but provide an example to those called from afar to also come and worship. The literal demands placed upon Israel as an example to the Gentiles is a basis for the self-examination of believers in their witness and role to the unsaved at present.

The story of Jonah and the whale is one of the most famous in the Bible: but its message is perhaps one of the most ignored.
