Zechariah is a book of prophecies of a contemporary of Haggai. Zechariah urges the people to rebuild the Temple for he too believes in the imminent coming of the messianic kingdom. Both Zechariah and Haggai are concerned with the messianic hope and establishing Judah’s role in the fulfillment of that glorious hope.

Zechariah 12

12:1 The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.
