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 2

2:8 For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.
