Then the angel who was speaking with me came out, saying, “Now lift up your eyes and see what this is that is going forth.” And I asked, “What is it?” He said, “This is the ephah basket going forth. This represents their iniquity throughout all the land.” The lead cover was lifted, and there was a woman sitting in the ephah basket. And he said, “This is wickedness.” And he threw her back into the basket and then thrust back the lead stone over its opening. Then I lifted my eyes and saw coming forward two women. There was wind in their wings, and the wings were like those of a stork, and they lifted up and carried the ephah basket between heaven and earth. Then I said to the angel who was speaking with me, “Where are they carrying the basket?” He responded, “To build a house for it in the land of Shinar. And when the house is established, the basket will be set there on a pedestal.”

Like Haggai, Zechariah prophesies during the post-exilic period as Israel began resettling in the Promised Land. Zechariah encourages Israel to remain faithful and prophesies of a coming righteous King who will bring salvation to His people (Zechariah 9:10). This book reminds us that we too must be to what God has called us to, always hopefully anticipating when God Himself “will be king over all the earth” (Zechariah 14:9).
