On February 15 (the month of Shvat), in the second year of Darius’ reign, YAHWEH spoke to the prophet Zechariah son of Berechiah, son of Iddo. That night I had a vision. Behold, I saw a man sitting on a reddish-brown horse in the shadows of a grove of myrtles. And behind him I saw other horses—some brown, tan, and white with riders upon them. There was another angel there who talked with me, and I asked him, “What do these represent, my lord?” And the angel who was talking to me said, “Let me show you.” Then the man standing among the myrtles spoke up and said, “These are YAHWEH’s agents sent to patrol the earth.” Then the horsemen reported to the angel of YAHWEH who stood among the myrtles, “We have been patrolling the land, and indeed, all is peacefully at rest.”

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).
