The Lord calls the people to turn back to Him, warning them not to repeat the mistakes of their fathers. Zechariah has several visions, including one of a man on a red horse, four horns and four workmen, a measuring line, and a golden candlestick with seven oil lamps, all of which symbolize God's promise to rebuild the temple and restore Jerusalem. The Lord promises to bring a time of peace and prosperity, and to remove the iniquity of the land, and also warns the nations of judgment and promises restoration and salvation for Judah and Ephraim. The book concludes with a vision of the Lord fighting against the nations and standing on the Mount of Olives, and with a promise of a time of peace and prosperity for Jerusalem.
