Facts About Zechariah

Zechariah the Hebrew prophet, Zechariah the priest (and the father of St. John the Baptist), and Zechariah the king of Israel are three entirely different figures in the Bible.

The Zechariah we are referring to in this gallery is the Hebrew prophet who began writing his prophesies (the Book of Zechariah) at the time when the Jews returned from their exile in Babylon. He began this mission during the same period as the prophet Haggai (c. 520 B.C.), and was also the driving force behind the rebuilding of the Holy Temple.
