- that is the OT prophet, not John the Baptist's father, who lived in the early 6th century BC after the return of the exiles to Jerusalem. I'm going to offer some thoughts on this book which I hope to preach on this Advent. (Better figure this out pretty quick since Advent is upon us.)
Zechariah 1:2 in the ESV is this:
2 "The Lord was very angry with your fathers.
The Hebrew is 5 words, and two of them are the word angry. Thus, it could be rendered "Angry was the Lord with your forefathers with anger." (New Bible Commentary).
The Lord was angry with Zechariah's forefathers, but why is he angry with Zechariah's contemporaries?
Stay tuned!
