Old Testament Survey – Student Edition Micah thru Malachi Zechariah The Lord Has Remembered Author: Zechariah 1:1 identifies the author of the Book of Zechariah as the Prophet Zechariah. Date of Writing: The Book of Zechariah was likely written in two primary segments, between 520 and 470 B.C. Purpose of Writing: Zechariah emphasizes that God has used His prophets to teach, warn and correct His people. Unfortunately, they usually refuse to listen. Their sin brought God's punishment. The book also bears evidence that even prophecy could be corrupted. History shows that in this period prophecy fell into disfavour among the Jews, leading to the period between the Testaments when no lasting prophetic voice spoke to God's people. Key Verses: Zechariah 1:3; 7:13; 9:9; 13:9. Brief Summary: The book of Zechariah teaches that salvation may be obtained by all. The last chapter depicts peoples from all over the world coming to worship God, who desires that all people follow Him. This is not the doctrine of universalism, i.e., that all people would be saved because it is God's nature to save. Rather, the book teaches that God desires that all people worship Him and accepts those who do, regardless of their national or political expressions, as in the freeing of Judah and Jerusalem from their political enemies. Finally, Zechariah preached that God is sovereign over this world, any appearance to the contrary notwithstanding. His visions of the future indicate that God sees all that will happen. The depictions of God's intervention in the world teach that ultimately He will bring human events to the end He chooses. He does not eliminate the individual's freedom to follow God or rebel, but holds people responsible for the choices they make. In the last chapter, even the forces of nature respond to God's control. Practical Application: God expects sincere worship and moral living of us today. Zechariah's example of breaking through national prejudice reminds us to reach out into all areas of our society. We must extend God's invitation to salvation to people of all national origins, languages, races and cultures. Brief Outline of Zechariah I. An Encouragement (Ch. 1-8) A.

Old Testament Survey – Student Edition Micah thru Malachi Malachi Messenger Author: Malachi 1:1 identifies the author of the Book of Malachi as the Prophet Malachi. Date of Writing: The Book of Malachi was written between 440 and 400 B.C. Purpose of Writing: The Book of Malachi is an oracle: The word of the Lord to Israel through Malachi (1:1). This was God’s warning through Malachi to tell the people to turn back to God. Key Verses: Malachi 1:6; 2:7; 2:11; 2:13-16; 3:1; 3:6; 4:1-3. Brief Summary: Malachi wrote the words of the Lord to God’s chosen people who have gone astray. In particular the priests were in this group of people that have turned from the Lord. Priests were not treating the sacrifices they were to make to God seriously. Animals with blemish were being sacrificed even though the law stated animals without defect were the proper type of sacrifice to the Lord (Deuteronomy 15:21). The men of Judah were dealing with the wives of their youth treacherously and wondering why God would not accept their sacrifices. Also, people were not tithing like they should of (Leviticus 27:30, 32). Practical Application: God is not pleased when we do not obey His commands. He will repay those who disregard Him. As for God hating divorce (2:16), God takes the covenant of marriage seriously and He does not want it broken. We are to stay true to the spouse of our youth for a lifetime. God sees our hearts so He knows what our intentions are, nothing can be hidden from Him. He will return and He will be the judge. But if we return to Him, He will return to us (Malachi 3:6).
