1 · Core Story & Meaning
Zechariah strengthens rebuilders with visions and future hope—God will restore, cleanse, and bring a humble king; the end is peace and worship.
Core Sentence · Zechariah in One Line
Hope outruns rubble: visions strengthen the weak, and a humble king points to lasting peace.
Zechariah
├─ night visions
├─ cleansing + Spirit empowerment
├─ true worship ethics
└─ Messiah + future peace horizon
Emotionally: weariness → symbolic comfort → cleansing → hope horizon.
Four Major Movements
How the book actually flows:
1. NIGHT VISIONS (1–6): encouragement + cleansing
2. ETHICS (7–8): justice, mercy, true worship
3. MESSIAH THEMES (9–13): king, shepherd, cleansing fountain
4. FINAL DAY (14): God reigns; worship and peace
This is the “museum walk path” you can follow as a clean narrative rail.
