Putting Zechariah in Perspective

Zechariah 14:1-3 was probably fulfilled around about the time of Israel's carrying away into Babylon and its return to the land of Israel.

4-11 is probably largely symbolic, and was probably fulfilled before Christ. The language was dramatic because it needed to be - Israel had long been in captivity in Babylon and needed great courage to return to the land of Israel.

12-15 was probably fulfilled before Christ.

16-21 was fulfilled during the Old Covenant, before Christ.
