The One Whom the Lord Remembers
Prophet Zechariah, whose name means "the one whom the Lord remembers," prophesied in Jerusalem from 520 to 518 BC. Zechariah was the eleventh of the twelve minor prophets, and he was a contemporary of Haggai. Zechariah's prophecy took the shape of visions and dialogues with God. Not only did Zechariah encourage the Jews to complete the rebuilding of the temple, but he also prophesied of the coming of Christ, making more predictions about him than any other prophet with the exception of Isaiah.
Wednesday night we eat in his honor.
