Zechariah: God Remembers

The name Zechariah means “God remembers.” This was a fitting name for a prophet at this point in Israel’s history for several reasons: 1) God remembered His people in captivity and brought them back to their land. 2) God remembered His promises to Israel’s forefathers and would move to fulfill those ancient promises. 3) God remembered Israel’s track record of disobedience and warned them not to repeat the sins of the past.
