the book of zechariah

The Book of Zechariah, a prophetic book in the Old Testament, focuses on encouraging the Israelites to rebuild the temple in Jerusalem and renew their relationship with God after their return from exile in Babylon. It features a series of night visions, oracles, and symbolic actions that point towards both the immediate restoration of Jerusalem and the ultimate establishment of God's kingdom, including the coming of a messianic figure, often interpreted as Jesus Christ.
