Zacarias 1:1 Meaning and Commentary

Zechariah 1:1

In the eighth month
The month Marchesvan, called the month Bul, in ( 1 Kings 6:38 ) which answers to part of our October, and part of November: this was but two months from the first prophecy of Haggai, ( Haggai 1:1 ) and but a few days after his second, ( Haggai 2:1 ) so near were the prophecies of these two prophets together: in the second year of Darius:

Zacarias 1:1 In-Context

1 No oitavo mês do segundo ano do reinado de Dario, a palavra do SENHOR veio ao profeta Zacarias, filho de Berequias e neto de Ido:

2 “O SENHOR muito se irou contra os seus antepassados.

3 Por isso, diga ao povo: Assim diz o SENHOR dos Exércitos: Voltem para mim, e eu me voltarei para vocês”, diz o SENHOR dos Exércitos.

4 “Não sejam como os seus antepassados aos quais os antigos profetas proclamaram: ‘Assim diz o SENHOR dos Exércitos: Deixem os seus caminhos e as suas más obras’. Mas eles não me ouviram nem me deram atenção”, declara o SENHOR.

5 “Onde estão agora os seus antepassados? E os profetas, acaso vivem eles para sempre?
