What can you tell me about the prophet Zechariah?
Zechariah was one of the last prophets; he lived at the time of the return of the Jews from the Babylonian exile. In Ch.14, the last chapter of his book, he prophesies that Jerusalem will be attacked by non-Jews and half of its population exiled, but that G-d Himself will make war against the attackers, defeat them, and become the undisputed King of the world. Afterwards, all the peoples of the world will come to Jerusalem every year to celebrate the festival of Sukkos, and the city will be a peaceful and holy place. This prophecy doesn’t relate to Zechariah’s period; it refers to future events that haven’t yet taken place.
