How do we know that Jesus is highlighted in the book of Zechariah?
Answered in 1 source
Zechariah contains numerous references that directly point to the coming Messiah, Jesus Christ.
The book of Zechariah is rich with prophecies and symbols that ultimately reveal God's plan for redemption through Jesus Christ. For example, we see direct references to the Messiah's coming, such as in Zechariah 9:9, which describes the King coming on a donkey, a fulfillment observed during Jesus' triumphal entry. Additionally, passages like Zechariah 11:12-13 detail the 30 pieces of silver, which was the price paid to betray Jesus. The emphasis on the 'Branch' in Zechariah 3:8 and 6:12 points to Christ as the one who continues to build God's temple, which includes His people. This link between Zechariah’s prophecy and the New Testament confirms the consistency of God's revelation through Scripture.
