Bible Trivia - 2/15/2009

Question: What two consecutive chapters of Zechariah prophesy the attempted siege of Jerusalem in the last days?

Answer: 13 and 14. (Zechariah 13-14)

Comments: Zechariah's last two chapters are part of a final oracle that depicts the attempted siege of Jerusalem in the last days. The oracle actually spans its final three chapters, 12-14. The book concludes on a high note as the oracle reveals a glorious apocalyptic vision of Israel in the last days. The final conflict results in the triumph of God's kingdom.

And the LORD will be king over all the earth; in that day the LORD will be the only one, and His name the only one. (Zechariah 14:9, NASB)
