Zechariah

And moving swiftly on from Haggai, we have another prophet, Zechariah. He was, I suppose, a colleague of Haggai's and helped encourage the people as well. There are many references to the Angel of the Lord in this book, and Zechariah prophesied more about the coming of Jesus Christ than any other prophet except Isaiah.

I think it is just so awesome the way you can read something like this, written some 2,500 or so years ago, and know that it actually came true because we have the written evidence from Josephus and others (non Christians as well as Christians!) who wrote about Jesus. And if we know that some of these prophecies have come true, how much longer will it be before the others come true as well? We are living in the End Times, the days when we see the prophecies in the bible being fulfilled in our time.
