Foreshadowings: Prophecies about Jesus Christ and the messianic era abound in Zechariah. From the promise that Messiah would come and dwell in our midst (Zechariah 2:10-12; Matthew 1:23) to the symbolism of the Branch and the Stone (Zechariah 3:8-9, 6:12-13; Isaiah 11:1; Luke 20:17-18) to the promise of His Second Coming where they who pierced Him will look upon Him and mourn (Zechariah 12:10; John 19:33-37), Christ is the theme of the Book of Zechariah. Jesus is the Savior of Israel, a fountain whose blood covers the sins of all who come to Him for salvation (Zechariah 13:1; 1 John 1:7).
Ishara: Unabii kuhusu Yesu Kristo na enzi za kimasiya uko kwa wingi katika Zakaria. Kutokana na ahadi kwamba Masihi atakuja na kukaa katikati yetu (Zekaria 2: 10-12; Mathayo 1:23) hadi kwa mfano wa Tawi na jiwe (Zakaria 3: 8-9, 6: 12-13; Isaya 11: 1; Luka 20: 17-18) hadi kwa ahadi ya kuja kwake mara ya pili ambapo waliomdunga watamwangalia na kuomboleza (Zekaria 12:10; Yohana 19: 33-37) Kristo ni kusudi la kitabu cha Zakaria. Yesu ni Mwokozi wa Israeli, chemchemi ambaye damu yake inafuta dhambi za wote ambao huja kwake kwa ajili ya wokovu (Zakaria 13: 1; 1 Yohana 1: 7).
