... What is the
significance of
Zachariah and Elizabeth in the
Orthodox interpretation? Please give me as much info and
references as possible. Thank you,
Dear Janet, ... Zachariah was an
ordinary Priest. His class or course was instituted by David
in 1 Chron 24:1 ... He ministered for one week and returned
home to Hebron. He married a Levite of the priestly line,
Elizabeth. The birth of John the Baptist was just as
miraculous as that of Isaac.

...Greetings in the Name of
Jesus: I need your help in getting understanding of the
entire book of Zechariah. I thank you in advance for your
anticipated response.
Dear Loretta, Zechariah was a
priest and a Prophet associated with Haggai in stimulating
the people to resume work and complete the Temple (Ezra 5:1;
6:14) We learn from him that he prophesied in 520 and 518
B.C. (1:1-7 ; 7:1 ) Some of the prophecies of Jesus the
Messiah are: 1. The Royal-Priestly Messiah 6:9-15 The
Triumphal Palm Sunday entry 9:9 The 30 pieces of silver and
the Potter's Field 11. The Piercing of Jesus
12:10
