“The Rejection of Messiah”
Zechariah 9:1 to 11:17

In the final chapters (9-14) of his prophetic ministry to encourage the returned deportees in Jerusalem, Zechariah gives two oracles which look forward to the Messiah who is initially rejected but ultimately enthroned as King of the Messianic kingdom.

The first oracle looks forward to the day when God will send the Messiah (9:9), deliver the Israelites and pass judgment on the nations; this oracle is continued to the end of chapter 11.

It is called, “The burden of the word of the Lord,” because every word of God has weight in it to those who regard it, and it will be a heavy weight upon those who do not.
