In this chapter, Zechariah comes out with a prophecy more like the type we would see in Isaiah, and it includes strong Messianic and gospel ideas. The most obvious is the Palm Sunday prophecy in verse 9 quoted by the gospel writers. Rejoice greatly, daughter of Zion! Shout, daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your King comes to you! He is righteous, and having salvation; lowly, and riding on a donkey, even on a colt, the foal of a donkey. However hidden in this chapter is also the telling of the destruction of the temple and the spreading of the gospel after Jesus death and resurrection. Who knew? Christ did, that is for sure.
