July 13: Restoration, Jerusalem
The prophet Zechariah probably lived in Ein Kerem, outside of Jerusalem after the people returned from Babylon. He grieved the state of the city and the land as the people delayed rebuilding the Temple. His prophesy reveals his passion for and petition to God to restore the people and the land. We see a partial fulfillment today, but ultimately only when “all Israel is saved.”
