Zechariah Article
STEPBible TIPNR
Zechariah, the son of Jeberechiah, was a witness to the prophet Isaiah's writing concerning the birth and naming of his son, Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz. God instructed Isaiah to record this prophecy and have it witnessed by faithful witnesses, one of whom was Zechariah. The name of Isaiah's son was symbolic, meaning "quick to the plunder, swift to the spoil," and signified the coming judgment on Syria and Israel by Assyria. Zechariah's role as a witness indicates his trustworthiness and possibly his prominence in the community. He is described as a faithful witness, suggesting his commitment to God and His word.
