Zechariah 8 is a message of hope and restoration. “This is what the Lord Almighty says: I am very zealous for Zion… I will return there and dwell in Jerusalem… and it will be called the City of Truth… the city will have the aged sitting in the streets and boys and girls playing there too… I will save my people from east and west and bring them back to Jerusalem… so let your hands be strong so that the temple can be built… the seed will grow well and the vine will yield its fruit… I will save you and you will be a blessing… I have determined to do good again to Jerusalem… so speak truth… render sound judgement… love truth and peace… and many nations will come to Jerusalem to seek the Lord… and people will ask to go with you because God is with you!”
