We read Zechariah’s prophecy
Zechariah is considered one of the minor prophets of the Old Testament. He began his prophetic ministry around 520 BC, in the period immediately after the Babylonian exile. His book, in fact, addressed mainly to the Jewish veterans who had been deported to Babylon, but for the prophecies contained in it, this book is still very important today for its purely messianic conception and for the clear references to the first and second Coming of Jesus. Composed of only fourteen chapters, but cited forty times in the New Testament, this book amazes scholars for the quantity and precision of the prophecies: his are those that predict the entry of Jesus into Jerusalem (9: 9 ), His betrayal for thirty silver shekels (11: 12-13), His death as a beaten and humiliated shepherd (13: 7), His return to the Mount of Olives (14: 4) and His millennial reign as high priest and king (14: 9).

[9] I raised my eyes again to look and saw two women coming forward: the wind waved their wings, for they had wings like those of storks, and lifted up the basket between earth and heaven. [10] the angel who talked with me, “Where are they taking the ephah?”. [11] He replied: “They go to the land of Shinar, to build a temple. Just built, the ‘
Is it the vision of a ufo? an object that advance? a hatch from which to access the inside of the flying saucer? the Efa on a pedestal? a platform for takeoff or landing? What do you think?
