(7:1) How much time had transpired since Zechariah had seen the night visions? (1:7) What did the delegates of Bethel ask the priests and the prophets? (7:3) When and why had they kept the fastings in Babylon? (8:19; 2 Ki 25: 3-4, 8-9,25,1) Why you think they brought such a question? 2.

(1Sa 15:22; 1Cor 10:31) What are the words of the Lord’s commands to his people? (7:8-10) Who are “they” in verse 11 and how did they respond to the words of God sent through the earlier prophets?
