Zechariah 8:18-23

The Answer. Fourth Section

In coming now to a direct answer to the question, out of which the whole prophecy arose, Almighty God enumerates not only the fast of the fifth monthto which the question immediately referred (Zechariah 8:3), but three other fasts (one of which, the fast of the seventh month, had been already mentioned, Zechariah 7:5), which were all governed by the same general principles. All these, He promises, shall become seasons of joy.
