The Weirdest Book in the Bible
Welcome to the world of the weirdest book in the Bible. Not Revelation, Ezekiel or Daniel, but the little-known minor prophet Zechariah. It begins with a series of dreams, with strange images and odd goings-on. Then it gets seriously hard to understand. But Zechariah points to the coming of Jesus, and was mined by the writers of the New Testament as they tried to make sense of the Messiah. If you love puzzles, you're in for a treat.

Often the blogs go off into a little extra detail, which will interest some but not all. These geeky extras are indented, separated by ruled lines and in a smaller font. They can be ignored without spoiling the flow.
