The Book of Zechariah is thought to have three authors, known today as First Zechariah, Second Zechariah and Third Zechariah, writing at different times in the post-Exilic period. Certainly, all three authors were writing to the Jews of their time, but particularly to those Jews who continued to worship the old gods of pre-Exilic times. A consistent theme throughout the book is that everyone must now follow in the ways of the Lord, who will judge the unrighteous.
