Bible Question:
Is John the Baptist's father the same man as in Zechariah in OT who wast temple priest. My bible timeline says Zechariah OT was 500 bc. That would make him about 600 yrs when Elizabeth got pregnant, I think. HELP!!!! Very confused. Thanks for this service. You are being blessed by God and it is overflowing to bless me! |
Bible Answer: I believe your information is correct, the two Zechariahs lived at least 450 years apart. How many Matthew, Mark, Luke and John and Alex do you know? Probably more than one. There are at least four distinct Marys in the New Testament. Zechariah means "YHWH remembers." Both had the same job of temple priest. Hope this answers your question as you continue to study your Bible. |
