I'm Steve Schwetz, and I'm glad that you're riding the Bible bus with us as we continue our fascinating journey through the Old Testament book of Zachariah.

Now, if you're new to Through the Bible, welcome aboard, and you're now part of a worldwide listening family that's studying God's word together in more than 250 languages.

take the entire journey with you on our Bible bus, flash drive. Find out more at ttb.org or call
