Cheshvan 25, 5786; from sunset November 15, 2025, to sunset November 16, 2025

(The twenty-fifth day of the eighth month)

This is the name Zechariah, shown among the myrtle trees, a remembrance of his vision recorded in Zechariah chapter 1. Zechariah’s name means, “The LORD Remembers.”

There is not a specific day listed for the below scripture, only that it occured in the eighth month. We don’t want to miss the chance to remember the word of the LORD which came to Zechariah, especially since the name Zechariah means “The LORD Remembers.”

In the eighth month of the second year of Darius, the word of the LORD came to Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying, “The LORD has been very angry with your fathers. Therefore say to them, `Thus says the LORD of hosts: “Return to Me,” says the LORD of hosts, “and I will return to you,” says the LORD of hosts.

“Do not be like your fathers, to whom the former prophets preached, saying, `Thus says the LORD of hosts: “Turn now from your evil ways and your evil deeds.”‘ But they did not hear nor heed Me,” says the LORD.

“Your fathers, where are they? And the prophets, do they live forever? Yet surely My words and My statutes, which I commanded My servants the prophets, did they not overtake your fathers?” So they returned and said: `Just as the LORD of hosts determined to do to us, according to our ways and according to our deeds, so He has dealt with us.’” – Zechariah 1:1-6 (NKJ)
