Almost every investigation of apocalyptic literature has stressed the centrality of eschatology for this genre. Scholars attempted to find the origin of this genre in prophetic literature, assuming that there is a genetic relation between the two. Attention was focused on post-exilic prophetic literature because it emphasized two traits that are constant in apocalypticism: eschatology and societal unrest. Therefore, Proto-Zechariah, who evinces both traits, has often been viewed as particularly important in the exploration of the connections between prophecy and apocalypticism. However, this line of thinking is evolutionistic and to a degree reductionistic.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a Almost every investigation of apocalyptic literature has stressed the centrality of eschatology for this genre. Scholars attempted to find the origin of this genre in prophetic literature, assuming that there is a genetic relation between the two. Attention was focused on post-exilic prophetic literature because it emphasized two traits that are constant in apocalypticism: eschatology and societal unrest. Therefore, Proto-Zechariah, who evinces both traits, has often been viewed as particularly important in the exploration of the connections between prophecy and apocalypticism. However, this line of thinking is evolutionistic and to a degree reductionistic.
520 $a The stylistic and societal similarities between Zechariah 1-6 and apocalypticism are clear but they have to be viewed apart from any genetic relationship to apocalyptic literature. One should not attempt to brand Proto-Zechariah as a "proto-apocalypticist" and venture to explain his distinct literary style and peculiar social situation by focusing to what followed. Instead one should try to explain why he used the particular type of visions and what his role was in the tumultuous era of the restoration by investigating the prophet's social milieu.
520 $a The results of such an approach have yielded the following insights. Proto-Zechariah's eschatological viewpoint is best categorized as realized eschatology. As such, it is distinct from pre-exilic, post-exilic and apocalyptic eschatology. It pertains to events that will happen to the immediate future and it is closely connected to the people's expectations that were generated by the hopeful event of the return from the exile. The prophet uses priestly language and has cultic interests but his politics are not partisan. The political system he proposes advocates an equal distribution of power between the high priest and the Davidic descendant. His message is inclusive and his interest in the Temple and the administrative structuring of the community were a propos to his socio-historical setting. A rhetorical analysis of his visions reveals that the specific type was used in order to overcome the communicative problems prevalent to his social context.
