Gaebelein Studies in Zechariah This exposition contains so much about Christ, about His first and His Second coming, and the prophecies and fulfillments.
Gaebelein, in his autobiography “Half a Century: The Autobiography of a Servant” pgs. 87-88, wrote this concerning Studies in Zechariah…
“The first book I published was Studies in Zechariah. It has gone through nearly twenty editions and has been published in a German translation in Germany. As this exposition contains so much about Christ, His first and His Second coming, I sent a free copy to every Jewish Rabbi in New York and vicinity, but I never heard a word from any of them. One day I noticed a young Hebrew in my Temple Court Bible Reading. He paid splendid attention and became a regular attendant. I spoke to him, and he said that he was the Secretary of Rabbi…. ‘One day,’ this young man said, ‘ the Rabbi received a book in the mail. He read it for a while and then fired it into the waste paper basket. I took it home with me. This book opened my eyes, and I believe Jesus is our Messiah and Saviour.’ The book was Studies in Zechariah.”
Arno Clemens Gaebelein (August 27, 1861 – December 1945) was a Methodist minister in the United States. He was a prominent teacher and conference speaker. He was also the father of the educator and philosopher of Christian education Frank E. Gaebelein.
Being a dispensationalist, he was a developer of the movement in its early days. Two of his books, Revelation, an Analysis and Exposition and Current Events in the Light of the Bible explain the dispensationalist view of eschatology.
