8:3 I will live in Jerusalem: The great hope of the postexilic community was that the Lord would return to dwell among his people again (see 1:16-17; Hag 2:4-7; cp. Ezek 48:35). • I am returning: God would return to Jerusalem not just because the Temple had been rebuilt but because the Hebrew community had been purified (Zech 3). • Isaiah compared Jerusalem to a faithful woman who became a prostitute (Isa 1:21). Zechariah shared Isaiah’s vision of Jerusalem’s change into a Faithful City (or city of truth) again (Isa 1:26).
