The Pulpit Commentary - Zechariah 1:12-16

A vision of mercy. "Then the angel of the Lord answered and said," etc. In the last portion ( Zechariah 1:7-11 ) we saw Christ, or the Angel-Jehovah, presented to us as a King, exercising visitatorial powers. In the present we seem to read of him under those two other principal aspects in which he is revealed to his people, viz. I. INTERCESSION . We find this to be: 1 . Exceedingly apposite. Much had already been done for the remnant of the Captivity; but much also remained.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Zechariah 1:13

The Lord answered. The Angel of Jehovah is thus ca]led as the representative of God, whether we regard him as the Logos or a created angel empowered by God (see note on Zechariah 1:11 ). This personage is often seemingly identified with Jehovah (comp. Zechariah 3:2 ; Genesis 18:1 , Genesis 18:2 , Genesis 18:13 , Genesis 18:17 , Genesis 18:22 ; Joshua 5:14 , Joshua 5:15 ; Joshua 6:2 ). He gives the answer to the interpreting angel, which the latter is to convey to the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Zechariah 1:14

Cry thou ( Isaiah 40:6 ). The prophet has to publish two things: I am jealous. The term implies ardent love, which cannot bear itself to be slighted, or the object of its affection to be injured (comp. Zechariah 8:2 , and note there; Numbers 25:11 , Numbers 25:13 ; Joel 2:18 ). For Jerusalem, as the capital of the kingdom; and for Zion, as the seat of worship. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Zechariah 1:13

And the Lord answered the angel that talked with me - Either directly, at the intercession of the angel of the Lord, or mediately through an answer first given to him, and by him communicated to the subordinate angel. Neither is expressed.Good words - As God had promised, “after seventy years shall be accomplished at Babylon, I will visit you and perform My good word unto you, causing you to return to this place” Jeremiah 29:10; and Joshua says, “There failed not ought of any good word which... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Zechariah 1:14

Cry thou - The vision was not for the prophet alone. What he saw and heard, that he was to proclaim to others. The vision, which he now saw alone, was to be the basis and substance of his subsequent preaching Jonah 1:2; Isaiah 40:2, Isaiah 40:6, whereby he was to encourage his people to persevere.I am jealous for Jerusalem - Literally, “I have been,” not now only but in time past even when I did not show it, “and am jealous”, with the tender love which allows not what it loves to be injured .... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Zechariah 1:13-17

Zechariah 1:13-17. And the Lord answered the angel “By a voice, or impulse; and the angel communicated the reply to Zechariah.” Newcome. So the angel said, Cry thou Now publish what thou hearest, and assure God’s poor, captive, empoverished church, that he will do her good. Saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts The God of armies, and the Father of his people; I am jealous for Jerusalem I have been jealous against, but now am jealous for Jerusalem; my love is now raised to a very high... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Zechariah 1:7-21

Encouragement to the builders (1:7-2:13)In the first vision some mounted patrol officers have just returned from a tour of duty and report to a rider on a red horse who is standing among some trees (7-10). The patrol officers report that throughout the empire all is calm and peaceful (11).This report may be good news for the Persians but it is not for the Jews, who have now been in bondage to foreign overlords for more than seventy years. They long for freedom and pray for God’s mercy (12-13).... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Zechariah 1:13

"And Jehovah answered the angel that talked with me with good words, even comfortable words."The exact message of comfort and encouragement is not repeated here, only the nature and character of the communication; but that is all that mattered. "The angel that talked with me," as distinguished from the angel of Jehovah relayed to Zechariah the thrilling, comfortable words in the next verse; and they were comforting indeed. read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Zechariah 1:14

"So the angel that talked with me said unto me, Cry thou, saying, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion, with a great jealousy."This was a total reaffirmation of God's love for His people. God would never restore Israel's wicked state, which was never in any sense, God's kingdom, but theirs. However, the ancient promises to Abraham and David still remained, and the word of the Lord would yet "go forth from Jerusalem" on the Day of Pentecost when the Gospel Age... read more
