Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Zechariah 2:7
"Ho Zion, escape thou that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon.""Escape thou ..." This is a feeble substitution for the dramatic words of the KJV, "Deliver thyself, O Zion ..."; and one may well question the reason for the change. "Delivering oneself" is a perpetual principle in God's economy of salvation, and the grand imperative of all ages. It found utterance upon the first day of the gospel age when Peter admonished his Pentecostal audience, "Save yourselves from this crooked generation"... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Zechariah 2:7
7. O Zion . . . daughter of Babylon—Thou whose only sure dwelling is "Zion," inseparably connected with the temple, art altogether out of thy place in "dwelling with the daughter of Babylon" (that is, Babylon and her people, Psalms 137:8; Isaiah 1:8). After the glory—After restoring the "glory" (Zechariah 2:5; Isaiah 4:5; Romans 9:4) of Jehovah's presence to Jerusalem, He (God the Father) hath commissioned ME (God the Son, Isaiah 48:16, the Divine Angel: God thus being at once the Sender and... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Zechariah 2:6-7
The Lord called His people to flee from the land of the north (cf. Jeremiah 3:18; Jeremiah 16:15; Jeremiah 23:8; Jeremiah 31:8) where He had scattered them as the four winds (cf. Isaiah 43:5-6; Isaiah 49:12). Most of the Israelite exiles had gone into captivity in Assyria, and most of the Judean exiles went into captivity in Babylon. However, there were many other Israelites who had been taken or had fled to Egypt (Jeremiah 43:7), Moab, Ammon, and Edom (Jeremiah 40:11-12), Persia, and many... read more

2. The oracle about enemy destruction and Israelite blessing 2:6-13This message brings out the practical implications of the two visions just related. It is a section of poetry in the midst of the prose visions. The prophet now spoke for the Lord, first to the Jews still in exile (Zechariah 2:6-9) and then to the Jews in Jerusalem (Zechariah 2:10-13). The first part deals with the overthrow of enemies and so connects with the second vision. The second part declares Yahweh’s sovereignty in Zion... read more

The Third Vision1-5. A young man with a measuring line goes forth to measure Jerusalem preparatory to rebuilding the walls. But an angel is sent to stop him.

The Jews are summoned to leave Babylon, for judgment is to fall upon that city. 10-12. God’s gracious promise to dwell in Jerusalem, to which the nations will come.1. A man with a measuring line] The vision is probably... read more

A SERIES OF SEVEN VISIONS.Zechariah 1:7 to Zechariah 6:15. Between the commencement of Zechariah’s prophetic labours and the incidents recorded in Zechariah 1:7 to Zechariah 6:15, the Prophet Haggai received the revelation contained in Haggai 2:10-23. On the four-and-twentieth day of the eleventh month, just five months after the re-building of the Temple was resumed, Zechariah sees a succession of seven visions in one night, followed by a symbolic action (Zechariah 6:9-15). read more

(6-13) This address to Zion may be taken as the words of the prophet himself, or of the angel who had been speaking before. In any case, it was intended to be communicated to the people by the prophet, whose mind had been prepared by the foregoing vision for the reception of such a revelation. read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Zechariah 2:1-13
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
