Zechariah 1:3-6. Therefore say Rather, but say thou unto them, Thus saith the Lord, Turn ye unto me The word turn, as it related to the people, signified that they should change their corrupt manners and turn to God in newness of life; and by God’s turning to them, was meant, that he would take them again into his favour, and perform for them acts of manifest kindness, instead of displeasure. Be ye not as your fathers Do not persist in impenitence as your fathers did. Instead of... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Zechariah 1:1-6

1:1-6:15 ZECHARIAH’S VISIONSCall to repentance (1:1-6)At the time Zechariah delivered his first message, Haggai had already been preaching for about two months (1:1; cf. Haggai 1:1). In his two recorded messages of that time, Haggai had shown that all Israel’s current difficulties were because of the people’s selfishness and disobedience in failing to rebuild the temple. As a result of Haggai’s preaching the people stirred themselves and started building again (Haggai 1:1-2:9).Zechariah now... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Zechariah 1:6

"But my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants the prophets, did they not overtake your fathers? and they turned and said, Like as Jehovah of hosts thought to do unto us, according to our ways, and according to our doings, so hath he dealt with us."But my words and my statutes ..." This thought contrasts with the ephemeral nature of the lives of the fathers and the prophets just mentioned. The argument is that, although the men who spurned the words of God uttered by the prophets... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Zechariah 1:1-6

I. INTRODUCTION 1:1-6That this pericope introduces the whole book seems clear since Zechariah 1:7 introduces the eight night visions that follow it (Zechariah 1:7 to Zechariah 6:8). Its content is also foundational to all that follows."It strikes the keynote of the entire book, and is one of the strongest and most intensely spiritual calls to repentance to be found anywhere in the Old Testament." [Note: George L. Robinson, The Twelve Minor Prophets, p. 150. Cf. Walter C. Kaiser Jr., Toward an... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Zechariah 1:5-6

Their ancestors had perished and the former prophets who warned them were no longer alive to continue warning them. They would not have endless opportunities to repent. The punishments that the former prophets had warned the people about had overtaken them. The Lord had pursued and caught the evildoers like a hunter captures his prey. Then they acknowledged that the Lord had indeed done as He had warned them that He would do (cf. Deuteronomy 28:15; Deuteronomy 28:45; 2 Chronicles 36:16). This... read more
