Zechariah 8:6-7. If it be marvellous If these things promised appear difficult, and in a manner impossible; in the eyes of the remnant of this people In the judgment and opinion, or rather to the unbelief, of this people, who are few in number, exceedingly poor, and perpetually surrounded with dangers; in these days Which are days of small things; should it also be marvellous in mine eyes Impossible, or so much as difficult to me, who am the Almighty God. Thus saith the Lord of hosts... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Zechariah 8:1-23

Confidence for the future (8:1-23)Zechariah goes on to outline the blessings that will come to Jerusalem when God dwells there. God’s love for Jerusalem was the reason why he punished it so severely. With corresponding zeal he will restore it to a favoured place according to his covenant promises (8:1-3).In the new community of God’s people, there will be no place for fear or violence. Old and young alike will enjoy lives of freedom and contentment greater than they imagined possible (4-6).... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Zechariah 8:6

"Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: If it be marvelous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in those days, should it also be marvelous in mine eyes? saith Jehovah of hosts."There are ten of these brief statements in this chapter, each one introduced by an affirmation that the promise is of God and not of Zechariah. They begin in Zechariah 8:2,3,4,6,7,9,14,19,20,23.The subject here is the marvelous fact that a remnant of the people of God have been brought back home, an event unique in human... read more

It might seem difficult and marvellous to the Jews of those times, that Jerusalem should be called a city of truth, and that it should be full of old men and children, as if some great and extraordinary period was about to begin; therefore, lest the Jews should interpret this as spoken of their own times, it is immediately subjoined, Zechariah 8:7. I will save my people from the east and from the west, to give them to understand that... read more
