ゼカリヤ書 1:9 JC

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Zechariah 1:1-99

Zech 1 AS WE COMMENCE to read Zechariah we note that, just as with Haggai, definite dates are given for the messages that God gave through him; and the first verse reveals that his first message Zech 1.2-1.6 was uttered between Haggai's word of encouragement, in the early part of his second chapter, and the word of warning, recorded later in that chapter. We think we may term Zechariah's first message, a word of exhortation. We may wonder perhaps, why such a word at that juncture was needed?... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Zechariah 1:7-17

The Vision of the Horses Among the Myrtle Trees v. 7. Upon the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month, which Is the month Sebat, five months after the building of the Temple had been resumed, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the Lord unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying, v. 8. I saw by night, in a night vision, some time between six o'clock in the evening and six o'clock in the morning, and behold a man riding upon a red horse, the... read more

II. THE NIGHT VISIONSZechariah 1:7 to Zechariah 6:15This division contains a series of visions all given at one time and therefore naturally supposed to be closely connected with each other and to exhibit an orderly progress of thought. The first vision sets forth the evident need of a divine interference in behalf of the people, with a strong assurance that it shall be vouchsafed. The second indicates one form of this interference in the fact that the foes are driven away. The third promises... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Zechariah 1:1-17

a Vision of Pardon and Restoration Zechariah 1:1-17 Zechariah does not slur over the sins of the past, but lays stress on the divine forgiveness. His only fear is lest God should call in vain, and the people refuse as their fathers did. Notice the repetition of God’s title, Lord of Hosts, five times in the first six verses. The enemy’s armies were vast, but the protecting hosts, vaster. A glimpse of these hosts is given in the following vision. A green valley, filled with myrtles, the emblem... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Zechariah 1:1-21

About a month after Haggai's second message, in which he had encouraged the people who were in danger of being disheartened by the memory of the past, Zechariah uttered his first prophetic word. He gave them another view of the past, intended to warn them. He reminded them that Jehovah was sore displeased with their fathers, and warned them not to walk in the same sins. Thus Haggai encouraged them by looking on to the new spiritual glory, while Zechariah exhorted them by looking back to the... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Zechariah 1:1-21

The Man among the Myrtle Trees Zechariah 1:1-21 INTRODUCTORY WORDS The visions have to do primarily with God's dealings with His chosen people Israel. They will, however, be full of lessons for the saints. God's dealings with His people of old are not distinct in method from His dealings with the Church. He is the same Lord unto all who call upon Him. His judgments are always just, and He is never any respecter of persons. The 1st chapter of Zechariah contains the Prophet's first vision. By... read more

The Eight Night Visions And Accompanying Oracles (Zechariah 1:7 to Zechariah 6:8 ). Zechariah now goes on to describe eight night visions, which he appears to have had in one night, which are in the main accompanied by oracles. These portray the commencement of the new beginning and are as follows: · The Horsemen Scouts go through the whole earth and find it at rest - Jerusalem will be restored (Zechariah 1:7-17). · The Four Horns and the Four Smiths - the opposing nations will be pared back... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Zechariah 1:7-17

Zechariah 1:7-Esther : . This section, to which Zechariah 1:7 is an editorial introduction, either is not the beginning of Zechariah’ s allegories, or has not come down to us in its original form, for the interpreting angel is mentioned in Zechariah 1:9 as already known to the reader. A verse introducing him may, however, have been omitted between Zechariah 1:8 and Zechariah 1:9, since the opening words of Zechariah 1:8 imply that we have here the beginning of the allegorical prophecies.... read more

Then; so soon as he had seen and observed. Said I; Zechariah. O my Lord: this was Christ the Lord of hosts. What are these? what is the meaning of these appearances or visions? The angel; Christ, the Angel of the covenant; so I take this Angel, that promiseth to inform the prophet, to be the same that appears, a man on the red horse among the myrtles. read more
