ゼカリヤ書 2:10 JC

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Zechariah 2:10-13

10-13 Here is a prediction of the coming of Christ in human nature. Many nations in that day would renounce idolatry, and God will own those for his people who join him with purpose of heart. Glorious times are foretold as a prophecy of our Lord's coming and kingdom. God is about to do something unexpected, and very surprising, and to plead his people's cause, which had long seemed neglected. Silently submit to his holy will, and patiently wait the event; assured that God will complete all his... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Zechariah 2:1-99

Zech 2 THE ADVERSARIES BEING disposed of, the vision of chapter 2 carries the predictions a further step forward. That God should send a man with a line in his hand, wherewith to measure Jerusalem, indicated that the city was still an object of His attention and interest. The Jews that surrounded Zechariah might be pleased with the progress of their rebuilding operations, and inclined to be complacent about it, but they were to know that God had far more wonderful things in view, as the angel... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Zechariah 2:1-13

Vision of the Man with the Measuring-Line. The second vision had pictured the overthrow of the enemies of the people of the Lord. But this defeat being administered, the growth of the Lord's Church was assured. v. 1. I lifted up mine eyes again, once more being in a state of ecstasy, and looked, and, behold, a man with a measuring-line in his hand, evidently an angel sent for a special purpose. v. 2. Then said I, addressing the angel himself, Whither goest thou? And he said unto me, To... read more

Further Promises (Zechariah 2:6-13) And 1I lifted up my eyes1 and saw, and behold, a man, and in his hand a measuring-line. 2 And I said, Whither goest thou? And he said to me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its breadth and what its length. 3 And behold the angel 4 that talked with me came forth and another angel went forth to meet him, And said to him, Run,... read more

the Redemption of Jerusalem Zechariah 1:18-21 ; Zechariah 2:1-13 The work of Temple-building had ceased for fifteen years and the new resolve to arise and build might meet with a similar fate. But the four horns met with four carpenters. For Babylon the carpenter was Cyrus; for Persia, Alexander the Great; for Greece, the Roman; for Rome, the Gaul. No weapon that is formed to thwart God’s purposes can prosper. The young man with the measuring line embodied the new spirit animating the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Zechariah 2:1-13

The vision of the measuring line reveals the condition of Jerusalem which will result from the overthrow of her enemies. The young man with a measuring line goes forth to measure the restored city, and is prevented from doing so by an angel messenger, who, in figurative language, tells him that Jerusalem will be such that it will be impossible to measure. The nature of that prosperity is indicated in the statement that Jehovah's presence will make walls unnecessary, and its extent be so vast... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Zechariah 2:1-13

The Man and the Measuring Line Zechariah 2:1-13 INTRODUCTORY WORDS In the Book of Ezekiel, chapter 40, we have Ezekiel's vision which in some respects parallels the one in Zechariah. Ezekiel in the visions of God was brought into the land of Israel. He saw a man whose appearance was like the appearance of brass. The man had a line of flax in bis hand, and a measuring reed. He was measuring the wall on the outside of the House of God. Then he measured the Temple itself. In Zechariah's vision,... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Zechariah 2:1-13

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 2:6-13

Zechariah 2:6-1 Chronicles : . A Collection of Fragments. Zechariah 2:6 f. bids the Jews scattered through the Persian empire escape to Jerusalem, where they will be safe when the judgment comes upon Persia. The “ north” in Jeremiah’ s earliest prophecies referred to the Scythians, and was subsequently applied to the Chaldeans and their successors. In Zechariah 2:6 b the LXX has, “ I will gather you from,” etc. Possibly MT and LXX should be combined. In Zechariah 2:7 place “ daughter” before... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Zechariah 2:10

Sing and rejoice: now Christ calls them to rejoice in the goodness showed to them, and to sing forth the praises of him who showed it. O daughter of Zion; the whole nation of the Jews, the peculiar, redeemed, and restored people of God; they that had been in great and long captivity. I come, to execute judgments on thine adversaries, to complete thy deliverance and salvation; I come as foretold and promised, in the dispensations of Providence among the nations, in the performance of promises to... read more
