Sermon Bible Commentary - Zechariah 1:7-17

Zechariah 1:7-17 The rider in the myrtle grove. I. The prophet saw a grove of myrtle trees in a hollow or low place. By the myrtle grove all are agreed is signified the covenant people, the nation of Israel, and by its being in a low place is indicated their depressed and sad condition. In the Hebrew mind the idea of modest beauty and freshness was associated with the myrtle, and hence we find this introduced as symbolical of the Church under the reign of the Messiah, when, "instead of the... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Zechariah 1:1-21

He had another prophecy in the seventh month, and his last prophecy was in the ninth month.Now Zechariah also dates his prophesies in the reign of Darius, the Medo-Persian king. So between... and at... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Zechariah 1:1-21

Zechariah 1:1 . Zechariah; that is, the memory of God; a name which might seem prophetic, for the Lord remembered his people while yet in Babylon. He was contemporary with Haggai, and acted in concert with him. The Lord inspired him to speak of events which would befal the jews, till the advent of Christ; and to lose his views in the effulgence of the latter day. He foresaw, as Daniel did, the succession of the four monarchies to the coming of Christ, and the full establishment of the... read more

Then said I, O my Lord, what are these? ] Thus the prophets inquired and searched diligently (as saith St Peter ( ερευνωντες ), 1Pe 1:11 ), for the truth of things, as hunters seek for game, and as men seek for gold in the very mines of the earth; who, not content with the first ore that offered itself to their view, dig deeper and deeper till they are... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Zechariah 1:7-21

THE EIGHT NIGHT VISIONS, Zechariah 1:7 to Zechariah 6:8. About three months after Zechariah’s first utterance and five months after building operations on the temple were resumed (Haggai 1:15) there came to Zechariah in one single night a series of symbolical visions. Their significance was made plain to him by a heavenly interpreter. The visions have one common purpose, “the encouragement of the Jews to continue the work of restoring the temple and rebuilding the city and the re-establishing... read more
