Verse 15
Zec 6:15 And they [that are] far off shall come and build in the temple of the LORD, and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you. And [this] shall come to pass, if ye will diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God.
Ver. 15. And they that are far off ] This was fulfilled in the conversion of the Gentiles, who, together with the Christian Jews, grew up into a holy temple in the Lord, Ephesians 2:19 , &c. It was also in some sense fulfilled in Cyrus, Darius, Artaxerxes, Herod, who were at great charge for the temple work. See Ezra 7:15-16 , the king and his council, the Babylonians and Jews, make a contribution to the work.
And ye shall know ] sc. By the event, and by your own experience.
If you will diligently obey the voice ] That is, If by faith ye receive Christ held forth in the promise: and then persist in the obedience of faith unto the end.
