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

The Eight Night Visions And Accompanying Oracles (Zechariah 1:7 to Zechariah 6:8 ).

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.

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

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Zechariah 2:12

The Lord; Jehovah, the God of Abraham and of his seed, who had cast off Judah, and seemed to quit his claim in his ancient inheritance, by a disseisin of seventy years. Shall inherit; claim, recover, possess, and delight in, as a man doth in his paternal inheritance. Judah; all his Israel; this tribe mentioned, but all the rest included.

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Zechariah 2:13

Be silent; murmur not, you that love not Zion; dispute not, you that, think these promises are too good, too great; but, in silence, reverence and adore God in all his excellences and ways; wait, and expect the accomplishment of all by him who never utters more than he can and will do for his people. O all flesh; both Jew and Gentile; you are weak, short-sighted, and worthless; you are flesh, be silent and wait. Before the Lord; the wise, mighty, gracious, and faithful One; who never suffered a... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Zechariah 2:1-13
