Zechariah 1:8 - Forerunner Commentary

Zechariah 1:8

6 Yet surely ^aMy words and My statutes,
Which I commanded My servants the prophets,
Did they not overtake your fathers? “So they returned and said:
^b‘Just as the Lord of hosts determined to do to us,
According to our ways and according to our deeds,
So He has dealt with us.’ ” ’ ”

Vision of the Horses

7 On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Shebat, in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came to Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet:

8 I saw by night, and behold, ^aa man riding on a red horse, and it stood among the myrtle trees in the hollow; and behind him were ^bhorses: red, sorrel, and white.

9 Then I said, ^a“My lord, what are these?” So the angel who talked with me said to me, “I will show you what they are.”

10 And the man who stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, ^a“These are the ones whom the Lord has sent to walk to and fro throughout the earth.”

11 ^aSo they answered the Angel of the Lord, who stood among the myrtle trees, and said, “We have walked to and fro throughout the earth, and behold, all the earth is¹ resting quietly.”

The Lord Will Comfort Zion

12 Then the Angel of the Lord answered and said, “O Lord of hosts, ^ahow long will You not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which You were angry ^bthese seventy years?”

13 And the Lord answered the angel who talked to me, with ^agood and comforting words.
