prophet was colleague with the prophet Haggai, and a worker together
|
|
with him in forwarding the building of the second temple
|
|
|
|
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Ezr+5:1">Ezra v. 1</A>);
|
|
|
|
for two are better than one. Christ sent forth his disciples two and
|
|
two. Zechariah began to prophesy some time after Haggai. But he
|
|
continued longer, soared higher in visions and revelations, wrote more,
|
|
and prophesied more particularly concerning Christ, than Haggai had
|
|
done; so <I>the last shall be first:</I> the last in time sometimes
|
|
proves first in dignity. He begins with a plain practical sermon,
|
|
expressive of that which was the scope of his prophesying, in the
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Zec+1:1-5">first five verses</A>;
|
|
|
|
but afterwards, to the end of
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Zec+6:1-15"><I>ch.</I> vi.</A>,
|
|
|
|
he relates the visions he saw, and the instructions he received
|
|
immediately from heaven by them. At
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Zec+7:1-14"><I>ch.</I> vii.</A>,
|
|
|
|
from an enquiry made by the Jews concerning fasting, he takes occasion
|
|
to show them the duty of their present day, and to encourage them to
|
|
hope for God's favour, to the end of
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Zec+8:1-23"><I>ch.</I> viii.</A>,
|
|
|
|
after which there are two sermons, which are both called <I>burdens of
|
|
the word of the Lord</I> (one begins with
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Zec+9:1-17"><I>ch.</I> ix.</A>,
|
|
|
|
the other with
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Zec+12:1-14 "><I>ch.</I> xxi.</A></A>),
|
|
|
|
which probably were preached some time after; the scope of them is to
|
|
reprove for sin, and threaten God's judgments against the impenitent,
|
|
and to encourage those that feared God with assurances of the mercy God
|
|
had in store for his church, and especially of the coming of the
|
|
Messiah and the setting up of his kingdom in the world.</P>
