Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Zechariah 1:12

_ _ Not only does Messiah stand among His people (the “myrtles,” Zechariah 1:8), but intercedes for them with the Father (“Lord,” or “Jehovah of hosts”) effectively (Zechariah 1:13; Hebrews 7:25). Compare Psalms 102:13-20; Isaiah 62:6, Isaiah 62:7, as to Judah’s restoration in answer to prayer.

_ _ answered and said — said in continuation of the discourse: proceeded to say.

_ _ how long — Messiah’s people pray similarly to their Head. Revelation 6:10, “How long,” etc. Heretofore it was vain to pray, but now that the divinely appointed “threescore and ten years” (Jeremiah 25:11; Jeremiah 29:10) are elapsed, it is time to pray to Thee for the fulfillment of Thy promise, seeing that Thy grace is not yet fully manifested, nor Thy promise fulfilled. God’s promises are not to make us slothful, but to quicken our prayers. Henderson, dating the seventy years from the destruction of Jerusalem (588 b.c.), supposes two years of the seventy had yet to run (520 b.c.).

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Zechariah 1:12

Then the (m) angel of the LORD answered and said, O LORD of hosts, how long wilt thou not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which thou hast had indignation these threescore and ten years?

(m) That is, Christ the mediator prayed for the salvation of his Church, which was now troubled, when all the countries about them were at rest.
