Zechariah 2:4
_ _ this young man — So Zechariah is called as being still a youth when prophetically inspired [Grotius]. Or, he is so called in respect to his ministry or service (compare Numbers 11:27; Joshua 1:1) [Vatablus]. Naturally the “angel that talked with” Zechariah is desired to “speak to” him the further communications to be made from the Divine Being.
_ _ towns without walls for the multitude ... Cattle — So many shall be its inhabitants that all could not be contained within the walls, but shall spread out in the open country around (Esther 9:19); and so secure shall they be as not to need to shelter themselves and their cattle behind walls. So hereafter Judea is to be “the land of unwalled villages” (Ezekiel 38:11). Spiritually, now the Church has extended herself beyond the walls (Ephesians 2:14, Ephesians 2:15) of Mosaic ordinances and has spread from cities to country villages, whose inhabitants gave their Latin name (pagani) to pagans, as being the last in parting with heathenism. |
Zechariah 2:4
And he said — Christ to that angel who came to meet him. Run — Hasten and tell Zechariah. As towns — The suburbs of it shall be as towns unwalled, for extent and for safety. |
Zechariah 2:4
And said to him, Run, speak to this (b) young man, saying, (c) Jerusalem shall be inhabited [as] towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle in it:
(b) Meaning himself, Zechariah.
(c) Signifying the spiritual Jerusalem and Church under Christ, which would be extended by the Gospel through all the world, and would need no material walls, nor trust in any worldly strength, but would be safely preserved and dwell in peace among all their enemies. |
