Zechariah 3:9
_ _ For — expressing the ground for encouragement to the Jews in building the temple: I (Jehovah) have laid the (foundation) stone as the chief architect, before (in the presence of) Joshua, by “the hand of Zerubbabel” (Zechariah 4:10; Ezra 3:8-13), so that your labor in building shall not be vain. Antitypically, the (foundation) stone alluded to is Christ, before called “the Branch.” Lest any should think from that term that His kingdom is weak, He now calls it “the stone,” because of its solidity and strength whereby it is to be the foundation of the Church, and shall crush all the world kingdoms (Psalms 118:22; compare Isaiah 28:16; Daniel 2:45; Matthew 21:42; 1 Corinthians 3:11; 1 Peter 2:6, 1 Peter 2:7). The angel pointing to the chief stone lying before Him, intimates that a deeper mystery than the material temple is symbolized. Moore thinks the “stone” is the Jewish Church, which Jehovah engages watchfully to guard. The temple, rather, is that symbolically. But the antitype of the foundation-stone is Messiah.
_ _ upon one stone shall be seven eyes — namely, the watchful “eyes” of Jehovah’s care ever fixed “upon” it (Zechariah 4:10) [Maurer]. The eye is the symbol of Providence: “seven,” of perfection (Revelation 5:6; compare 2 Chronicles 16:9; Psalms 32:8). Antitypically, “the seven eyes upon the stone” are the eyes of all angels (1 Timothy 3:16), and of all saints (John 3:14, John 3:15; John 12:32), and of the patriarchs and prophets (John 8:56; 1 Peter 1:10, 1 Peter 1:11), fixed on Christ; above all, the eyes of the Father ever rest with delight on Him. Calvin (perhaps better) considers the seven eyes to be carved on the stone, that is, not the eyes of the Father and of angels and saints ever fixed on Him, but His own sevenfold (perfect) fullness of grace, and of gifts of the Spirit (Isaiah 11:2, Isaiah 11:3; John 1:16; John 3:34; Colossians 1:19; Colossians 2:9), and His watchful providence now for the Jews in building the temple, and always for His Church, His spiritual temple. Thus the “stone” is not as other stones senseless, but living and full of eyes of perfect intelligence (1 Peter 2:4, “a living stone”), who not only attracts the eyes (John 12:32) of His people, but emits illumination so as to direct them to Him.
_ _ engrave ... graving — implying Messiah’s exceeding beauty and preciousness; alluding to the polished stones of the temple: Christ excelled them, as much as God who “prepared His body” (Hebrews 10:5; compare John 2:21) is superior to all human builders.
_ _ remove ... iniquity of that land in one day — that is, the iniquity and its consequences, namely the punishment to which the Jews heretofore had been subjected (Haggai 1:6, Haggai 1:9-11). The remission of sin is the fountain of every other blessing. The “one day” of its removal is primarily the day of national atonement celebrated after the completion of the temple (Leviticus 23:27) on the tenth day of the seventh month. Antitypically, the atonement by Messiah for all men, once for all (“one day”) offered, needing no repetition like the Mosaic sacrifices (Hebrews 10:10, Hebrews 10:12, Hebrews 10:14). |
Zechariah 3:9
Behold — Behold (pointing to a particular stone) that stone which I have laid in the sight of Joshua. Upon one stone — On that stone are seven eyes, probably so placed, that they may look many ways; so it was a more exact emblem of Christ, and of his perfect knowledge and wisdom. I have removed — I have pardoned the iniquity of this land at once. The temple, founded on such a corner — stone, guarded and watched over by all — seeing Providence, is the blessing and honour of that people, whose sins are all forgiven. |
Zechariah 3:9
For behold the (n) stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone [shall be] seven eyes: behold, I (o) will engrave the engraving of it, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will (p) remove the iniquity of that land in one day.
(n) He shows that the ministers cannot build before God lay the first stone, which is Christ, who is full of eyes, both because he gives light to all others, and that all ought to seek light from him; (Zechariah 4:10).
(o) That is, I will make perfect in all points, as a thing done by the hand of God.
(p) Though I have punished this land for a time, yet I will even now be pacified, and punish their sins no more. |
