Zechariah 8:6
_ _ However impossible these things just promised by Me seem to you, they are not so with God. The “remnant” that had returned from the captivity, beholding the city desolate and the walls and houses in ruins, could hardly believe what God promised. The expression “remnant” glances at their ingratitude in rating so low God’s power, though they had experienced it so “marvelously” displayed in their restoration. A great source of unbelief is, men “limit” God’s power by their own (Psalms 78:19, Psalms 78:20, Psalms 78:41).
_ _ these days — “of small things” (Zechariah 4:10), when such great things promised seemed incredible. Maurer, after Jerome, translates, “in those days”; that is, if the thing which I promised to do in those days, seems “marvelous,” etc. |
Zechariah 8:6
Marvellous — These things may seem strange to this people. |
Zechariah 8:6
Thus saith the LORD of hosts; If it is (d) marvellous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days, should it also be marvellous in my eyes? saith the LORD of hosts.
(d) He shows in what our faith consists, that is, to believe that God can perform that which he has promised, though it seem ever so impossible to man; (Genesis 13:14; Romans 4:20). |
