SEV Biblia, Chapter 1:13
Y el SEÑOR respondió buenas palabras, palabras consoladoras a aquel ángel que hablaba conmigo.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Zechariah 1:13
Verse 13. The Lord answered the angel] And the angel told the prophet that the answer was gracious and comfortable. This answer is given in the next verse.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 13. And the Lord answered the angel that talked with me , etc.] (see Zechariah 1:9) what was the effect of Christ’s intercession for the people of the Jews, was communicated to a ministering angel, and by him to the Prophet Zechariah: [with] good words, and comfortable words ; such as would be for the good and comfort of God’s people, as follows; (see Isaiah 40:1,2).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 7-17 - The prophet saw a dark, shady grove, hidden by hills. This represente the low, melancholy condition of the Jewish church. A man like warrior sat on a red horse, in the midst of this shady myrtle-grove Though the church was in a low condition, Christ was present in the midst, ready to appear for the relief of his people. Behind him wer angels ready to be employed by him, some in acts of judgment, others of mercy, others in mixed events. Would we know something of the mysterie of the kingdom of heaven, we must apply, not to angels, for they ar themselves learners, but to Christ himself. He is ready to teach thos humbly desirous to learn the things of God. The nations near Jude enjoyed peace at that time, but the state of the Jews was unsettled which gave rise to the pleading that followed; but mercy must only be hoped for through Christ. His intercession for his church prevails. The Lord answered the Angel, this Angel of the covenant, with promises of mercy and deliverance. All the good words and comfortable words of the gospel we receive from Jesus Christ, as he received them from the Father, in answer to the prayer of his blood; and his ministers are to preach them to all the world. The earth sat still, and was at rest. It is not uncommon for the enemies of God to be at rest in sin, while his people are enduring correction, harassed by temptation, disquieted by fears of wrath, or groaning under oppression and persecution. Here ar predictions which had reference to the revival of the Jews after the captivity, but those events were shadows of what shall take place in the church, after the oppression of the New Testament Babylon is ended.
