John Gill's Bible Commentary Ver. 8. Moreover, the word of the Lord came unto me, saying .] As follows; which is a confirmation of the angel’s interpretation of the vision.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 8-10 - The exact fulfilment of Scripture prophecies is a convincing proof of their Divine original. Though the instruments be weak and unlikely, ye God often chooses such, to bring about great things by them. Let no the dawning light be despised; it will shine more and more to the perfect day. Those who despaired of finishing the work, shall rejoic when they see Zerubbabel giving directions what to do, and taking car that the work be done. It is a comfort to us that the same all-wise almighty Providence, which governs the earth, is in particula conversant about the church. All that have the plummet in their hands must look up to the eyes of the Lord, have constant regard to Divin Providence, act in dependence on its guidance and submission to it disposals. Let us fix our faith on Christ, and view Him carrying on his work according to his own glorious plan, and daily bringing his spiritual building nearer to completion. (Zec 4:11-14)
