Zechariah 2:1

again

As in (Zechariah 1:8); the "man" of (Zechariah 2:1); (Zechariah 2:1) is "the angel that talked with me" of (Zechariah 1:3). The measuring-line (or reed) is used by Ezekiel (Ezekiel 40:3); (Ezekiel 40:5) as a symbol of preparation for rebuilding the city and temple in the kingdom-age. Here also it has that meaning, as the context (Zechariah 2:4) shows. The subject of the vision is the restoration of nation and city. In no sense has this prophecy been fulfilled. The order is:

(1) The Lord in glory in Jerusalem, (Zechariah 2:5).

Compare (Matthew 24:29); (Matthew 24:30)

(2) the restoration of Israel, (Zechariah 2:6);

(3) the judgment of Jehovah upon the nations, (Zechariah 2:8); "after the glory" (Matthew 25:31); (Matthew 25:32).

(4) the full blessing of the earth in the kingdom, (Zechariah 2:10);

See "Kingdom (Old Testament)" (Genesis 1:26).
