Zechariah 4:6Not by might, nor by power The Word of the Lord to ZerubbabelDwell upon the very remarkable interpretation of the vision given by God Himself in the words of the text.I. The false grounds of confidence which are to be rejected. Summed up in the words “might and power,” including all earthly means and human instrumentality. We must beware of substituting temporal means and mortal instruments for the work of the Spirit, or the glory of God. Nothing short of the almighty power of God... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Zechariah 4:6

Zec 4:6 Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This [is] the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts. Ver. 6. This is the word of the Lord ] That is, this hieroglyphic contains the mind of God in it. This is the interpretation of the vision, neither so concise nor obscure, ut Oedipode sit opus (as a Lapide after Ribera here saith), that it can hardly be understood. For who seeth not by the opposition here made... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Zechariah 4:1-14

THE EIGHT NIGHT VISIONS, Zechariah 1:7 to Zechariah 6:8. About three months after Zechariah’s first utterance and five months after building operations on the temple were resumed (Haggai 1:15) there came to Zechariah in one single night a series of symbolical visions.

The visions have one common purpose, “the encouragement of the Jews to continue the work of restoring the temple and rebuilding the city and the re-establishing... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Zechariah 4:6

All the features were needed to complete the picture which was to serve as the means of instruction; but the angel attaches here a symbolic meaning only to one feature, the mysterious oil supply; the other features are of secondary importance, though a symbolical meaning is attached also to the two branches (Zechariah 4:12), and perhaps to the lamps (Zechariah 4:10). The message was intended... read more
