Zechariah 2:13 - Exposition

Be silent; hush (comp. Habakkuk 2:20 ; Zephaniah 1:7 , and notes there). In the expectation of these mighty events, men are called upon to wait in awe and reverence. He is raised up; he hath arisen. He had seemed to sleep when he let his people be trodden down by the heathen; but now he, as it were, waketh and cometh from heaven, his holy habitation ( Deuteronomy 26:15 ), to inflict the threatened judgment on the nations, and to succour his own people (comp. Psalms 44:23 , etc.).
