Notes

Zechariah 4:14

two anointed ones: Jeshua and Zerubbabel, served as the religious and civic leaders of Jerusalem after the return from exile in Babylon (Zechariah 3:1, 7; 4:6–7; Haggai 1:14; 2:2–3). They were anointed with oil during their commissioning. Under their leadership, the temple of the Lord was rebuilt, and worship was restored in Jerusalem.

Zechariah 4:1–14

This vision shows that God, through his Spirit, would help Zerubbabel and Jeshua rebuild the temple.

Zechariah 1:7–6:15

These eight visions helped the Judeans overcome their fears and trust in God's promises. The visions happened two months after Haggai's last two messages (Haggai 2:10–19, 20–23). They suggest that Haggai's prophecies were coming true.
