Notes

Zechariah 6:8

the LORD summoned me: The series of visions ends with a direct message from the Lord to Zechariah. By bypassing the interpreting angel, God stresses the certain and effective fulfillment of his word to Israel.
have given rest to My Spirit: Spirit can mean “anger,” as it does here (see Judges 8:3; Isaiah 33:11).

Zechariah 6:1–8

In Zechariah’s first and last visions, God sends horses to patrol the earth. These visions demonstrate God's control and care for all nations. This is an important part of Zechariah’s message of comfort and encouragement to the people of Judah after their exile in Babylon.

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.
