Notes
Grain … new wine: Large harvests of grain and wine showed that God was blessing his people in visible, everyday ways. Agricultural success was a clear sign of God’s favor (see Joel 2:19; Amos 9:13; compare Haggai 1:11).
The second message of Zechariah’s first oracle (Zechariah 9–11) contrasts war and peace, themes that have shaped human history. Judah’s future deliverer-king will win in battle, yet remain righteous and humble (Zechariah 9:9). He will bring peace to all nations during his universal reign (Zechariah 9:10).
