SEV Biblia, Chapter 1:10
Y aquel varón que estaba entre los arrayanes respondió, y dijo: Estos son los que el SEÑOR ha enviado para que anden la tierra.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Zechariah 1:10
Verse 10. The man that stood among the myrtle trees] The angel of the Covenant, as above, ver. 11. Whom the Lord hath sent] Who are constituted guardians of the land.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 10. And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered and said , etc.] And so prevented the angel from giving the account he was about to give; and who was more capable of it, and which to do was great condescension in him, and was doing the prophet a singular honour: these [are they] whom the Lord hath sent to walk to and fro through the earth ; which is a description of the angels, the ministering spirits sent forth by God to take their tour throughout the earth; not to do mischief, as Satan does; but to do good to kingdoms, nations, and men in general, and to the heirs of salvation in particular; for which they are commissioned and empowered of God; (see Hebrews 1:14).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 7-17 - The prophet saw a dark, shady grove, hidden by hills. This represente the low, melancholy condition of the Jewish church. A man like warrior sat on a red horse, in the midst of this shady myrtle-grove Though the church was in a low condition, Christ was present in the midst, ready to appear for the relief of his people. Behind him wer angels ready to be employed by him, some in acts of judgment, others of mercy, others in mixed events. Would we know something of the mysterie of the kingdom of heaven, we must apply, not to angels, for they ar themselves learners, but to Christ himself. He is ready to teach thos humbly desirous to learn the things of God. The nations near Jude enjoyed peace at that time, but the state of the Jews was unsettled which gave rise to the pleading that followed; but mercy must only be hoped for through Christ. His intercession for his church prevails. The Lord answered the Angel, this Angel of the covenant, with promises of mercy and deliverance. All the good words and comfortable words of the gospel we receive from Jesus Christ, as he received them from the Father, in answer to the prayer of his blood; and his ministers are to preach them to all the world. The earth sat still, and was at rest. It is not uncommon for the enemies of God to be at rest in sin, while his people are enduring correction, harassed by temptation, disquieted by fears of wrath, or groaning under oppression and persecution. Here ar predictions which had reference to the revival of the Jews after the captivity, but those events were shadows of what shall take place in the church, after the oppression of the New Testament Babylon is ended.
