SEV Biblia, Chapter 6:13
El edificará el Templo del SEÑOR, y él llevará gloria, y se sentará y dominará en su trono, y será sacerdote en su trono; y consejo de paz será entre ambos a dos.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Zechariah 6:13
Verse 13. Even he shall build the temple] Joshua, not ZerubbHebel. He shall bear the glory] Have all the honour of it; for none can do this but himself. The Messiah is still intended.
And shall sit and rule upon his throne] For the government of the Church shall be upon his shoulder.
And he shall be a priest upon his throne] He shall, as the great high priest, offer the only available offering and atonement; and so he shall be both king and priest, a royal king and a royal priest; for even the priest is here stated to sit upon his throne.
And the counsel of peace shall be between them both.] Whom? ZerubbHebel and Joshua? Certainly not ZerubbHebel, for he is not mentioned in all this prediction; but, as the Messiah is intended, the counsel of peace-the purpose to establish peace between heaven and earth, must be between the Father and the Son.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 13. Even he shall build the temple of the Lord , etc.] Which is repeated, as Kimchi observes, for confirmation sake: and he shall bear the glory ; that is, of building the temple; and the phrase denotes that the glory of it shall be upon him, shall be hung upon him, as in ( Isaiah 22:24) and so shall be visible; that it would be weighty and heavy, he having many crowns on his head, put there by all the saints, who everyone of them ascribe glory to him; that it would continue, and not pass away like the glory of this world; and that he, and he alone, should bear it; not Joshua, nor Zerubbabel, nor the ministers of the word, nor members of churches, nor any other, but himself; he, and he alone, shall be exalted: and shall sit and rule upon his throne ; in heaven, having done his work on earth, where he is at ease and rest, and exercises power and authority; he rules over the whole world, and the kings of it in general, and in particular over his saints, by his Spirit, word, and ordinates, feeding, protecting, and defending them: and he shall be a Prince upon his throne ; he is both Priest and King, and exercises both offices at one and the same time, and even now in heaven; having offered himself as a sacrifice on earth, by which he has put away sin for ever, and perfected his people; he is set down upon his throne, as a King crowned with glory and honour; and ever lives as a Priest the throne, to make intercession for them; by appearing in the presence of God for them; by presenting his blood, sacrifice, and righteousness, to his divine Father; by offering up the prayers and praises of his people; by declaring it as his will that such and such blessings be bestowed upon them; and by applying the benefits of his death unto them: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both ; not between Joshua and Zerubbabel, who should agree together, as they did, in the administration of government belonging to their distinct offices; rather between the priestly and kingly offices of Christ; nor the council of peace between the Father and the Son, concerning the salvation of the elect; for that was past in eternity; but better the Gospel of peace, called the whole counsel of God, which, in consequence of Christ being a Priest on his throne, was preached to both Jews and Gentiles; which brought the glad tidings of peace and salvation by Christ to both, and was the means of making peace between them both.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 9-15 - Some Jews from Babylon brought an offering to the house of God. Thos who cannot forward a good work by their persons, must, as they ar able, forward it by their purses: if some find hands, let others fil them. Crowns are to be made, and put upon the head of Joshua. The sig was used, to make the promise more noticed, that God will, in the fulness of time, raise up a great High Priest, like Joshua, who is but the figure of one that is to come. Christ is not only the Foundation but the Founder of this temple, by his Spirit and grace. Glory is burden, but not too heavy for Him to bear who upholds all things. The cross was His glory, and he bore that; so is the crown an exceedin weight of glory, and he bears that. The counsel of peace should be between the priest and the throne, between the priestly and kingl offices of Jesus Christ. The peace and welfare of the gospel church and of all believers, shall be wrought, though not by two severa persons, yet by two several offices meeting in one; Christ, purchasin all peace by his priesthood, maintaining and defending it by his kingdom. The crowns used in this solemnity must be kept in the temple as evidence of this promise of the Messiah. Let us not think of separating what God has joined in his counsel of peace. We cannot com to God by Christ as our Priest, if we refuse to have him rule over u as our King. We have no real ground to think our peace is made with God, unless we try to keep his commandments __________________________________________________________________
