SEV Biblia, Chapter 6:7
Y los rucios salieron, y se procuraron por ir a andar la tierra. Y dijo: Id, andad la tierra. Y anduvieron la tierra.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Zechariah 6:7
Verse 7. And the bay went forth] The Seleucidae, who conquered Syria and the upper provinces, and who wished to extend their conquests, and "sought to go, that they might walk to and fro throughout the earth," were of unbounded ambition, and sought universal empire; such as Antiochus the Great. "So they walked to and fro," did extend their conquests; and harassed many countries by their vexatious and almost continual wars. Some think the Romans are meant, who carried their conquests hither and thither, just as the Divine providence permitted them.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 7. And the bay went forth, and sought to go , etc.] Without leave: these design either the Romans; or, since distinct from the grisled, the Huns, Goths, and Vandals; who sought to go out of their own places into other countries: and were desirous that they might walk to and fro through the earth : without control; overrunning as they, did the Roman empire, and set up ten kingdoms in it; unless this is to be understood of the land of Judea only, through which the Romans walked to and fro at pleasure, and subdued it: and he said ; that is, the Lord of the whole earth, before whom they stood: Get ye hence, walk to and fro through the earth ; as being filled with indignation at them, and yet suffered them to have their will; and so Kimchi interprets the phrase, “he gave them power to go and subdue lands;” and to the same purpose Jarchi, “he gave them power to rule with great authority; and this is the kingdom of Edom or Rome:” So they walked to and fro through the earth ; either the land of Judea, as the Romans did, and made it a Roman province; and these may represent Rome Papal, set up and supported by the above people, even the beast of Rome, which has reigned over the kings of the earth, to whom the ten kings gave their kingdom and power.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-8 - This vision may represent the ways of Providence in the government of this lower world. Whatever the providences of God about us are, as to public or private affairs, we should see them all as coming from between the mountains of brass, the immoveable counsels and decrees of God; and therefore reckon it as much our folly to quarrel with them, a it is our duty to submit to them. His providences move swiftly an strongly as chariots, but all are directed and governed by his infinit wisdom and sovereign will. The red horses signify war and bloodshed The black, signify the dismal consequences of war, famines pestilences, and desolations. The white, signify the return of comfort peace, and prosperity. The mixed colour, signify events of differen complexions, a day of prosperity and a day of adversity. The angels go forth as messengers of God's counsels, and ministers of his justice an mercy. And the secret motions and impulses upon the spirits of men, by which the designs of Providence are carried on, are these four spirit of the heavens, which go forth from God, and fulfil what the God of the spirits of all flesh appoints. All the events which take place in the world spring from the unchangeable counsels of the Lord, which ar formed in unerring wisdom, perfect justice, truth, and goodness; an from history it is found that events happened about the period when this vision was sent to the prophet, which seem referred to therein.
