Zec 1:9 | KingComments | STEP | Zechariah asks for an explanation. He gets it from an angel. His questioning attitude is a good one for a young man. This angel is probably the one by whom the LORD makes His announcements to Zechariah, and not the angel of the LORD (cf. ).

‏ Zechariah 1:9

The Question for Explanation

Zechariah asks for an explanation. He gets it from an angel. His questioning attitude is a good one for a young man. This angel is probably the one by whom the LORD makes His announcements to Zechariah, and not the angel of the LORD (cf. Rev 1:1 ; Rev 22:6). The angel does not give the answer himself, but indicates what Zechariah must look for to get the answer.
