Zechariah 2:1
Revelation of John 21:15
Verse 15. And he that talked with me. The angel, Rev 21:9. Had a golden reed to measure the city. Rev 11:1. The reed, or measuring rod, here, is of gold, because all about the city is of the most rich and costly materials. The rod is thus suited to the personage who uses it, and to the occasion. Compare a similar description in Eze 40:3-5, 43:16. The object of this measuring is to show that the city has proper architectural proportions. And the gates thereof, etc. To measure every part of the city, and to ascertain its exact dimensions. (p) "golden reed" Rev 21:1, Eze 40:3, Zech 2:1
