Zechariah 1:9 Meaning and Commentary

Zechariah 1:9

Then said I, O my Lord
These are the words of the Prophet Zechariah to the angel that showed him this vision: what are these?
what is the meaning of this vision? particularly who are meant by the horses, red, speckled, and white, and those upon them? And the angel that talked with me;
who seems to be different from the Angel of the Lord, the man among the myrtle trees, ( Zechariah 1:8 Zechariah 1:10 Zechariah 1:11 ) he was one of the ministering spirits; see ( Revelation 17:1 ) ( 21:9 ) : said unto me, I will show thee what these [be];
that is, give an interpretation of the vision, and point out the persons intended by the horses.

7 On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Shebat, in the second year of Darius, the word of the LORD came to Zechariah the prophet, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, as follows:

8 I saw at night, and behold, a man was riding on a red horse, and he was standing among the myrtle trees which were in the ravine, with red, sorrel and white horses behind him.

9 Then I said, "My lord , what are these?" And the angel who was speaking with me said to me, "I will show you what these are."

10 And the man who was standing among the myrtle trees answered and said, "These are those whom the LORD has sent to patrol the earth."

11 So they answered the angel of the LORD who was standing among the myrtle trees and said, "We have patrolled the earth, and behold, all the earth is peaceful and quiet."
