Zacarias 1:16 Meaning and Commentary

Zechariah 1:16

Therefore thus saith the Lord, I am returned to Jerusalem
with mercies
Having returned the people of the Jews from their captivity to Jerusalem, in which he had shown abundant mercy to them: my house shall be built in it, saith the Lord of hosts;
meaning the temple where he dwelt and was worshipped; the foundation of which had been laid two months before this prophecy was delivered, ( Haggai 2:18 ) and which should be raised up and finished, notwithstanding all the opposition of the enemy, and the discouragements of the people: and a line shall be stretched forth upon Jerusalem;
to measure with it, and build by it, the wall, streets, and houses of Jerusalem. The meaning is, that not only the temple should be built, but the city likewise, and that in great order, and with great exactness and symmetry; see ( Zechariah 2:1-4 ) . The Targum paraphrases it, "upon the building of the walls of Jerusalem".

Zacarias 1:16 In-Context

14 O anjo, pois, que falava comigo, disse-me: Clama, dizendo: Assim diz o Senhor dos exércitos: Com grande zelo estou zelando por Jerusalém e por Sião.
15 E estou grandemente indignado contra as nações em descanso; porque eu estava um pouco indignado, mas eles agravaram o mal.
16 Portanto, o Senhor diz assim: Voltei-me, agora, para Jerusalém com misericórdia; nela será edificada a minha casa, diz o Senhor dos exércitos, e o cordel será estendido sobre Jerusalém.
17 Clama outra vez, dizendo: Assim diz o Senhor dos exércitos: As minhas cidades ainda se transbordarão de bens; e o Senhor ainda consolará a Sião, e ainda escolherá a Jerusalém.
18 Levantei os meus olhos, e olhei, e eis quatro chifres.
