Zacarías 2:8-11

8 Porque así dice el SEÑOR de los ejércitos, cuya ^[a] gloria me ha enviado contra las naciones que os despojaron, porque el que os toca, toca la niña de su ojo:

9 He aquí, alzaré mi mano contra ellas, y serán despojo para sus esclavos. Entonces sabréis que el SEÑOR de los ejércitos me ha enviado.

10 Canta de júbilo y alégrate, oh hija de Sion; porque he aquí, vengo, y habitaré en medio de tideclara el SEÑOR.

11 Y se unirán muchas naciones al SEÑOR aquel día, y serán mi pueblo. Entonces habitaré en medio de ti, y sabrás que el SEÑOR de los ejércitos me ha enviado a ti.

Zacarías 2:8-11 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO ZECHARIAH 2

This chapter contains a prophecy of the church under the Gospel dispensation; of the largeness and numbers of it; and of its protection and glory, through the presence of God in it. In this vision a man is seen with a measuring line in his hand, to measure Jerusalem with, Zec 2:1,2 upon which an angel bids the angel that talked with the prophet to declare to him the largeness, populousness, and safety of Jerusalem, Zec 2:3-5 then follows an exhortation to the people of God to come out of Babylon, Zec 2:6,7 and then a promise of the calling of the Gentiles, and of God's gracious inhabitation in his church, which would be matter of joy to Zion; and of his inheriting Judah, and choosing Jerusalem Zec 2:8-12 and the chapter is concluded with an address to all mankind, to be silent before the Lord, since he was raised up out of his habitation, Zec 2:13.
