Sacharja 1:3 Meaning and Commentary

Zechariah 1:3

Therefore say thou unto them
This is an order from the Lord to Zechariah, to say unto them, in the name of the Lord: thus saith the Lord of hosts;
of the hosts above and below, of angels and of men, of heaven and earth, and all that is therein: this is said, that the greater regard might be had to his words: turn ye unto me, saith the Lord of hosts;
by repentance, and acknowledgment of former sins; by reformation for the future; by attending to the worship and service of God, and seeking to glorify him. So the Targum, "return to my worship": this is not the condition of what follows, but what follows is the motive and encouragement to this: and I will turn unto you, saith the Lord of hosts;
to dwell among them, manifest himself unto and protect them. Three times the phrase, "the Lord of hosts", is used in this verse: it may be with respect to the three Persons in the Godhead, Father, Son, and Spirit; who manifest themselves unto, and take up their abode with, such as love the Lord, and keep his commandments; see ( John 14:21 ) .

Sacharja 1:3 In-Context

1 Im achten Monat, im zweiten Jahre des Darius, geschah das Wort Jehovas zu Sacharja, dem Sohne Berekjas, des Sohnes Iddos, dem Propheten, also:
2 Jehova ist heftig erzürnt gewesen über eure Väter.
3 Und sprich zu ihnen: So spricht Jehova der Heerscharen: Kehret zu mir um, spricht Jehova der Heerscharen, und ich werde zu euch umkehren, spricht Jehova der Heerscharen.
4 Seid nicht wie eure Väter, denen die früheren Propheten zuriefen und sprachen: So spricht Jehova der Heerscharen: Kehret doch um von euren bösen Wegen und von euren bösen Handlungen! aber sie hörten nicht und merkten nicht auf mich, spricht Jehova.
5 Eure Väter, wo sind sie? Und die Propheten, leben sie ewiglich?
