Zacarias 1:19 Meaning and Commentary

Zechariah 1:19

And I said unto the angel that talked with me
( Zechariah 1:9 Zechariah 1:13 Zechariah 1:14 ) : What [be] these?
that is, who do these horns signify? and what or whom do they represent? and he answered me, These [are] the horns which have scattered
Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem;
which may design the distresses, vexations, and captivities of the people of Israel by their enemies, as by the Moabites, Ammonites in the times of the judges; and the captivity of the ten tribes of Israel by Shalmaneser; and of the two tribes of Benjamin and Judah, and of the destruction of Jerusalem, by Nebuchadnezzar; when they were ventilated or fanned, as the word ^F24 signifies, and so scattered abroad; see ( Jeremiah 6:11 ) ( 15:7 ) and also their troubles in the times of the Medes and Persians, under Cambyses, until this second year of Darius; and may likewise have reference prophetically to their after troubles and captivity by the Romans; and to Rome Pagan, which persecuted and scattered the churches of Christ and people of God in the several parts of the world; and the antichristian states, the persecutors of the same.

Zacarias 1:19 In-Context

17 “Diga mais: Assim diz o SENHOR dos Exércitos: ‘As minhas cidades transbordarão de prosperidade novamente, e o SENHOR tornará a consolar Sião e a escolher Jerusalém’.”

18 Depois eu olhei para o alto e vi quatro chifres.

19 Então perguntei ao anjo que falava comigo: O que é isso?Ele me respondeu: “São os chifres que dispersaram Judá, Israel e Jerusalém”.

20 Depois o SENHOR mostrou-me quatro artesãos.

21 Eu perguntei: O que eles vêm fazer?Ele respondeu: “Ali estão os chifres que dispersaram Judá ao ponto de ninguém conseguir sequer levantar a cabeça, mas os artesãos vieram aterrorizar e quebrar esses chifres das nações que se levantaram contra o povo de Judá para dispersá-lo”.
