Zacarias 1:6

6 Mas as minhas palavras e os meus decretos, que ordenei aos meus servos, os profetas, alcançaram os seus antepassados e os levaram a converter-se e a dizer: ‘O SENHOR dos Exércitos fez conosco o que os nossos caminhos e práticas mereciam, conforme prometeu’.”

Zacarias 1:6 Meaning and Commentary

Zechariah 1:6

But my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants
the prophets
That is, the predictions which he ordered his prophets to declare in his name, that their fathers should die by the sword, or famine, or pestilence, or be carried captive, which he purposed in himself, and threatened them with: did they not take hold of your fathers?
overtake them, seize upon them, and have their accomplishment in them? not one thing has failed, or come short of being fulfilled, of all that was determined, or said should be done: and they returned and said;
that is, as many of them as perished not, but were carried captive; at least many of them, who either were thoroughly converted, and turned from their evil, or however in appearance: and who were obliged to own, Like as the Lord of hosts thought to do unto us, according to our
ways, and according to our doing, so hath he dealt with us:
as he purposed, so he performed, and that with great justice and equity, being what their evil ways and doings righteously deserved; see ( Isaiah 14:24 ) .

Zacarias 1:6 In-Context

4 “Não sejam como os seus antepassados aos quais os antigos profetas proclamaram: ‘Assim diz o SENHOR dos Exércitos: Deixem os seus caminhos e as suas más obras’. Mas eles não me ouviram nem me deram atenção”, declara o SENHOR.

5 “Onde estão agora os seus antepassados? E os profetas, acaso vivem eles para sempre?

6 Mas as minhas palavras e os meus decretos, que ordenei aos meus servos, os profetas, alcançaram os seus antepassados e os levaram a converter-se e a dizer: ‘O SENHOR dos Exércitos fez conosco o que os nossos caminhos e práticas mereciam, conforme prometeu’.”

7 No vigésimo quarto dia do décimo primeiro mês, o mês de sebate, no segundo ano do reinado de Dario, a palavra do SENHOR veio ao profeta Zacarias, filho de Berequias e neto de Ido.

8 Durante a noite tive uma visão; apareceu na minha frente um homem montado num cavalo vermelho. Ele estava parado entre as murtas num desfiladeiro. Atrás dele havia cavalos vermelhos, marrons e brancos.
