RF ZEC 1:1 A Call to Listen to God.
In the seventh month of the second year of Darius, the Command of the EVER-LIVING came to Zakariah-ben-Barakiah-ben-Ado, the Preacher, to say;—
RF ZEC 1:2 "The EVER-LIVING was angry with your fathers, angry;
RF ZEC 1:3 so say to them, Thus says the LORD OF HOSTS, 'Return to me,' says the LORD OF HOSTS, 'and I will return to you,' says the LORD OF HOSTS.
RF ZEC 1:4 Be not like your ancestors, when the former Preachers addressed them, to say,—'Thus says the LORD OF HOSTS turn from your evil paths and bad practices,'—for they would not listen, nor would they seek Me," says the EVER-LIVING.
RF ZEC 1:5 "Your fathers,—Where are they? And do the Preachers live for ever?
RF ZEC 1:6 "But, however, My words, and My decrees, and My commands to My servants the Preachers, did they not catch your forefathers, who repented and said, 'As the LORD OF HOSTS decided to do to us, He has done to us, in accordance to our ways and practices.'
RF ZEC 1:7 Zakariah in Vision shown a Red Horse and its Rider amongst the Myrtles.
On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, that is the month of Shebat, in the second year of Darius, the command of the EVER-LIVING came to Zakariah-ben-Barakiah-ben-Ado the Preacher;—
RF ZEC 1:8 And I was enlightened in the night, and saw a man mounted on a red horse, who stood amongst the shadow of the Myrtle trees; and red, bay, and white horses followed him.
RF ZEC 1:9 So I asked, "What are these, sir?" When the Messenger who conversed with me replied, "I will show you what these are."—
RF ZEC 1:10 Then the man who was stationed amongst the Myrtles answered and said, "These are those whom the EVER-LIVING sends to patrol the earth."
RF ZEC 1:11 Then they addressed the Messenger of the EVER-LIVING who was stationed amongst the Myrtles, and said, "We have patrolled the earth and all the earth rests and is still!"
RF ZEC 1:12 The Messenger of the EVER-LIVING, however, replied and exclaimed, "For how long; LORD, will you not have pity on Jerusalem? and the Cities of Judah, with which you have been angry for these seventy years?"
RF ZEC 1:13 And the EVER-LIVING responded to the Messenger who spoke with me in kind words, consoling words,
RF ZEC 1:14 when the Messenger of the EVER-LIVING who conversed with me said, "Proclaim and say,
"Thus says the LORD OF HOSTS, I am jealous for Jerusalem, and for Zion with a great jealousy;
RF ZEC 1:15 and I am angry with a great anger against the wanton Heathen!—When I was a little angry, they helped themselves to sin!—
RF ZEC 1:16 Therefore," thus says the EVER-LIVING, "I will return to Jerusalem with mercies. My House shall be rebuilt in it," says the LORD OF HOSTS, "and a Hope shall be extended to Jerusalem! "—
RF ZEC 1:17 Proclaim again, and say, "Thus says the LORD OF HOSTS; My City shall again expand with prosperity, and the EVER-LIVING again pity Zion, and choose Jerusalem again!"
RF ZEC 1:18 The Vision of the Horns and Smiths.
Then I raised my eyes and looked, and saw four horns!
RF ZEC 1:19 So I asked the Messenger who was conversing with me, "What are these?" When he replied to me, "Those are the horns that scattered Judah, and Israel, and Jerusalem."
RF ZEC 1:20 The Noble1 then showed me four smiths,
RF ZEC 1:21 and I asked, "What have these come to do?" When he replied by saying, "Those horns scattered Judah, so that hardly a man could hold up his head, but these come to terrify them, to depress the horns of the haughty Heathen, who toss up the land of Judah on their horns."

1 NOTE: Ch. 1, v. 20. "Noble." In the Hebrew Jehovah which is seen at times in the Bible to be used in the sense of "Noble," and is not always to be understood of the Supreme Being. The common error of translators and commentators in restricting in their works the title as alone to belong to God, has introduced great confusion into many passages. F.F.
