Scofield Reference Bible Notes
Zechariah 2

Zec 2:1-3—The ten visions: (4) the man with the measuring line.

Zec 2:1 I lifted up mine eyes again, and looked, and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand.

I lifted up mine eyes again

As in Zec 1:8-11, the "man" of Zec 2:1 is "the angel that talked with me" of Zec 1:3. The measuring-line (or reed) is used by Ezekiel (Eze 40:3, 5) as a symbol of preparation for rebuilding the city and temple in the kingdom-age. Here also it has that meaning, as the context (Zec 2:4-13) shows. The subject of the vision is the restoration of nation and city. In no sense has this prophecy been fulfilled. The order is:

  1. The Lord in glory in Jerusalem, Zec 2:5 (cf. Mat 24:29, 30);
  2. the restoration of Israel, Zec 2:6;
  3. the judgment of Jehovah upon the nations, Zec 2:8, "after the glory" (Mat 25:31, 32);
  4. the full blessing of the earth in the kingdom, Zec 2:10-13.

See "Kingdom (O.T.)" Scofield Gen 1:26; Zec 12:8. "Israel," Scofield Genesis 12:2; Romans 11:26).

Zec 2:3 And, behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him,

Scofield Hebrews 1:4, note.

Zec 2:4-13—Jerusalem in the kingdom-age.

shall choose Jerusalem again

Christ (Second Advent). Zec 6:12, 13. (Deu 30:3; Acts 1:9-11.)
