Zakharia 1:13

1:13 The Lord then addressed good, comforting words to the angelic messenger who was speaking to me.

Zakharia 4:4

4:4 Then I asked the messenger who spoke with me, “What are these, ¹  sir?”

Zakharia 4:14

4:14 So he said, “These are the two anointed ones ²  who stand by the Lord of the whole earth.”

Zakharia 8:5

8:5 And the streets of the city will be full of boys and girls playing. ³ 

Zakharia 9:6

9:6 A mongrel people will live in Ashdod, for I will greatly humiliate the Philistines.

[4:4]  ¹ sn Here these must refer to the lamps, since the identification of the olive trees is left to vv. 11-14.

[4:14]  ² tn The usual word for “anointed (one),” מָשִׁיַח (mashiakh), is not used here but rather בְנֵי־הַיִּצְהָר (vÿne-hayyitshar), literally, “sons of fresh oil.” This is to maintain consistency with the imagery of olive trees. In the immediate context these two olive trees should be identified with Joshua and Zerubbabel, the priest and the governor. Only the high priest and king were anointed for office in the OT and these two were respectively the descendants of Aaron and David.

[8:5]  ³ sn The references to longevity and to children living and playing in peace are eschatological in tone. Elsewhere the millennial kingdom is characterized in a similar manner (cf. Isa 65:20; Jer 31:12-13).
