3 And, behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him,
3 While the angel who was speaking to me was leaving, another angel came to meet him
3 And behold, the angel who talked with me came forward, and another angel came forward to meet him
3 Just then the Messenger-Angel on his way out
3 And there was the angel who talked with me, going out; and another angel was coming out to meet him,
3 Then the angel who was with me went to meet a second angel who was coming toward him.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Zechariah 2:3
Commentary on Zechariah 2:1-5
(Read Zechariah 2:1-5)
The Son of David, even the Man Christ Jesus, whom the prophet sees with a measuring line in his hand, is the Master-Builder of his church. God notices the extent of his church, and will take care that whatever number of guests are brought to the wedding-supper, there shall be room. This vision means well to Jerusalem. The walls of a city, as they defend it, so they straiten its inhabitants; but Jerusalem shall be extended as freely as if it had no walls at all, yet shall be as safe as if it had the strongest walls. In the church of God there yet is room for other multitudes, more than man can number. None shall be refused who trust in Christ; and He never shuts out from heaven one true member of the church on earth. God will be a Wall of fire round them, which can neither be broken through nor undermined, nor can it be assailed without danger to those who attack. This vision was to have its full accomplishment in the gospel church, which is extended by admitting the Gentiles into it; and which has the Son of God for its Prince and Protector; especially in the glorious times yet to come.
