Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then said I, O my Lord,.... These are the words of the Prophet Zechariah to the angel that showed him this vision:
what are these? what is the meaning of this vision? particularly who are meant by the horses, red, speckled, and white, and those upon them?
And the angel that talked with me; who seems to be different from the Angel of the Lord, the man among the myrtle trees, Zechariah 1:8 he was one of the ministering spirits; see
Revelation 17:1:
said unto me, I will show thee what these [be]; that is, give an interpretation of the vision, and point out the persons intended by the horses.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
What are these? - He asks, not who, but what they import.
The angel that talked with me - Literally, âspake in me.â The very rare expression seems meant to convey the thought of an inward speaking, whereby the words should be borne directly into the soul, without the intervention of the ordinary outward organs. God says to Moses, âIf there is a prophet among you, I, the Lord, will make Myself known unto him in a vision, I will speak (literally) in him in a dream. My servant Moses is not so - In him will I speak mouth to mouth Numbers 12:6-9;â and Habakkuk says of the like inward teaching, âI will watch to see, what He will speak in meâ . It is the characteristic title of one attendant-angel, who was Godâs expositor of the visions to Zechariah (Zechariah 1:13-14, Zechariah 1:19, (Zechariah 2:2 Hebrew) Zechariah 2:3; (7) Zechariah 4:1, Zechariah 4:4-5; Zechariah 5:5, Zechariah 5:10; Zechariah 6:4). Dionysius: âBy his ministry God showed me things to come, in that that angel formed in the spirit and imaginative power of Zechariah phantasms or images of things which were foreshown him, and gave him to understand what those images signified.â
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Zechariah 1:9. O my lord, what are these — The angel here mentioned was distinct from those mentioned in the eighth verse; he who talked with the prophet, Zechariah 1:13.
