• This Zechariah does not appear in any other passage; it is certain that he was of the priestly line; moreover, he had understanding in the visions of God; he was therefore a prophet and moreover a seer — not all prophets necessarily having this character. (“Uzziah: 2 Chronicles 26” by H.L. Rossier)
• Joseph had this gift, and Daniel was in the same position as Zechariah; he had "understanding in all visions and dreams" (Dan. 1:17). (“Uzziah: 2 Chronicles 26” by H.L. Rossier)
• This understanding makes him capable of edifying, comforting, and exhorting (1 Cor. 14:3). This was precisely what was needed by the kings of Judah who passed through times of ruin, such as we today pass through also. This is what Zechariah did. Under his ministry Uzziah sought the Lord and prospered. Like him, we must pay careful attention to the Word of God and to the mysteries it reveals to us. If we diligently seek to understand them, like Uzziah, we will enter upon an era of spiritual prosperity. (“Uzziah: 2 Chronicles 26” by H.L. Rossier)
