• Zerubbabel...is sustained by the promise of the successful issue of his work. (“Zechariah 4” by E. Dennett)
• The mountain, we apprehend, is symbolized all the obstacles that lay in the way of the completion of the work. (“Zechariah 4” by E. Dennett)
• The Lord Jesus, it is more than probable, referred to this scripture...(Matt. 21:21). (“Zechariah 4” by E. Dennett)
• The headstone is connected with the completion of the building; the foundation-stone had long since been laid (see Ezra 3:15; 4:24; 5:1) and hence the promise refers to the conclusion of the work, which should be accompanied by the joy of the people, and their acknowledgment in their joy that grace, Jehovah’s favor, had accomplished all. (“Zechariah 4” by E. Dennett)
