Zechariah 2:10

Zechariah 2:10

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

Sing and rejoice. The Jews released from Babylon, and the whole Jewish nation, are bidden to exult in the promised protection and presence of the Lord. Lo, I come; Septuagint, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἔρχομαι, So Christ is called, ὁ ἐρχόμενος, "he that cometh" ().

I will dwell in the midst of thee (; ). Not merely the rebuilding of the temple is siginified, and the re-establisihment of the ordained worship (though without the Shechinah), but rather the incarnation of Christ and his perpetual presence in the Church.

κατασκηνώσω ἐν μέσῳ σου, which recalls , "The Word was made flesh, and dwelt ( ἐσκήνωσεν) among us" (comp. ; ; ; ).
