Zechariah 4:5-7

The Voice

Heavenly Messenger: ⁵ Do you not know what they are?

Zechariah: No, lord. I don’t.

Heavenly Messenger (changing the subject): ⁶ The Eternal, Commander of heavenly armies, has said this to Zerubbabel: “Your strength and prowess will not be enough to finish My temple, but My Spirit will be.” And He says this to those thwarting Zerubbabel’s efforts: ⁷ “Who are you, O mighty mountain of opposition? Before Zerubbabel, you will become nothing more than a smooth plain, and he will quarry the capstone and bring it out to the sound of people shouting, ‘God, grant it Your grace! God bless it!’”
