Zechariah / Question
Question source
Zechariah
In Zechariah 4:6, the LORD’s word to Zerubbabel says the work will be accomplished not by human strength but by God’s Spirit. The following line pictures the “great mountain” becoming level ground before Zerubbabel in Zechariah 4:7. The statement emphasizes divine enabling for completing the task.
6Then he answered and spoke to me, saying, This is the word of Yahweh to Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says Yahweh of Hosts.
7Who are you, great mountain? before Zerubbabel [you shall become] a plain; and he shall bring forth the top stone with shouts of Grace, grace, to it.
