Commentary on Zechariah 1:18

Theological / Devotional

Four horns. The second vision (vs. 18-21; in the Hebrew, ch. 2:1-4) shows the means by which God planned to fulfill His purpose. The horns are clearly defined as the powers that had “scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem” (v. 19; see PK 581). The number “four” may denote universality as suggested by the four points of the compass (see Dan. 8:8; 11:4) to which Israel had been scattered (Zech. 1:21; cf. ch. 2:6; see on ch. 1:8).
