Commentary on Zechariah 4:7

Theological / Devotional

Great mountain. Symbolic of the seemingly insuperable difficulties Zerubbabel had to meet in accomplishing his purpose (see on Isa. 2:2).

Headstone. Zerubbabel is given the assurance that he will finish the work of restoration by putting on the headstone, or topstone, thereof. Compare 7T 170.

Shoutings. These are doubtless the cries of rejoicing of those witnessing the placing of the headstone.
