Zec 2:1-13. Third Vision. The man with the measuring-line.

The city shall be fully restored and enlarged (Zec 2:2-5). Recall of the exiles (Zec 2:6, Zec 2:7). Jehovah will protect His people and make their foes a spoil unto them (Zec 2:8, Zec 2:9). The nations shall be converted to Jehovah, as the result of His dwelling manifestly amidst His people (Zec 2:10-13).

man with a measuring-line - the same image to represent the same future fact as in Eze 40:3; Eze 47:4. The “man” is Messiah (see on Zec 1:8), who, by measuring Jerusalem, is denoted as the Author of its coming restoration. Thus the Jews are encouraged in Zechariah’s time to proceed with the building. Still more so shall they be hereby encouraged in the future restoration.
