Context — The Vision of the Horses
7On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, the month of Shebat, in the second year of Darius, the word of the LORD came to the prophet Zechariah son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo.
8I looked out into the night and saw a man riding on a red horse. He was standing among the myrtle trees in the hollow, and behind him were red, sorrel, and white horses.
9“What are these, my lord?” I asked. And the angel who was speaking with me replied, “I will show you what they are.”
10Then the man standing among the myrtle trees explained, “They are the ones the LORD has sent to patrol the earth.” 11And the riders answered the angel of the LORD who was standing among the myrtle trees, “We have patrolled the earth, and behold, all the earth is at rest and tranquil.”Cross References

Zechariah 1:9 Summary
[Zechariah 1:9 shows us that even in the midst of uncertainty and confusion, we can ask God for understanding and guidance, just like Zechariah did when he asked the angel, 'What are these, my lord?' (see also Psalms 32:8). The angel's response, 'I will show you what they are,' reminds us that God is willing to provide interpretation and insight when we seek Him (as seen in Jeremiah 33:3 and John 16:13). This verse encourages us to be humble and open to learning from God, just like Zechariah, and to trust in His sovereignty and provision, even when we do not fully understand what is happening.]
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the angel speaking with Zechariah in Zechariah 1:9?
The angel is not specifically identified in this verse, but based on the context, it is likely an angel of the Lord, similar to those mentioned in other parts of the Bible, such as Acts 12:7-10 and Hebrews 1:14.
What is the significance of Zechariah asking 'What are these, my lord?'?
Zechariah's question shows his humility and willingness to learn, as seen in other biblical accounts such as Psalms 119:66, where the psalmist asks for knowledge and understanding.
How does the angel's response relate to the rest of the vision in Zechariah 1:8-11?
The angel's response, 'I will show you what they are,' indicates that the angel will provide interpretation and understanding of the vision, which is a common pattern in biblical prophetic literature, as seen in Daniel 7:16 and Revelation 1:1.
What can we learn from Zechariah's interaction with the angel about our own relationship with God?
Zechariah's interaction with the angel demonstrates the importance of seeking understanding and guidance from God, as encouraged in Proverbs 3:5-6 and James 1:5, and being open to receiving revelation and insight from Him.
Reflection Questions
- What are some things in my life that I do not understand, and how can I, like Zechariah, ask God for clarity and guidance?
- In what ways can I, like Zechariah, demonstrate humility and a willingness to learn from God and His messengers?
- How can I apply the principle of seeking understanding and interpretation from God, as seen in this verse, to my own life and circumstances?
- What are some areas where I need to trust God's sovereignty and provision, even when I do not fully understand what is happening, as seen in Zechariah's vision?
Gill's Exposition on Zechariah 1:9
Then said I, O my Lord,.... These are the words of the Prophet Zechariah to the angel that showed him this vision: what are these? what is the meaning of this vision?
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Zechariah 1:9
Then said I, O my lord, what are these? And the angel that talked with me said unto me, I will shew thee what these be.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Zechariah 1:9
Then; so soon as he had seen and observed. Said I; Zechariah. O my Lord: this was Christ the Lord of hosts. What are these? what is the meaning of these appearances or visions? The angel; Christ, the Angel of the covenant; so I take this Angel, that promiseth to inform the prophet, to be the same that appears, a man on the red horse among the myrtles. Then; so soon as he had seen and observed. Said I; Zechariah. The angel; Christ, the Angel of the covenant; so I take this Angel, that promiseth to inform the prophet, to be the same that appears, a man on the red horse among the myrtles.
Trapp's Commentary on Zechariah 1:9
Zechariah 1:9 Then said I, O my lord, what [are] these? And the angel that talked with me said unto me, I will shew thee what these [be].Ver. 9. Then said I, O my Lord, what are these?] Thus the prophets inquired and searched diligently (as saith St Peter (ερευνωντες), 1 Peter 1:11), for the truth of things, as hunters seek for game, and as men seek for gold in the very mines of the earth; who, not content with the first ore that offered itself to their view, dig deeper and deeper till they are owners of the whole treasure. See Proverbs 2:4; and rest not till ye see that blissful sight, Ephesians 1:18-19. And the angel that talked with me] Or, in me, as the Vulgate rendereth it. This was some created angel, who might reveal things to the prophet by working on the phantasy and spirit, by way of information and instruction, as Daniel 9:21 Luke 1:11 Revelation 1:1. I will show thee what these be] How ready are the holy angels to serve the saints, Hebrews 1:14, rejoicing more in their names of office than of honour, of employment than preferment, to be called angels, that is, messengers, or internuncios, than principalities, thrones, dominions, Ephesians 1:20; accounting it better to do good than to be great, to dispense God’ s benefits than to enjoy them. Hence they are with and about the saints, as their companions, guides, protectors, monitors, and rulers of their actions, as here.
Ellicott's Commentary on Zechariah 1:9
(9) O my lord.—This is addressed to “the angel that talked with me,” or, perhaps, in me, according as we regard him as discharging the office of the Virgil of Dante, or the Daimon of Socrates (but, see Lawes’ History of Philosophy). LXX., ὁλαλῶνἐνἐμοί. This is the angel-interpreter, whose office it was to interpret the visions (Zechariah 1:18; Zechariah 2:3; Zechariah 4:1; Zechariah 4:4-5; Zechariah 5:5-10; Zechariah 6:4), and who is often referred to simply as “he.” I will shew thee.—viz., by the word of “the man who stood among the myrtles.”
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Zechariah 1:9
Verse 9. O my lord, what are these] The angel here mentioned was distinct from those mentioned in the eighth verse; he who talked with the prophet, Zechariah 1:13.
Cambridge Bible on Zechariah 1:9
9. O my lord] This question is addressed to the interpreting angel, of whose presence we are for the first time made aware by the fact that he replies to it. the angel that talked with me] This is the title by which this angel is distinguished throughout the visions: Zechariah 1:13-14 (where the A. V. has “communed with me”), 19, Zechariah 2:3, Zechariah 4:1; Zechariah 4:4-5, Zechariah 5:10, Zechariah 6:4. The phrase has been variously interpreted. Some would render “in me,” “in that that angel formed in the spirit and imaginative power of Zechariah phantasms or images of things which were foreshown him, and gave him to understand what those images signified.” Others take it to mean “by me,” “the prophet being the channel through whom the divine revelations were made.” But there is no reason to depart from the rendering of the A. V., which accurately describes the office of the angel as actually discharged by him in explaining the visions, and which is supported by Hebrew usage. Comp. Numbers 12:8, where it is difficult to understand how God should speak “face to face,” either “in,” or “by,” a man.
Barnes' Notes on Zechariah 1:9
What are these? - He asks, not who, but what they import. The angel that talked with me - Literally, “spake in me.” The very rare expression seems meant to convey the thought of an inward speaking,
Whedon's Commentary on Zechariah 1:9
9. The prophet, who does not understand the vision (compare Amos 7:1-9), seeks an explanation. O my lord — The one here addressed must be the person who replies, the heavenly interpreter.
