Zechariah 6:13 Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule on his throne… I. THE TEMPLE. 1. Because the Church is consecrated to the service of God. 2. Is hallowed by His residence. 3. Is honoured by His self-manifestation. II. THE BUILDER. Because He — 1. Prepares the materials. 2. Employs the workmen. 3. Superintends the workmanship. III. THE GLORY. 1. From the unlikelihood of the materials. 2. From the magnitude of the obstacles. 3. From the diversity of the workmen. 4. From the perfection of the work. (G. Brooks.) Parallel Verses KJV: Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both. |
