Zechariah 1:11 commentary

 

and they are saying We have walked to and fro through the earth and behold all the earth sits still and is at rest

Comments: Zechariah 1:11 The troop of Angels on horses who are behind the Captain—the Angel of the LORD—are the ones who are speaking. This angel troop is patrolling for something. They are not patrolling to see what humans are up to. They are looking for activity by the god of this world and his military and leaders. Jesus and Paul called them “princes.”

The angel patrol, seen by Zechariah, is part of the armies of heaven, a patrol led by the Captain of the Armies of Heaven—the Angel of the LORD—and was patrolling for enemy activity in the cosmic war for possession of planet earth. This is what the battle of Armageddon will be about—possession of planet earth. Both human and celestial armies will be clashing on the day Christ returns Revelation 19. It will be epic. Touchdown Jesus

The god of this world system—the Satan John 12:31,14:30,16:11, 1 Corinthians 2:6,8, 2 Corinthians 4:4, Ephesians 2:2 has armies. The heavenly angel troop, seen by Zechariah, was referencing the fact that they found no evidence of cosmic enemy (army) activity when they said all the earth was still and at rest.
