My conjecture which differs from my lecturer is that the engraving is the new name that’s mentioned a few times in Revelation (i.e. Revelation 3:12), but I am not set on that view. But continuing, we see that God promises to remove the iniquity in one day (Christ's Sacrifice), and gives the...

These eyes in Revelation are identified as the seven Spirits of God. Although, I don’t know exactly what the seven Spirits of God are. I made a personal note to do a topical study on that. I’m not sure what the engraving could be, my lecturer didn't seem to know either, he said it could have to...

Sure, for the final part of the vision, we see one of the more well-known verses of Zechariah talking about the Branch. When we parallel this verse to Isaiah 11:1 and Jeremiah 23:5, this Branch clearly appears to be Christ. I think the stone is another example of Christ as the Rock (ex. 1...

Yes, I believe so, the Lord of Hosts is one of the many titles of God that is spread throughout multiple parts of the Bible. It is a title that reflects the military role of God as the commander of armies (which isn't only just limited to angelic armies). One of the most famous examples of this...

Hopefully I'm not interrupting your train of thought.

The local fulfillment for the first part seems straight forward: God shows Zechariah that He is willing to approve of Joshua as His first High Priest of the Second Temple, as long as he follows His ways. But it seems like there’s more to it.

I agree, to offer a little historical background, the Joshua mentioned here was the High Priest at the time of the reconstruction of the Temple after the return from the exile in Babylon (Haggai 1:14), and Zechariah is contemporary to this event.

We are at the fourth vision of Zechariah, which is Chapter 3.

Good Afternoon, Christian! I've been a little tired, but I am well. How have you been?

It's alright, there's no need to apologize. Good night, and God bless.

Okay, maybe we can figure it out more clearly when we both have more time.

Sounds good, I'm looking forward to it! Good night, Christian.

Okay, if you have to go early I can continue pasting my notes for the section we're currently on so you can see them if you want. What about weekends?

Well I'm in EST, and usually what works for me is anytime after around 4:00 or 5:00 in the afternoon. What about you?

Sounds great, I'm glad that my notes are helping your own. I like it, the title seems fitting.

That's a summary of what I had for Chapter 2, what do you think?

The third and final part of the vision (Zechariah 2:10-13) is particularly interesting since we see an overlooked verse which shows that Gentiles will be joined to God and become His people. (Zechariah 2:11) The rest of the vision seems to be another promise of God reassuring that in His return...

Then God offers another promise that the nations which had besieged them will fall.

The second part of the vision (Zechariah 2:6-9) seems to be God calling the Jews to come out of Babylon who had stayed behind during the migration back to Jerusalem (Ezra 1:4-5), or it could be a figurative expression for God calling apostate Jews to leave the ways of Babylon and follow Him.

From what I understand, according to Ezekiel 10-11, the Shekinah glory left shortly before the destruction of Solomon’s Temple, and has not yet returned. Although if you come to a different conclusion about that, please let me know, I'd be very curious to hear a different view.
