Historically, the return of exiles from Babylon and other regions to Jerusalem was a significant event, fulfilling prophecies of restoration. This also foreshadows the New Testament concept of the spiritual temple, the Church, where believers from all nations are united in Christ (<a href="/ephesians/2-19.htm">Ephesians 2:19-22</a>).and you will know that the LORD of Hosts has sent Me to you This statement emphasizes the divine authority and mission of the speaker, often interpreted as a messianic figure or a prophetic voice. The title "LORD of Hosts" underscores God's sovereignty and power. The fulfillment of the prophecy serves as a sign of God's faithfulness and the legitimacy of the messenger, paralleling the New Testament affirmation of Jesus' divine mission (<a href="/john/17-3.htm">John 17:3</a>).This will happen if you diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God. The conditional nature of this promise highlights the importance of obedience to God's commands. In the historical context, the Israelites' return and the temple's reconstruction depended on their faithfulness to the covenant. This reflects the broader biblical theme that blessings and fulfillment of God's promises are often contingent upon human response (Deuteronomy 28). It also points to the New Testament teaching on the necessity of obedience in the life of a believer (<a href="/james/1-22.htm">James 1:22-25</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/z/zechariah.htm">Zechariah</a> A prophet who received visions and messages from God, encouraging the Israelites during the post-exilic period. 2. <a href="/topical/t/the_temple_of_the_lord.htm">The Temple of the LORD</a> The central place of worship for the Israelites, symbolizing God's presence among His people. 3. <a href="/topical/t/those_far_away.htm">Those Far Away</a> Likely referring to the exiles or Gentiles who would come to assist in the rebuilding of the temple, indicating a future inclusion of the nations. 4. <a href="/topical/t/the_lord_of_hosts.htm">The LORD of Hosts</a> A title for God emphasizing His sovereignty and command over the heavenly armies. 5. <a href="/topical/o/obedience_to_god.htm">Obedience to God</a> A recurring theme in the prophetic books, highlighting the importance of following God's commands for His promises to be fulfilled.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/t/the_universality_of_god's_plan.htm">The Universality of God's Plan</a> God's plan includes people from all nations, emphasizing the global scope of His redemptive work. <a href="/topical/t/the_importance_of_obedience.htm">The Importance of Obedience</a> The fulfillment of God's promises is often contingent upon our obedience, highlighting the need for faithful living. <a href="/topical/t/the_role_of_the_community_in_god's_work.htm">The Role of the Community in God's Work</a> Building the temple was a communal effort, reminding us of the importance of working together in the body of Christ. <a href="/topical/g/god's_sovereignty_and_assurance.htm">God's Sovereignty and Assurance</a> The phrase "you will know that the LORD of Hosts has sent Me to you" assures us of God's control and the certainty of His promises. <a href="/topical/t/the_future_glory_of_god's_dwelling.htm">The Future Glory of God's Dwelling</a> The rebuilding of the temple points to the ultimate fulfillment in Christ and the church, where God's presence dwells among His people.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_zechariah_6.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Zechariah 6</a> <a href="/q/main_themes_in_isaiah.htm">What are the main themes in the Book of Isaiah?</a> <a href="/q/evidence_of_priest's_role_in_zech._6_12-13.htm">Is there any archaeological or historical evidence supporting the priestly figure's role in building the temple in Zechariah 6:12-13?</a> <a href="/q/how_do_malachi_1_6-8_and_ot_laws_align.htm">How do Malachi 1:6-8's denunciations of flawed sacrifices align with other Old Testament laws on offerings?</a> <a href="/q/key_themes_in_zechariah's_prophecies.htm">What are the key themes in Zechariah's prophecies?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/zechariah/6.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 15. - They that are far off; οἱ μακράν, (Septuagint); comp. <a href="/ephesians/2-13.htm">Ephesians 2:13, 17</a>.
