COMMENTARY - ENDNOTES
3253
The four winds, or horns that have scattered both houses. These gentile nations are Babylon, Medo-Persia,
Greece, and Rome.
3254
The four carpenters are symbolic of the Spirit sent to offset the abuse of the four winds of exile and the four
gentile nations that have abused Yisraelites in their exile.
3255
In the final restoration under Messiah.
3256
When Yahshua as YHWH reigns from Dawid’s throne.
3257
Efrayim will return from the way in which he went.
3258
Judah also will return.
3259
Yisrael is and always will be the apple of His eye. The nations who were used by YHWH to hold Yisrael in
captivity in their exile, will all be judged by Yahshua the King, for exceeding the correction appointed by YHWH.
3260
Yahshua is returning to establish the kingdom, but also to punish the nations of their exile.
3261
Here we have YHWH living in Jerusalem, being sent by YHWH. The duality of YHWH is seen here.
3262
We have Yisrael being joined with the nations, or Efrayim, as one people, in the days when Yahshua comes to
reign. Note that many nations will be joined to YHWH, as YHWH joins all nations into one people called “Yisrael.”
3263
Restoration of the capital, and Jewish-Yisrael.
3264
A historical figure foreshadowing the real High Priest over Yisrael, Yahshua the Messiah.
3265
Duality of YHWH. One rebukes s.a.tan, and the other chooses Jerusalem.
3266
Foreshadowing the conversion of the priesthood from dirty sinners to the righteousness of YHWH, by the work
of Messiah, as well as symbolizing the purity of the coming High Priest Yahshua, who does the cleansing for all the
other sons of Lewi.
3267
A promise to all the priests, if they become cleansed by Messiah.
3268
Other elders, or priests.
3269
YHWH, speaking directly to Yahshua, points the elders to Him, and identifies Him as the Branch, or the Tsemach.
A clear reference to the Messiah and High Priest being Yahshua by Name.
3270
The Stone is Messiah, and the seven eyes are symbolic of perfection, and perfect spiritual vision.
3271
Yisrael.
3272
Now the High priest called “Yahshua,” called “the Stone with perfect vision and character,” is further identified
as the One who will forgive the nation’s sin in a single day. We saw that occur in one day, the day He died on
Golgotha and proclaimed, “it is finished.”
3273
In the day that Yisrael and her leaders are cleansed, all the people trusting in YHWH through Yahoshua the High
Priest, will be considered neighbors, or equals, and all will be dwelling, or sitting under the fig tree, a symbol of
national Yisrael.
3274
He saw two olive trees, both being congregations of Yisrael, both representing the Father, both sending forth an
anointed witness, both producing an individual witness to prophecy and together both representing the whole people of
Yisrael.
3275
Additionally Revelation 11:4 makes mention of the same two olive trees seen by Zechariah here in chapter 4.
3276
Most believers still can’t answer this question.
3277
YHWH is astounded by most people’s inability to pick up on the two-house concept. This same blindness was seen in
Zachariah, even though he prophesied much about it.
3278
“The word” speaks a prophecy that was fulfilled when Zeruvavel finished the building of the Temple.
3279
Zechariah understands the rebuilding prophecy, but not the two olive trees as part of that rebuilding.
3280
Still puzzled.
3281
These two olive trees are the Two Houses (Isaiah 8:14, Jeremiah 31:31, Jeremiah 11:16-17), Two Nations (Ezekiel 35:10),
Two Chosen Families (Jeremiah 33:24), Two Backslidden Sisters (Ezekiel 23:2-4), Two Olive Branches (Zechariah 4:11-14,
Jeremiah 11:16-17), Two Sticks (Ezekiel 37:15-28), Two Witnesses (Revelation 11:3-4), Two Lamp Stands (Revelation 11:3),
Two Silver Trumpets for the whole Assembly (Numbers 10:2-3), Two Advents (Hebrews 9:28), Two Cherubim (Exodus
25:18-20), Two Spies from Efrayim and Judah (Numbers 13: 6, 8), Two Congregations (Rev. 1:20), based on the principle
that one lampstand equals one assembly.

3283
In Yahshua’s ministry, the mystery of Zechariah 4 is finally and fully revealed.
3284
The strength of sin is the Torah, and those who break it are under a curse.
3285
Symbolic of Judah and Efrayim.
3286
Taken to the four corners of the earth in their iniquity.
3287
Being judged by the heavens and earth.
3288
Or, where are the two houses headed because of their sins?
3289
To wickedly build the house of Jacob based on Babylonian customs, traditions, and vanities. Shinar is Babylon. Both
houses found to be full of sin, were scattered to the winds only to settle in spiritual Babylon, and its abominable customs.
3290
An alternative understanding of chapter 5 is that the ephah- measure is a missile with lead and 2 wings lifted up
between heaven and earth after being built in Babylon, or the world system in order to attack, or counter the other flying
missile of Torah seen in verses 1-4. This is further derived by translating the word woman in verse 7 as aysha, or fire,
rather than isha, or woman.
