4. this young man —So Zechariah is called as being still a youth when prophetically inspired [GROTIUS]. Or, he is so called in respect to his ministry or service (compare Numbers 11:27 ; Joshua 1:1 ) [VATABLUS]. Naturally the "angel that talked with" Zechariah is desired to "speak to" him the further communications to be made from the Divine Being. towns without walls for the multitude . . . Cattle —So many shall be its inhabitants that all could not be contained within the walls, but shall spread out in the open country around ( Esther 9:19 ); and so secure shall they be as not to need to shelter themselves and their cattle behind walls. So hereafter Judea is to be "the land of unwalled villages" ( Esther 9:19- : ). Spiritually, now the Church has extended herself beyond the walls ( Ephesians 2:14 ; Ephesians 2:15 ) of Mosaic ordinances and has spread from cities to country villages, whose inhabitants gave their Latin name ( pagani ) to pagans, as being the last in parting with heathenism. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-5" class="com-number"
