START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION
(KJV) Zechariah 1:12
Then the angel of the Lord answered and said, O Lord of hosts, how long wilt thou not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which thou hast had indignation these threescore and ten years?
ANGEL OF THE LORD SAID / ZECHARIAH 1:12
The rider on the red horse is now identified as “the angel of the LORD.” (When this specific phrase is used in the Old Testament, it usually is referring to a physical appearance of Christ before He came into the world by birth). This angel was interceding (pleading a case for others) on behalf of Israel and Jerusalem to bring an end to the 70 years of God’s judgment on Jerusalem and the temple, which were both destroyed in 586 B.C. The rebuilding of the temple was finished in 516 B.C., exactly 70 years later. It is likely that the angel of the Lord is Christ (Exodus 23:20-21; Isaiah 63:9) because He is still the One who speaks in our defense (1 John 2:1).
