**again**
As in [Zechariah 1:8-11](../../../kjv/zechariah/1/8-11); [Zechariah 1:8-11](../../../kjv/zechariah/1/8-11) the "man" of [Zechariah 2:1](../../../kjv/zechariah/2/1) [Zechariah 2:1](../../../kjv/zechariah/2/1) is "the angel that talked with me" of [Zechariah 1:3](../../../kjv/zechariah/1/3). The measuring-line (or reed) is used by Ezekiel [Ezekiel 40:3](../../../kjv/ezekiel/40/3); [Ezekiel 40:5](../../../kjv/ezekiel/40/5) as a symbol of preparation for rebuilding the city and temple in the kingdom-age. Here also it has that meaning, as the context ([Zechariah 2:4-13](../../../kjv/zechariah/2/4-13)) shows. The subject of the vision is the restoration of nation and city. In no sense has this prophecy been fulfilled. The order is:
(1) The Lord in glory in Jerusalem, [Zechariah 2:5](../../../kjv/zechariah/2/5) (cf. [Matthew 24:29](../../../kjv/matthew/24/29); [Matthew 24:30](../../../kjv/matthew/24/30))
(2) the restoration of Israel, [Zechariah 2:6](../../../kjv/zechariah/2/6);
(3) the judgment of Jehovah upon the nations, [Zechariah 2:8](../../../kjv/zechariah/2/8); [Zechariah 2:8](../../../kjv/zechariah/2/8) "after the glory" [Matthew 25:31](../../../kjv/matthew/25/31); [Matthew 25:32](../../../kjv/matthew/25/32)
(4) the full blessing of the earth in the kingdom, [Zechariah 2:10-13](../../../kjv/zechariah/2/10-13); [Zechariah 2:10-13](../../../kjv/zechariah/2/10-13) See "Kingdom (O.T.)" [Genesis 1:26](../../../kjv/genesis/1/26). *(See Scofield "*[Genesis 1:26](../../../kjv/genesis/1/26)*")* . "Israel," ; [Genesis 12:2](../../../kjv/genesis/12/2); [Romans 11:26](../../../kjv/romans/11/26).
