Zechariah 4:3-10

When Jesus returns, mans' greed, control and power, will be done away with. All mankind, through Christ Jesus, can have relationship with the Triune Godhead and through Him the playing field is leveled. Jesus came with shouts of grace, grace to the people of earth.

Jesus is the plumb line, where heaven and earth meet. His blood shed for mankind levels the playing  field.

God is an equal opportunity employer of good. For now we are to be about our Father’s work building up the House of God, the Body of Christ.

Zerubbabel was a  descendant of King David, as well as the governor of Judah who oversaw the rebuilding of the temple. Divine power—not human power—will enable them to overcome the opposition to rebuilding the temple. Throughout the old testament, God’s Spirit gives divine empowerment to the individuals God selects. The mountain symbolizes all the challenges that the community will face as they attempt to complete the work that God commanded. The vision serves to reassure them that Yahweh is on their side and will help them overcome the obstacles. Yahweh’s Spirit—not human might—was responsible for completing the temple project. The Hebrew term used here seems to refer to a string with a weight attached to the end. Ancients used tools like plumb lines to determine whether a wall was straight. Faithlife Bible.

The rebuilding of the temple, which had at last begun in earnest, would be accomplished not by human strength or resources, but by the power of God’s Spirit. The setting of the capstone would mark the completion of the project. The words Grace, grace to it may be understood as a prayer for God’s favor, or as a cry of admiration over the grace and beauty of the newly built temple. The promise concerning Zerubbabel is significant; the task that he began he would also complete. The fact that these eyes will rejoice at the plumb line in Zerubbabel’s hand suggests the delight of God over the rebuilding of the temple.

There is nothing wrong with a small work. Little can indeed be much if God is in it. NKJ Bible.

Zechariah 4:3–10 (NKJV)

³ Two olive trees are by it, one at the right of the bowl and the other at its left.” ⁴ So I answered and spoke to the angel who talked with me, saying, “What are these, my lord?”

⁵ Then the angel who talked with me answered and said to me, “Do you not know what these are?”

And I said, “No, my lord.”

⁶ So he answered and said to me:

“This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel:

‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’

Says the Lord of hosts.

⁷ ‘Who are you, O great mountain?

Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain!

And he shall bring forth the capstone

With shouts of “Grace, grace to it!” ’ ”

⁸ Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

⁹ “The hands of Zerubbabel

Have laid the foundation of this temple;

His hands shall also finish it.

Then you will know

That the Lord of hosts has sent Me to you.

¹⁰ For who has despised the day of small things?

For these seven rejoice to see

The plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel.

They are the eyes of the Lord,

Which scan to and fro throughout the whole earth.”

2 Chronicles 16:9 (NKJV)

⁹ For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him. In this you have done foolishly; therefore from now on you shall have wars.”
