Pensamiento judío sobre Zacarías 4:6

One should not think that his livelihood depends on a particular means and that if these means fail, his livelihood will not come from a different means. Rather, trust in the Al-mighty, and know that all means are equal for Him. He can provide using whatever means and at any time and however He so wishes, as written "for with the L-ord there is no limitation to save with many or with few" (Shmuel I 14:6), and "But you must remember the L-ord your G-d, for it is He that gives you strength to make wealth, in order to establish His covenant which He swore to your forefathers, as it is this day." (Devarim 8:18), and "Not by might nor by power, but by My spirit, says the L-ord of Hosts." (Zecharia 4:6).

The prophecy continues: “My servant David shall be their prince forever.” This prophecy was not fulfilled in the era of the Second Beis HaMikdash, when the kings were the descendants of the Chashmonaim, who were kohanim.

Chaggai,²³See Chaggai 1:1, 2:2. and Zechariah,²⁴See Zechariah 4:6-10. but his rule was not perpetuated.
