CHAPTER VI

The vision of the four chariots drawn by several sorts of

horses, 1-8.

The other vision in thus chapter may refer in its primary

sense to the establishment of the civil and religious polity of

the Jews under Joshua and Zerubbabel; but relates in a fuller

sense, to the Messiah, and to that spiritual kingdom of which

he was to be both king and high priest. In him all these types

and figures were verified; on him all the promises are yea and

amen, 9-15.

NOTES ON CHAP. VI
