The hardest lesson to learn is the reality of our total dependence on God. True strength comes from radical submission to the presence of His Spirit in our lives. #biblejournaling #zechariah2

[tinagw1]

Be silent, O all flesh — “Let all in silent awe and reverence await the Lord‘s coming interposition in behalf of His people!” The address is both to the Gentile foes, who prided themselves on their power as if irresistible, and to the unbelieving Jews, who distrusted God‘s promises as incredible. Three reasons why they must be silent are implied: (1) they are but “flesh,” weak and ignorant; (2) He is Jehovah, all-wise and all-powerful; (3) He is already “raised up out of His place,” and who can stand before Him? he is raised up out of his holy habitation— that is, out of heaven to judge and avenge His people or, “out of His holy” temple, contemptible and incomplete as it looked then when Zechariah urged them to rebuild it. But the call to all to “be silent” is rather when God has come forth from heaven where so long He has dwelt unseen, and is about to inflict vengeance on the foe, before taking up His dwelling in Zion and the temple. God is now “silent” while the Gentile foe speaks arrogance against His people; but “our God shall come and no longer keep silence”; then in turn must all flesh “be silent” before Him. -Jamieson, Fausset & Brown
