The Hebrew word for behold which follows this awareness that Zechariah experienced is heenay and it is a command to pay attention to what will follow. Zechariah still in his vision state lifts up his mind’s eyes and sees four horns. Keeping in mind that an angel who speaks to Zechariah’s mind is living outside of time and space in the spiritual world and he speaks to Zechariah’s spirit. It is therefore fitting to view these visions as having a sense of completeness in the future as well as the past. The Hebrew perfect tense means completed action regardless of whether the event occurred in the past, present or will occur in the future. It is important to this discussion that this is understood because the next vision discusses the completion of some events that are yet future to the time of Zechariah and our time (2013) as well. Without considering this Hebrew grammatical concept it becomes difficult to identify the horns and the smiths of this vision. One is then left with resorting to guessing to identify them. Therefore, Zechariah seeing the four horns and smiths together, in the perfect tense of prophetic vision everything appears to occur simultaneously

I'm enjoying the Zechariah Series!!! Thank you Daniel for this series on Zechariah. Im really learning a and remembering a great deal. It's very comforting to know that God has a plan in this world for His nation Israel. Understanding scripture brings consolation and hope for the future in this crazy Godless, Christless world. Come Jesus, Come!!!
