Bible Question: What does this mean, "After glory He has sent me against the nations..." The NKJV reads "He sent Me after glory," |
Bible Answer: Hi wdc, In the margin of my Study Bible for Zechariah 2:8 it offers the optional translation of "the glory". With that in mind, you will find the answer in verse five. "For I, declares the Lord, "will be a wall of fire around her, and (I) will be *the glory in her midst." The readers of Zechariah before Christ would not know to capitalize the *Me of verse 8 as your NKJ version does. But now since we know the resurrected, glorifed Christ we know of whom it speaks. There is a definite connection between Zechariah 2:8, 4:9, and 6:15 when you follow your NKJ. If you capitalize the Servant the Branch as does your NKJ you can also relate to the Lord of host of Zechariah 3:10 and 1:3. Also 1:4 where it says, "But they did not listen or give heed to *Me,..."
