Zechariah 3

Zechariah 3:4

He - Not Christ, but Gabriel.

Zechariah 3:5

Withstood me - God suffered the wicked counsels of Cambyses to take place awhile; but Daniel by his prayers, and the angel by his power, overcame him at last: and this very thing laid a foundation of the ruin of the Persian monarchies. Michael - Michael here is commonly supposed to mean Christ. I remained - To counter - work their designs against the people of God.

Zechariah 3:7

I set my face - I prostrated myself upon the earth. And I became dumb - Thro’ astonishment.

Zechariah 3:8

One like the sons of men - This likewise seems to have been Gabriel. I have retained no strength - Tho’ he appeared to him, and spake to him as a man, yet Daniel could not bear his presence, without some dread.
