A Vision of the Flying Scroll

1 Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a flying roll.
2 And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying roll; the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits.
3 Then said he unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off as on this side according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off as on that side according to it.
4 I will bring it forth, saith the LORD of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name: and it shall remain in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof.
5 Then the angel that talked with me went forth, and said unto me, Lift up now thine eyes, and see what is this that goeth forth.
6 And I said, What is it? And he said, This is an ephah that goeth forth. He said moreover, This is their resemblance through all the earth.
7 And, behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and this is a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah.
8 And he said, This is wickedness. And he cast it into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof.
9 Then lifted I up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came out two women, and the wind was in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heaven.
10 Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Whither do these bear the ephah?
11 And he said unto me, To build it an house in the land of Shinar: and it shall be established, and set there upon her own base.

Commentary

Zechariah 5 is a chapter that speaks of a vision that the prophet Zechariah had. In this vision, he sees a flying scroll that is thirty feet long and fifteen feet wide. This scroll is a symbol of the curse that God has placed on the land of Israel for their disobedience. The scroll is to be taken to the four corners of the land, signifying that the curse will affect all of the people of Israel. The chapter then goes on to describe another vision that Zechariah has. This time, he sees a woman in a basket. This woman is a symbol of wickedness and sin, and she is to be taken away to Babylon. This is a sign that God will punish the people of Israel for their wickedness and disobedience. Finally, the chapter ends with a promise from God that He will restore the people of Israel and bring them back to the land. This is a reminder that God is faithful and will keep His promises. Overall, Zechariah 5 is a chapter that speaks of God's judgment and His faithfulness. It is a reminder that God will punish those who disobey Him, but He will also restore those who repent and turn to Him. It is a reminder that God is faithful and will keep His promises.
