Zechariah 4:1

“And the angel that talked with me, etc.] (see <380109>Zechariah 1:9,13): came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep; into which he fell, after he had had the former vision; (see <270818>Daniel 8:18).”

“FIFTH VISION. The golden candlestick and the two olive trees. The temple shall be completed by the aid of God's Spirit. (Zac 4:1-14) waked me--The prophet was lying in a state of ecstatic slumber with astonishment at the previous vision. "Came again, and waked me," does not imply that the angel had departed and now returned, but is an idiom for "waked me again."”

“The angel came again - The angel (as before Zechariah 2:3) had gone forth to receive some fresh instruction from a higher angel or from God. And awakened me - As a man is awakened out of sleep. Zechariah, overwhelmed by the greatness of the visions, must have sunk down in a sort of stupor, as after the vision of the ram and he-goat, as Gabriel was speaking with him, Daniel says, “I was in a deep sleep on my face toward the ground, and he touched me and set me upright” Daniel 8:18; and again at the voice of the angel, who, after his three weeks’ fast Daniel 10:9, came to declare to him Daniel 10:21 the scripture of truth; and at the Transfiguration, “Peter and they that were with him were…”

“4:1-14 This vision affirms that through his Spirit, God would enable Zerubbabel and Jeshua to rebuild the Temple. 4:1 woke me: The series of visions (1:7–6:8) came to Zechariah in a single night. The prophet slept briefly before this fifth vision.”

“the angel: Zac 1:9, Zac 1:13, Zac 1:19, Zac 2:3, Zac 3:6, Zac 3:7 waked: Kg1 19:5-7; Jer 31:26; Dan 8:18, Dan 10:8-10; Luk 9:32, Luk 22:45, Luk 22:46 Zechariah 4:2”

“Zac 4:1. "And the angel that talked with me returned and waked me, like a man who is waked out of his sleep." After the prophet has seen four visions one after another, probably with very short intervals, and has heard the marvellous interpretation of them, he is so overpowered by the impression produced by what he has seen and heard, that he falls into a state of spiritual exhaustion resembling sleep, just as Peter and his companions were unable to keep awake at the transfiguration of Christ ( Luk 9:32). He has not only fallen back into the state of ordinary human consciousness, but his ordinary spiritual consciousness was so depressed that he resembled a man asleep, and had to be waked out…”
