What Does Zechariah 2:3 Mean?

Through these visions an angel has been speaking with Zechariah, explaining what he sees. Now that guide steps forward, and a second messenger hurries out to meet him. Heaven is in motion, and the reader senses that an important word is about to be delivered about the city being measured.

The scene shows a kind of urgency in heaven on Jerusalem's behalf. God's messengers do not wait idly; one runs to overtake another so the news reaches the prophet without delay. Behind the bustle is a tender truth: the affairs of a small, struggling people are the business of heaven, attended to with eager speed.
