Commentary on Zechariah 1:4
God's call through former prophets: 'Be ye not as your fathers, unto whom the former prophets have cried, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Turn ye now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings.' The command to differ from fathers emphasizes the need for generational repentance—each generation must personally turn from sin. 'Evil ways' (lifestyle patterns) and 'evil doings' (specific acts) require comprehensive forsaking. The prophetic 'Thus saith the LORD' emphasizes divine authority. Repentance isn't suggestions but commands from the covenant Lord.
