Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin. To see the plumb line in Zerubbabel's hand. God was telling Zechariah, to not worry about what folks may think. That in any situation, he would be there to help build it back up.
He said, small beginnings can bring down mountains. And what are you, mighty mountain?
Before Zerubbabel, you will become level ground. And then, then he will bring out the capstone to the shouts of 'God bless it'.
