“Thus saith the Lord of hosts; If it be marvellous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days, should it also be marvellous in mine eyes? saith the Lord of hosts.”
Though this restoration seems impossible to the remnant of God's people, the LORD asks whether it is too difficult for Him. This rhetorical question challenges human incredulity in the face of divine promise, echoing Abraham's doubt when told he would father nations at advanced age. The framing acknowledges legitimate human limitations while asserting divine omnipotence and the certainty of God's covenantal commitment. This verse establishes that redemptive restoration rests not on human capability but on God's absolute power.
