Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then I turned, and lift up mine eyes, and looked,.... The prophet turned himself from looking upon the candlestick and olive branches, having had a full and clear understanding of them, and looked another way, and saw another vision:
and behold a flying roll, a volume or book flying in the air; it being usual for books, which were written on parchment, to be rolled up in the form of a cylinder; whence they were called rolls or volumes.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Hitherto all had been bright, full of the largeness of the gifts of God; of Godâs favor to His people ; the removal of their enemies ; the restoration and expansion and security of Godâs people and Church under His protection ; the acceptance of the present typical priesthood and the promise of Him, through whom there should be entire forgiveness : the abiding illumining of the Church by the Spirit of God . Yet there is a reverse side to all this, Godâs judgments on those who reject all His mercies. Augustine, de Civ. Del. 17:3. Ribera: âProphecies partly appertain to those in whose times the sacred writers prophesied, partly to the mysteries of Christ. And therefore it is the custom of the prophets, at one time to chastise vices and set forth punishments, at another to predict the mysteries of Christ and the Church.â
And I turned and - Or, âAgain I lifted up my eyesâ Gen 26:18; 2 Kings 1:11, 2 Kings 1:13; Jeremiah 18:14, having again sunk down in meditation on what he had seen, âand behold a roll flying;â as, to Ezekiel was shown âa hand with a roll of a book therein, and he spread it before me.â Ezekielâs roll also was âwritten within and without, and there was written, therein lamentation and mourning and woeâ Ezekiel 2:9-10. It was a wide unfolded roll, as is involved in its flying; but its âflight signified the very swift coming of punishment; its flying from heaven that the sentence came from the judgment-seat aboveâ (Ribera).

NOTES ON CHAP. V
Verse Zechariah 5:1. Behold a flying roll. — This was twenty cubits long, and ten cubits broad; the prophet saw it expanded, and flying. Itself was the catalogue of the crimes of the people, and the punishment threatened by the Lord. Some think the crimes were those of the Jews; others, those of the Chaldeans. The roll is mentioned in allusion to those large rolls on which the Jews write the Pentateuch. One now lying before me is one hundred and fifty-three feet long, by twenty-one inches wide, written on fine brown Basle goat-skin; some time since brought from Jerusalem, supposed to be four hundred years old.
