Zechariah 5:9 - Additional Comments

Where are they carrying the basket? God will cause this evil, materialistic spirit to be returned to its starting-place: Babylon. There it will eventually be destroyed.
When it is ready, the basket will be set there on its base: The word for base has the thought of a pedestal for an idol. The storks set the idol of materialism where it belongs.
Two women - they had wings like the wings of a stork: This means that the women in Zechariahision had big wings, strong enough to take this basket back to Babylon.
