In the Holy Book of Zechariah, chapter 6, the last verse is left unfinished, "and if you heard the sound of the God your God." Could you please explain what is meant in this verse?

The Holy Book of Zechariah 6:15 states, "Even those from afar shall come and build the temple of the Lord. Then you shall know that the Lord of hosts has sent Me to you. And this shall come to pass if you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God." This last part of the verse is not cut off but it is the condition on which the first part will be fulfilled. It can be read: 'if you  diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God, your own temple shall be rebuilt, and you shall know that the Lord has sent Me'. This prophecy is about the coming of the Messiah and how only those who hear the Lord and obey Him with a zealous mind will be joined to Him and will be saved.
