Zechariah 14:9

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Zechariah 14:9

And the Lord shall be king over all the earth - Such should be the influence of the living water, that is, of the Spirit of God. God who has ever reigned and will reign, “a great King over all the earth” Psalms 47:3, Psalms 47:8, shall be owned by His creatures, as what He is.There shall be one Lord - More exactly, “The Lord shall be One, and His Name One.” He had before prophesied, “I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land” Zechariah 13:2. The Church being thus cleansed, no other... read more

Zechariah 14:8-9.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Zechariah 14:1-21

The Messiah’s kingdom (14:1-21)In the final section of his book, Zechariah outlines briefly the worldwide triumph of the Messiah. Since those for whom he writes are familiar only with the region around Palestine, he limits the geographical details to that area. Other pictures are likewise taken from the way of life familiar to the Jews.The scene opens with the enemies of God mistakenly thinking that at last they have conquered his people (Jerusalem). Confident that they have achieved victory,... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Zechariah 14:9

"And Jehovah shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall Jehovah be one, and his name one."The triumph of God through Christ in the eradication of the gross paganism that corrupted ancient peoples is stated here. "The influence of Deuteronomy 6:4 is seen here, although, `his name one,' does not appear there in so many words."[22] "The scope of this verse is universal. It asserts that Yahweh shall be king over, not merely the whole of Palestine, but all the earth."[23] There are many, of... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Zechariah 14:9

Zechariah 14:9. And the Lord shall be king, &c.— Upon this grand conversion and restoration of the Jews, and coming-in of the fulness of the Gentiles, God shall be glorified with one mind and one mouth over all the earth. There shall be one Lord, and his name shall be one. A name was so peculiar an adjunct to a local tutelary deity, that the one supreme God had no name or title of distinction of the local kind. Thus Zechariah, evidently alluding to these notions, when he prophesies of the... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Zechariah 14:9

9. king over all . . . earth— Isaiah 54:5 implies that this is to be the consequence of Israel being again recognized by God as His own people (Daniel 2:44; Revelation 11:15). one Lord . . . name one—Not that He is not so already, but He shall then be recognized by all unanimously as "One." Now there are "gods many and lords many." Then Jehovah alone shall be worshipped. The manifestation of the unity of the Godhead shall be simultaneous with that of the unity of the Church. Believers are one... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Zechariah 14:9

In that day Yahweh would rule over the whole earth. He would be the only king; there would be no others. His name would be number one in the earth; there will be no other so-called gods (cf. Deuteronomy 6:4-5). This verse refers to Christ’s millennial kingdom (cf. Psalms 2; Daniel 2:44-45; Daniel 7:27; Matthew 6:9-10)."Israelites for generations had been singing ’The Lord reigns’ (Psalms 93; Psalms 97; Psalms 99), but it had been a declaration of faith. Once ’that day’ comes He will be seen to... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Zechariah 14:1-21

The Judgment of the Heathen. Exaltation of JerusalemThis chapter has the appearance of a late work. It has all the general characteristics of the style of literature known to students in the book of Enoch, and popular in the Jewish church about the beginning of the Christian era. The terrible punishment of the heathen (Zechariah 14:12), and the ceremonial purity of Jerusalem (Zechariah 14:20-21), are typical of the narrower phases of late Judaism.1, 2. Jerusalem again assaulted and taken.3-7.... read more
