Zechariah 14:9

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Zechariah 14:9

(9) All the earth.—In accordance with the context, we can only understand this in the sense of “all the land” (Zechariah 13:8). But though this is undoubtedly the meaning of the prophet, there is no reason why his words may not have a wider application than he himself ever contemplated.Shall there be one Lord.—Better, Jehovah shall be One: i.e., “God shall be all in all.”And his name one.—i.e., and He alone shall be worshipped as God. read more

Zechariah 14:7 The Prophet is speaking of the last times the period after 'that day' when the 'feet' of the Lord 'shall stand upon the Mount of Olives'. Whether 'that day' refers to the occasion when our Lord made His public entry into Jerusalem, and, pausing on Olivet, 'wept' over the doomed city, or whether it refers to His future Second Coming, when He shall 'reign in Mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before His ancients gloriously,' one thing is certain, that after that day a period... read more

10. JUDGMENT OF THE HEATHEN ANDSANCTIFICATION OF JERUSALEM(Zechariah 14:1-21)In another apocalyptic vision the prophet beholds Jerusalem again beset by the heathen. But Jehovah Himself intervenes, appearing in person, and an earthquake breaks out at His feet. The heathen are smitten, as they stand, into moldering corpses. The remnant of them shall be converted to Jehovah and take part in the annual Feast of Booths. If any refuse they shall be punished with drought. But Jerusalem shall abide in... read more

CHAPTER 14 1. The last conflict and the manifestation of the Lord (Zechariah 14:1-5 ) 2. The complete salvation (Zechariah 14:6-11 ) 3. The punishment of the enemies (Zechariah 14:12-15 ) 4.

Post-millennialism has tried to find some explanation of this chapter, but has failed. The common view that the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans in the year 70 A.D. is the... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Zechariah 14:1-21

Nations Punished, Then Restored (vv. 1-15) This chapter goes back to consider the The Great Tribulation from another viewpoint. "Behold, the day of the Lord is coming (v.1). The day of the Lord stands in contrast to "man's day" (1 Corinthians 4:3 - JND). "Man's day" is the present time when God is allowing man to express his own opinions and to some extent have his own way. This day will culminate in man's bold challenge to God's authority by placing "the abomination of desolation" in the... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Zechariah 14:1-21

END THE AGE , OPEN THE MILLENNIUM It was stated that the first part of the book, chapters 1-8, referred chiefly, though not entirely, to the prophet’s own time. The basis of all the prophecies in that part had a historical relation to the period then present. They were uttered, to encourage the people in rebuilding the temple. And yet there is not one of them that did not take cognizance of the far future. The discourses of this, the second part, deal almost entirely with the future. It... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Zechariah 14:9

And the Lord shall be King over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name One. Here again surely the spiritual kingdom of the Lord Jesus is plainly marked. In the present hour, what endless varieties of sects, even among Christians, do we meet with. But, when this blessed period shall arrive, Jesus will be the one Universal Monarch, and his dominion from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the earth. Psalms 72:8 . And what is beautifully connected with this view... read more

CHAPTER XIV. One Lord. The apostles justly gave this title to Christ, John xiii. 14. He is possessed of all power, Matthew xxviii. 18., and Philippians ii. 10. Pastors are all subject to him.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Zechariah 14:8-15

8-15 Some consider that the progress of the gospel, beginning from Jerusalem, is referred to by the living waters flowing from that city. Neither shall the gospel and means of grace, nor the graces of the Spirit wrought in the hearts of believers by those means, ever fail, by reason either of the heat of persecution, or storms of temptation, or the blasts of any other affliction. Tremendous judgments appear to be foretold, to be sent upon those who should oppose the settlement of the Jews in... read more
