Zechariah 14:9

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Zechariah 14:1-99

Zech 14 WHEN THE DAY of the Lord arrives, there will come the moment of supreme crisis for Jerusalem. God will allow the most determined adversaries to have their way for a brief time. It has ever been thus. When God begins to work, the adversary is stirred to put forth his power to the utmost but only to find his efforts over-ruled for ultimate good. Thus it was on that occasion that stands out above all else, as is recorded in Acts 4.26-4.28 . The actions of the adversary only help to... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Zechariah 14:1-11

The Judgment and the Redemption v. 1. Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, a great Day of Judgment, and thy spoil, that gained by the enemies in overcoming Jerusalem, shall be divided in the midst of thee, the enemies being at leisure and secure in the conquered city. v. 2. For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle, the enemies being recruited from all countries of the world; and the city shall be taken and the houses rifled and the women ravished, a picture of an apparent... read more

5. FINAL CONFLICT AND TRIUMPH OF GOD’S KINGDOMZechariah 14:0A. A great and at first successful Assault is made upon the Holy City (Zechariah 14:1-2). B.

A Stream of Salvation pours over the whole Land (vers.8–11). D. The Enemies are chastised (Zechariah 14:12-15). E. The Remnant of Them turn to the Lord (Zechariah 14:16-19). E.

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Zechariah 14:1-21

“At Evening Time It Shall Be Light” Zechariah 14:1-21 We can hardly doubt that in Zechariah 14:1-21 , Zechariah is anticipating the same events as Ezekiel describes in Ezekiel 38:1-23 ; Ezekiel 39:1-29 of his remarkable book. At first the attack of the enemies of God’s people will be entirely successful, then Jesus will appear to them and for them. There will be a literal fulfillment of Acts 1:11 and Isaiah 25:9-10 . It was when his brethren were in their greatest straits that Joseph made... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Zechariah 14:6-9

a Day of Testing Zechariah 13:1-9 ; Zechariah 14:1 This Fountain was opened, when the soldier pierced the Savior’s side. But it is not enough for God to forgive; He must deal drastically with the waywardness of his people. And so thorough would be the work, that parents would rather their son should die than assume for filthy lucre and without the divine call, the lucrative profession of a prophet. A township would arise against a man suspected of being a prophet, who, in his terror, would... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Zechariah 14:1-21

The prophet finally described the ultimate victories of the King, commencing with a description of the smiting of the Shepherd and the scattering of the sheep. Of this scattering a remnant would be loyal, and they would become the people of Jehovah. The prophet then described the ultimate day of the Lord, which would be ushered in by Jehovah coming to the Mount of Olives in the Person of His King. This advent would initiate the new processes of the settlement of the land, and the cleansing of... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Zechariah 14:1-21

The Triumph of YHWH (Zechariah 14:1-21 ). In this final chapter Zechariah visualises the final triumph of YHWH. The whole world will be subject to Him, and will worship Him (Zechariah 14:16). He will be King over all the earth (Zechariah 14:9). The idea is of the introduction of the everlasting kingdom. At this point we need to stop and consider what was in the mind of the prophet. He was not, of course, aware of the first coming of Jesus, apart from in the general terms of a coming Servant... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Zechariah 14:5-9

YHWH Will Come With His Holy Ones And Become King Over All The Earth (Zechariah 14:5-9 ). The progress of God’s purposes is now described. God will bring about a new work on behalf of His people, and will establish His Kingly Rule, and with Him will come a host of angels who are to be ‘ministering spirits to the heirs of salvation’ (Hebrews 1:14). Zechariah 14:5 ‘And YHWH my God will come (go), and all the holy ones with you.’ It is YHWH of Hosts Who is here, and His hosts are with Him. Just... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Zechariah 14:1-21

Zechariah 14. The Tribulation of the Struggle against Heathenism and the Glorious Future which may be Anticipated.— It is noteworthy that the writer considers the plundering of Jerusalem as a “ day of the Lord.” Zechariah 14:1 f. describes the affliction of Jerusalem up to the time of the Maccabæ an successes which are referred to in Zechariah 14:3. The sense of what follows is hopelessly obscure in MT and EV owing to the mispronunciation of the Heb. consonants in Zechariah 14:5. The thought... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Zechariah 14:9

The Lord; God, Father, Son, and Spirit, Shall be King; acknowledged to be, men shall confess, that as he only is, so he ought to be owned, only true God, and King of his church. Over all the earth; over the heathen. the Gentiles or Roman empire, as well as once over the Jewish state. In that day of deposing idols, and advancing the true God, all his churches shall east off idolatry, and agree in worshipping one God, in one way of spiritual worship and hearty obedience. read more
