ゼカリヤ書 14:3 JC

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Zechariah 14:1-7

God's providences concerning his church are here represented as strangely changing and strangely mixed. I. As strangely changing. Sometimes the tide runs high and strong against them, but presently it turns, and comes to be in favour of them; and God has, for wise and holy ends, set the one over against the other. 1. God here appears against Jerusalem; judgment begins at the house of God. When the day of the Lord comes (Zech. 14:1) Jerusalem must pass through the fire to be refined. God... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Zechariah 14:3

Then shall the Lord go forth ,.... Out of his place in heaven, either in person, or by the display of his power; that is, the Lord Jesus Christ; whose name is called the Word of God, and is the King of kings, and Lord of lords, described as a mighty warrior, Revelation 19:11 , &c.;: and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle : the Targum adds, "at the Red Sea"; when the Lord fought for, Israel against the Egyptians, Exodus 14:25 and afterwards against... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Zechariah 14:3

Verse 3 Zechariah here amplifies the favor of God, — that he will go forth openly, and avowedly carry on war against all the enemies of Jerusalem. It was not indeed a small mitigation of their evils, that a part of the Church would be saved. But the Prophet declares here what is still far better, — that when God afflicted his Church, and suffered it to be violently assailed by enemies, he would become at length the avenger of all the wrongs they might have done. We know how we are wounded and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Zechariah 14:1-3

A sketch on bad men. "And thy spoil shall be divided," etc. There are three facts here suggested concerning bad men. I. THAT THEY ARE CAPABLE OF PERPETRATING THE GREATEST ENORMITIES ON THEIR FELLOW MEN . "The city of Jerusalem shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished." In the account given by Josephus of the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans, we have a record of enormities at which we might well stand aghast. Christ said, concerning... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Zechariah 14:1-5

A signal revelation. "Behold, the day of the Lord cometh," etc. The "day of the Lord" here referred to seems that of the second coming of Christ. We say this partly because it is a tiny to be marked by a signal exercise of Jehovah's power against his enemies, "as in the day of battle" ( 2 Peter 1:16 ; 2 Thessalonians 2:8 ; Joshua 10:14 , Joshua 10:42 ); partly, also, because he is then to appear in person in the neighbourhood of Jerusalem ( Zechariah 14:4 ), as though in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Zechariah 14:3

Shall go forth. God is said to "go forth" when he manifests his power by delivering his people and punishing their enemies (comp. Isaiah 26:21 ; Isaiah 42:13 ; Micah 1:3 ). As when he fought in the day of battle. The Hebrew is in general terms, "as when he fighteth in a day of battle," or, "slaughter;" Septuagint, καθὼς ἡμέρα παρατάξεως αὐτοῦ ἐν ἡμέρα πολέμου , "as a day of his battle in a day of war;" Vulgate, sicut praeliatus est in die certaminis. There is... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Zechariah 14:3

The Lord shall go forth and shall fight - Jerome: “Is to be taken like that in Habakkuk, ‘Thou wentest forth for the salvation of Thy people, for salvation with Thine Anointed” Habakkuk 3:13, and in Micah, ‘For behold, the Lord cometh forth out of His place, and will come down and will tread upon the high places of the earth, and the mountains shall be molten under Him, and the valleys shall be cleft” Micah 1:3-4; and Isaiah also, “The Lord shall go forth as a mighty man; He shall stir up... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Zechariah 14:3

Zechariah 14:3. Then shall the Lord After he hath sufficiently punished Jerusalem and the rest of the Jewish nations; go forth Out of his holy place, as a warrior prepared for battle. This is spoken after the manner of men; and fight against those nations Which had taken and destroyed Jerusalem, and oppressed his people. As when he fought in the day of battle As in those days when he evidently fought for his people. The meaning is, that in after times God would discomfit and destroy... read more
