撒迦利亞書 14:3-4 CUNPTS

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 Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Zechariah 14:4

And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives ,.... Where he often was in the days of his flesh, and from whence he ascended to heaven, Luke 21:37 but here he did not appear at the time of the destruction of Jerusalem; wherefore this must refer to a time to come; and seeing it is certain that he will stand in the latter day on the earth, at the time of the resurrection, and will come down from heaven in like manner as he went up; it seems very probable that he will descend... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Zechariah 14:3

Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations - Against the Romans, by means of the northern nations; who shall destroy the whole empire of this once mistress of the world. But this is an obscure place. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Zechariah 14:4

And his feet shall stand - He shall appear in full possession of the place, as a mighty conqueror. And the mount of Olives shall cleave - God shall display his miraculous power as fully in the final restoration of the Jews, as he did when he divided the Red Sea that their forefathers might pass through dry-shod. Some refer this to the destruction of the city by the Romans. It was on the mount of Olives that Titus posted his army to batter Jerusalem. Here the tenth legion that came to him... 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

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Zechariah 14:4

Verse 4 He continues the same subject, that God’s power would be then conspicuous in putting enemies to flight. He indeed illustrates here his discourse by figurative expressions, as though he wished to bring the Jews to see the scene itself; for the object of the personification is no other but that the faithful might set God before them as it were in a visible form; and thus he confirms their faith, as indeed it was necessary; for as we are dull and entangled in earthly thoughts, our minds... 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
