Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Zechariah 14:12
"And this shall be the plague wherewith Jehovah will smite all the peoples that have warred against Jerusalem: their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their sockets, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth."This horrible plague was prophesied as the fate of all who "warred against Jerusalem," these being the enemies of God. The New Testament does nothing to soften the dreadful picture of what shall eventually befall all... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Zechariah 14:12
12. Punishment on the foe, the last Antichristian confederacy (Isaiah 59:18; Isaiah 66:24; Ezekiel 38:1-39; Revelation 19:17-21). A living death: the corruption (Isaiah 66:24- :) of death combined in ghastly union with the conscious sensibility of life. Sin will be felt by the sinner in all its loathsomeness, inseparably clinging to him as a festering, putrid body. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Zechariah 14:12
The Lord would smite the nations that warred against Jerusalem (Zechariah 14:1-3) with a plague that would cause the people’s flesh to rot off them wherever they might be. They would not be able to see or speak (cf. Isaiah 37:36). One wonders if nuclear warfare may be involved. 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

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Zechariah 14:12-13
(12, 13) In the description of the plague, and confusion, and rout with which the hostile nations are to be smitten, the prophet had in mind several historical events: e.g., Exodus 9:14; Psalms 37:36; 1 Samuel 5:9; 1 Samuel 14:20; Isaiah 22:5. read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Zechariah 14:1-21
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

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
