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 14:2

How this shall come to pass is now shown. For I will gather all nations. God uses the Gentile nations as his instruments in this trial of his people; they are the fires by which he refines and purifies his elect ( Joel 3:2 , Joel 3:9-11 ). The city shall be taken. The outrages offered to the captive city are such as are indicated in the case of Babylon ( Isaiah 13:16 ; comp. Lamentations 5:11 , etc.). Half of the city. The term "half" must not be pressed, as if it contradicted... 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.

The Pulpit Commentary - Zechariah 14:4

His feet shall stand. By this theophany he shall come to the aid of his people; nature shall do his bidding, owning the presence of its Maker. Upon the Mount of Olives … on the east. This mount lay on the east of Jerusalem, from which it was separated by the deep valley of the Kidron, rising to a height of some six hundred feet, and intercepting the view of the wilderness of Judaea and the Jordan ghor. The geographical detail is added in the text to indicate the line of escape which shall... read more

God in relation to a suffering world. "And his feet shall stand in that day upon the Mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the cast, and the Mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley," etc. The men in Jerusalem were in great suffering and imminent peril, and here is a figurative representation of the Almighty in relation to them. I. HE OBSERVES THEIR TERRIBLE CONDITION . "And his feet... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Zechariah 14:2

I Will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle - This is a feature which belongs to the end. It had been dwelt upon by Joel; Joel 3:2-9, Joel 3:11; Ezekiel spoke of the “many nations” Ezekiel 38:6, Ezekiel 38:15, Ezekiel 38:22 which should come under Gog. John foretells of an universal strife at the end, when “The spirits of devils, working miracles, go forth unto the king; of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty” Revelation... read more

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
