John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Zechariah 14:16

And it shall come to pass ,.... After the plague on man and beast is over: that everyone that is left of all the nations which come against Jerusalem ; these are the remnant, according to the election of grace, who will have been among the enemies of Christ and his people, but preserved when others will be destroyed; and they will not only be frightened at the general destruction, but will be truly converted, and give glory to the God of heaven, Revelation 11:13 , these shall even... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Zechariah 14:17

And it shall be, that whosoever will not come up ,.... This, though it follows upon the former account, must be understood of times preceding the spiritual reign of Christ; for the rain of the Gospel will be upon all the earth in the latter day glory; and all nations will then serve and worship the King, the Lord of hosts, even those that remain after the general destruction of the antichristian states; besides, express mention is hereafter made of Egypt, which designs Rome, Revelation... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Zechariah 14:18

And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not ,.... To Jerusalem, the church of God; do not go thither to worship the Lord, attend his ordinances, and keep them in their purity; nor walk as becomes the people of God: by "the family of Egypt" are meant the Papists, so called for their tyranny, cruelty, and idolatry, Revelation 11:8 , that have no rain ; have not the pure word of God, and the ordinances thereof, only the traditions of men; yea, the doctrines of devils, and lies... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Zechariah 14:19

This shall be the punishment of Egypt ,.... Or "sin" F4 חטאת "peccatum", V. L. , as in the original text: rightly is the word rendered "punishment", as it is by the Targum: and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles ; which will be one and the same; they shall have no rain, or what answers to it; they shall all have a famine; or it will be different, Egypt shall be punished with a consumption of their flesh, and the other nations with want... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Zechariah 14:20

In that day ,.... After the destruction of antichrist and all the antichristian party, and a new state of things will take place, either the spiritual or personal reign of Christ: shall there be upon the bells of the horses, HOLINESS TO THE LORD ; as was upon the mitre of the high priest, Exodus 28:36 to which there seems to be an allusion here: or, "upon the trappings of the horses" F5 על מצלות "in phaleris", Tigurine version. , as the Targum renders it; and this intends... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Zechariah 14:21

Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the Lord of hosts ,.... Such will be the number of sacrifices and sacrificers, that the pots in the Lord's house will not be sufficient; wherefore every pot, in city or country, shall be sanctified and devoted to holy uses: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein ; this denotes, as before, the general holiness of the professors of religion in those times; and that there will be no... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Zechariah 14:8

Living waters shall go out - There shall be a wide diffusion of Divine knowledge, and of the plan of human salvation, which shall go out by apostles and preachers, first from Jerusalem, then to Syria, Asia Minor, Greece, Italy, the isles of the sea, Britain, etc. The former sea, and - the hinder sea - The Dead Sea and the Mediterranean; see on Joel 2:20 ; (note). These are metaphors. In summer - In time of drought; or in the countries where there was no knowledge of God, there... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Zechariah 14:9

And the Lord shall be King - When this universal diffusion of Divine knowledge shall take place. Wherever it goes, the laws of God shall be acknowledged; and, consequently, he shall be King over the whole earth. One Lord, and his name one - There shall be in those blessed days, only one religion, and one form of religion. There shall not be gods many, and lords many. All mankind shall be of one religion, the essence of which is, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, soul,... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Zechariah 14:10

All the land shall be turned as a plain - Or rather, "He shall encompass the whole land as a plain." He shall cast his defence all around it; from Geba, in Benjamin, north of Jerusalem, ( Joshua 21:17 ;), to Rimmon in Judah, to the south of Jerusalem, Joshua 15:32 . It shall be lifted up - The city shall be exalted. And inhabited in her place - Jerusalem, shall be rebuilt In the very place in which it originally stood. From Benjamin's gate, which was probably on the north side of... read more
