The Pulpit Commentary - Zechariah 8:1-8

Assurance of favour. "Again the word of the Lord of hosts came to me." When warning is carried too far, it degenerates into threatening, and defeats its own end, producing despair instead of desire to escape. It is probably on this account that the solemn warning with which Zechariah 7:1-14 . concludes gives place, in this chapter, to an animating series of encouragements and promises. (For somewhat similar transitions, see Hebrews 6:9 ; Isaiah 1:18 , etc.) In the verses now... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Zechariah 8:1-23

The future glory of the Church. God speaks. Formerly stern rebuke; here sweet encouragement. Glowing picture of the good time coming. I. GOD 'S ABIDING LOVE TO HIS CHURCH . There are times when it would seem as if God had cast off his people. "Has God forgotten to be gracious?" Here is the answer. "I am jealous," etc. There is real, intense, and abiding attachment. Words of good cheer verified by facts. "I am returned," etc. II. GOD 'S GRACIOUS PURPOSE TO ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Zechariah 8:6

In these days; rather, in those days . If what is promised in Zechariah 8:3-5 seems incredible to those who shall see the fulfilment. The remnant. The returned Jews and their posterity ( Haggai 1:12-14 ). Should it also be marvellous in mine eyes? Certainly not. Nothing is impossible with God. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Zechariah 8:7

God promises to bring his dispersed people home again—a promise only yet partially fulfilled. My people. A title of honour ( Hosea 2:23 ). From the east country, and from the west country. Two regions are named, symbols of the whole world (comp. Psalms 50:1 ; Malachi 1:11 ). The return of the captives from Babylon was a prelude of the future restoration of the dispersed, when all Israel shall be saved ( Romans 11:26 ). (See a similar promise, Isaiah 43:5 , Isaiah 43:6 ; comp. ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Zechariah 8:7-8

A twofold Divine restoration. "Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Behold, I will save my people ['out of the land of the rising and the land of the setting' (Keil)] from the cast country, and from the west country; and I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness." "The east and the west are here put as parts for the whole. The meaning is, 'I will deliver my people from regions whither they... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Zechariah 8:8

In the midst of Jerusalem. As the centre of worship (see Zechariah 2:4 , and note there). In truth and in righteousness. The words belong to both parts of the preceding clause: God will deal truly and righteously with them, but they must deal truly and righteously with him. If they are faithful to their obligations, God would be unto them all that he had promised to be. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Zechariah 8:6

If it should be marvelous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in those - (not these) days, shall it be marvelous in Mine eyes also? saith the Lord of hosts Man’s anticipations, by reason of his imperfections and the chequered character of earthly things, are always disappointing. God’s doings, by reason of His infinite greatness and goodness, are always beyond our anticipations, past all belief. It is their very greatness which staggers us. It is not then merely that the temporal promises... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Zechariah 8:7

I will save My people from the East country and from the West country - Dionysius: “that is, the whole world; for Israel had been scattered in every part of the world.” God had said to Israel, “I will bring thy seed from the east and gather thee from the west; I will say to the north, Give up, and to the south, Keep not back” Isaiah 43:5-6. The two tribes had been carried to Babylon and had been dispersed, or had been allowed to migrate to the various provinces of the Babylonian or Persian... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Zechariah 8:8

They shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem - Not the literal Jerusalem; for this would not contain the Jews from all quarters of the world, whom, as they multiplied, the whole land could not contain; but the promised Jerusalem, the Jerusalem, which “should be inhabited as towns without walls,” to which the Lord should be a wall of fire round about.And they shall be My people - He promises this as to those who were already His people; “I will save My people - and will bring them, and they shall... read more
