Zechariah 2:11

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Zechariah 2:10-12

Zechariah 2:10-12. Sing and rejoice, &c. Here the prophet calls the daughter of Zion, or the whole Jewish nation, being redeemed and restored, to rejoice in the goodness showed them, and to proclaim the praises of Him who showed it. For lo, I come, &c. To execute judgments on thine adversaries, and to complete thy deliverance and salvation. And I will dwell in the midst of thee To defend and bless thee. This was fulfilled in part to the Jews, but more fully to the gospel church.... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Zechariah 2:1-13

Encouragement to the builders (1:7-2:13)In the first vision some mounted patrol officers have just returned from a tour of duty and report to a rider on a red horse who is standing among some trees (7-10). The patrol officers report that throughout the empire all is calm and peaceful (11).This report may be good news for the Persians but it is not for the Jews, who have now been in bondage to foreign overlords for more than seventy years. They long for freedom and pray for God’s mercy (12-13).... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Zechariah 2:11

"And many nations shall join themselves to Jehovah in that day, and shall be my people; and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me unto thee."The Redeemer himself speaks here; and his words have come to pass on a scale so fantastic that, even if Zechariah had fully understood the implications of his prophecy, he could scarcely have believed it."In that day ..." is a phrase often associated in the prophecies with "the times of the Messiah." Such... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Zechariah 2:10-11

Zechariah 2:10-11.— Hitherto nothing has appeared to indicate the angel to be more than what the name usually imports, an ordinary messenger of God's will, and the agent of his providence. Nor will it, I think, appear otherwise from what follows in there two verses, if we attend to the proper distinction between what the angel speaks in his own person, and what he delivers as the immediate words of God. He first begins to exhort in his own person, "Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Sion, for... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Zechariah 2:11

Zechariah 2:11. And many nations, &c.— We do not know of any cities, provinces, or nations, which have forsaken their own religion to embrace that of the Jews; but we see a great part of the world joining themselves to, and adoring the Lord Jesus Christ. The Christian religion is extending itself universally, as well through the old as the new world. The next verse must unquestionably refer to the future restoration of the Jews; and when the prophet says in the 13th, Be silent, &c. he... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Zechariah 2:11

11. many nations . . . joined to the Lord in that day—The result of the Jews' exile in Babylon was that, at their subsequent return, through the diffusion of knowledge of their religion, many Gentiles became proselytes, worshipping in the court of the Gentiles ( :-). Cyrus, Darius, Alexander, Ptolemy Philadelphus, Augustus, and Tiberius, paid respect to the temple by sending offerings [GROTIUS]. But all this is but a shadow of the future conversion of the Gentiles which shall result from... read more

2. The oracle about enemy destruction and Israelite blessing 2:6-13This message brings out the practical implications of the two visions just related. It is a section of poetry in the midst of the prose visions. The prophet now spoke for the Lord, first to the Jews still in exile (Zechariah 2:6-9) and then to the Jews in Jerusalem (Zechariah 2:10-13). The first part deals with the overthrow of enemies and so connects with the second vision. The second part declares Yahweh’s sovereignty in Zion... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Zechariah 2:10-11

The Israelites in Jerusalem and elsewhere were to rejoice because the Lord promised to intervene for them and to dwell among them. His return to Jerusalem would prompt the nations to come there and acknowledge Him as sovereign (cf. Psalms 47:9; Psalms 96:1; Psalms 97:1; Psalms 98:4). Many nations would turn to the Lord in that day (the eschatological day of the Lord, cf. ch. 14; Isaiah 2:12-21; Isaiah 24-27; Joel 1:15; Joel 2:28 to Joel 3:21; Amos 5:18-20; Amos 9:11-15; Zeph.) and become part... read more
