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

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Zechariah 14:1-21

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

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Zechariah 14:1-21

CHAPTER 14 1. The last conflict and the manifestation of the Lord (Zechariah 14:1-5 ) 2. The complete salvation (Zechariah 14:6-11 ) 3. The punishment of the enemies (Zechariah 14:12-15 ) 4. The conversion of the world (Zechariah 14:16-19 ) 5. The holiness of Jerusalem (Zechariah 14:20-21 ) Zechariah 14:1-5 . Post-millennialism has tried to find some explanation of this chapter, but has failed. The common view that the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans in the year 70 A.D. is the... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Zechariah 14:1-21

Nations Punished, Then Restored (vv. 1-15) This chapter goes back to consider the The Great Tribulation from another viewpoint. "Behold, the day of the Lord is coming (v.1). The day of the Lord stands in contrast to "man's day" (1 Corinthians 4:3 - JND). "Man's day" is the present time when God is allowing man to express his own opinions and to some extent have his own way. This day will culminate in man's bold challenge to God's authority by placing "the abomination of desolation" in the... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Zechariah 14:1-21

END THE AGE , OPEN THE MILLENNIUM It was stated that the first part of the book, chapters 1-8, referred chiefly, though not entirely, to the prophet’s own time. The basis of all the prophecies in that part had a historical relation to the period then present. They were uttered, to encourage the people in rebuilding the temple. And yet there is not one of them that did not take cognizance of the far future. The discourses of this, the second part, deal almost entirely with the future. It... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Zechariah 14:16-19

And it shall come to pass, that everyone that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles. 17 And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, even upon them shall be no Revelation 18:0 And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Zechariah 14:16-21

16-21 As it is impossible for all nations literally to come to Jerusalem once a year, to keep a feast, it is evident that a figurative meaning must here be applied. Gospel worship is represented by the keeping of the feast of tabernacles. Every day of a Christian's life is a day of the feast of tabernacles; every Lord's day especially is the great day of the feast; therefore every day let us worship the Lord of hosts, and keep every Lord's day with peculiar solemnity. It is just for God to... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Zechariah 14:1-99

Zech 14 WHEN THE DAY of the Lord arrives, there will come the moment of supreme crisis for Jerusalem. God will allow the most determined adversaries to have their way for a brief time. It has ever been thus. When God begins to work, the adversary is stirred to put forth his power to the utmost but only to find his efforts over-ruled for ultimate good. Thus it was on that occasion that stands out above all else, as is recorded in Acts 4.26-4.28 . The actions of the adversary only help to... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Zechariah 14:12-21

The Remnant of the Nations Saved v. 12. And this shall be the plague, the special infliction, wherewith the Lord will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem, those who oppose the Church and its work:. Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, so that they would rot away in a living death, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth, all these punishments making them unfit for further attacks... read more
