ゼカリヤ書 7:14 JCB

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Zechariah 7:1-99

Zech 7 IN THE FIRST verse of chapter 7, we find another date given; almost two years later than that of the visions just recorded, and the prophecies of Haggai. These fresh prophecies were occasioned by the arrival of certain men with questions as to the observance of fasts, and we notice that we pass from the record of visions to a series of plain declarations of God's message. We now find repeated nor, 'I lifted up mine eyes', but rather, 'The word of the Lord came'. The question raised by... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Zechariah 7:1-14

the Penalty of Injustice and Cruelty Zechariah 7:1-14 During their captivity the Jews observed four feasts. That of the 10th month recalled the first enclosure of Jerusalem by the enemies’ lines; of the 4th the capture of the city; of the 5th the destruction by fire of the Temple; of the 7th the murder of Gedaliah. The national life was depressed by this constant memory of disaster. It seemed incongruous to act thus, when the Holy City was rising from the dust. Surely the lamentations which... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Zechariah 7:1-14

The third message of Zechariah was uttered nearly two years later. It was a fourfold answer to an inquiry made by the people concerning the necessity for observing certain fasts. The history of these fasts is contained in2 Kings 25:1-30; 2 Kings 25:1-30. One was established in the tenth month, in connection with the siege of the city. The next, which occurred in the fourth month, commemorated the taking of the city. The third, held in the fifth month, was in memory of the burning of the city,... read more

Further Prophecies of Zechariah (Zechariah 7:1 to Zechariah 8:23 ) These prophecies occur approximately two years after the previous ones demonstrating that Zechariah’s ministry continued. It would appear that the Temple is at least partly built and functioning. ANALYSIS OF THE SECOND SECTION. This second section (Zechariah 7:1 to Zechariah 8:23) divides up as follows: · Introduction (Zechariah 7:1-3). · ‘Then came the word of the LORD of Hosts to me saying ---’ (Zechariah 7:4). · ‘And the... read more

God Calls The People To Righteous Living Rather Than Religious Zeal and Warns of the Consequences of Refusal (Zechariah 7:8-14 ). What Zechariah is saying is now expressed in more depth. Zechariah 7:8-10 ‘And the word of YHWH came to Zechariah saying, “Thus has YHWH of Hosts spoken, saying ‘Give true justice, and show mercy and compassion every man to his brother. And do not oppress the widow, nor the fatherless, nor the stranger, nor the poor. And let none of you imagine evil against his... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Zechariah 7:14

But I scattered them; when they had so provoked me, I cast them out of their habitations, pursued them with the tempest of wrath that scattered them as I threatened. With a whirlwind; irresistibly, suddenly, and tearing all into pieces, as whirlwinds do. Among all the nations; all the heathen, that hated them and their ways. Whom they know not; where they could have no pity, nor any relief, nor common commerce; but as barbarous usage as fierce and unintelligible enemies can give them. Thus the... read more
