ゼカリヤ書 9:12 JCB

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Zechariah 9:9-17

Zion's King of Peace and his Salvation v. 9. Rejoice greatly, 0 daughter of Zion! the members of the Lord's people; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem! with a shout of gladness. Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, the Messiah Himself appearing in her midst; He is just, possessing righteousness as the first requisite of a true ruler, and having salvation, bearing the salvation which the Lord had planned, lowly, and riding upon an ass and upon a colt, the foal of an ass. This passage is rightly... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Zechariah 9:9-17

a Lowly Deliverer Brings Peace Zechariah 9:9-17 ; Zechariah 10:1-12 Jesus must be King first, then Savior. He is lowly; His steed is not the richly caparisoned warhorse, but the humble ass; He needs no weapon to overthrow His foes, because as Priest He speaks peace. The peasantry had taken shelter in the rock hewn mountain cisterns; but they might cherish hope, because they had been redeemed by the blood of the covenant, and God would see to it that that redemption was made effective.... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Zechariah 9:1-17

Here begins the second division of the prophecy in which there are two messages. The first the prophet described as "the burden of the word of the Lord upon the land of Hadrach"; it deals with the rejection of the anointed King. In the first movement the prophet announced the coming of the King. He foretold the preservation of the city of Jerusalem in the days when Syria, Phoenicia, and Philistia would be overcome by the enemy, who, acting under Jehovah, would thus execute His judgments on... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Zechariah 9:12

PRISONERS OF HOPE‘Turn you to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope: even to day do I declare that I will render double unto thee.’ Zechariah 9:12 The prophet is speaking to those who are emphatically called ‘Christ’s prisoners,’ those for whom, by His kingly power, He has gone up on high, and given to them repentance, that He might make them spiritual captives. I. No words could be framed more appropriate, or expressive of souls under spiritual distress, than those which the prophet here... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Zechariah 9:11-17

This Future Deliverance and Prosperity is Promised Even to the Returning Exiles (Zechariah 9:11 to Zechariah 10:1 ). This promise of hope is already available in part. The exiles can come out of their ‘prisons’ because of the blood of the covenant. The promises of God at Sinai still hold for those who obey Him. And they will become effective against all men. Zechariah 9:11 ‘As for you also, because of the blood of your covenant, I have sent forth your prisoners out of the pit in which there... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Zechariah 9:11-13

Zechariah 9:11-1 Chronicles : . A fragment, mutilated at the beginning, apparently slightly earlier than Zechariah 9:9 f., from which it differs in its bellicose tone. The Jewish nation is told that the Lord is now releasing its members confined in the waterless dungeon, i.e. in heathen districts where they are cut off from worship at Jerusalem ( cf. Psalms 63:1; Psalms 68:6); these must return to the stronghold of Judah, where they will be safe. For once again the declaration is made to... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Zechariah 9:12

Turn you: the prophet exhorts the Jews, both those in Babylon still, and those already in Canaan, to hasten up to the strong hold; to Jerusalem, say some, which had been a strong hold, and which was now to be built again, as the high places of the earth; or to Christ, who is the salvation and high tower of his church. Ye prisoners of hope; captives in Babylon, yet under a promise from God, and under an edict from Cyrus, that you shall return; this gives you hope, this maketh you prisoners of... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Zechariah 9:11-17

CRITICAL NOTES.] Zechariah 9:12. Strong hold] Fortress, forcibly contrasting with pit (Psalms 40:2). To-day] No need to despair; their condition miserable, yet not hopeless. Double] Not strictly of twice the quantity, but simply of great abundance. A large amount of blessing far outweighing the misery of bòndage [cf Wardlaw]. Zechariah 9:13.] The method of victory represented figuratively. Judah, the extended bow; Ephraim, the arrow by which Jehovah would overcome the Grecians. Zechariah... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Zechariah 9:12

Zechariah 9:12 The prophet is speaking to those who are emphatically called "Christ's prisoners," those for whom, by His kingly power, He has gone up on high, and given to them repentance, that He might make them spiritual captives. I. No words could be framed more appropriate, or expressive of souls under spiritual distress, than those which the prophet here uses: "prisoners of hope." Why does the believer's soul feel so fast bound and so miserable? He was not always so; but he has felt so... read more
