Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Zechariah 14:16

Zechariah 14:16. And every one that is left of all the nations Such as escape the fore-mentioned strokes of divine judgment, and are by mercy preserved; of all the nations which came against Jerusalem That is, many among all these nations shall consider God’s hand, repent, and submit to his law. Such a change shall the grace of God, sanctifying his judgments, make upon them. Of Christ’s foes, as some shall be made his footstool, so others shall be made his friends; and when the principle... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Zechariah 14:1-21

The Messiah’s kingdom (14:1-21)In the final section of his book, Zechariah outlines briefly the worldwide triumph of the Messiah. Since those for whom he writes are familiar only with the region around Palestine, he limits the geographical details to that area. Other pictures are likewise taken from the way of life familiar to the Jews.The scene opens with the enemies of God mistakenly thinking that at last they have conquered his people (Jerusalem). Confident that they have achieved victory,... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Zechariah 14:14

"And Judah shall also fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all nations round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel in great abundance."This is one of the most astonishing passages in the Old Testament. Although classified as "ambiguous"[26] by scholars, based upon the fact that the Hebrew word here rendered "at" (Judah shall fight at Jerusalem) may also be accurately rendered "against."[27] Although practically all of the current scholars insist that the passage means... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Zechariah 14:15

"And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in those camps, as that plague."The meaning here is that the animal kingdom along with the human race shall receive the destruction that "cometh upon the children of disobedience." Man's wickedness shall ultimately succeed, not merely in accomplishing his own destruction, but also that of his environment, and that of the lower creations as well as his own. read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Zechariah 14:16

"And it shall come to pass, that everyone that is left of all the nations that came against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King, Jehovah of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.""Everyone that is left ..." is a reference to the survivors from repeated judgmental destructions that shall mark the progress of the holy church throughout the ages of her probation, during which time the forces of evil align themselves repeatedly against Christ and his church, suffer the... read more
