Truth and Love Must Prevail Zechariah 8:1-17 In his third answer Zechariah dilates on the prosperity awaiting the chosen city. The Lord had returned, to dwell there, and the old men and women who were at the end of life should join with the happy boys and girls who were at the beginning in the enjoyment of the blessings of peace. Exiles also would return to people the former desolations. But with these delightful forecasts ensue reiterated appeals. read more

The third answer was full of grace. It declared that God was jealous for Zion, that He had returned to it, and that therefore its prosperity was assured, notwithstanding that these people saw only the devastation which caused their lamentation. Because of the certainty of this restoration, the prophet appealed to the remnant to be strong and build, promising them in the name of Jehovah that instead of being a curse they would become a blessing. Reaffirming this divine intention to restore, the... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Zechariah 8:5

THE CITY AND THE CHILD‘And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof.’ Zechariah 8:5 According to the prophet’s interpretation of the City of God, little children and old people are the greatest blessings of a nation, and the surest test of its government. A world without old people and little children would be an intolerable and impossible world. In their helplessness they appeal to all that is best in our nature, and the attitude to that appeal... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Zechariah 8:1-8

God Declares His Purposes For His People With Promises of Great Blessing (Zechariah 8:1-8 ). God now makes a number of declarations through Zechariah in respect of His people. · Firstly, ‘I am jealous for Zion with great jealousy.’ In this the longing in His heart that His people should become what they should be is clearly expreseed. And so is His determination to save them. · Secondly, “I am returned to Zion and I will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem, and Jerusalem shall called ‘the city of... 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

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Zechariah 8:1-18

Zechariah 8:4 f. A beautiful description of the result of the restoration of peace and safety. During the troublous past Jerusalem had been no place for feeble old age or for children. The sympathetic touch, “ playing in the streets thereof,” is one of the very few indications in the OT of a love for children as such. Zechariah 8:7 . with its refer. ence to the east and west looks like a later prophecy of the return from the Dispersion, Zechariah 8:10 . is in agreement with Haggai 1:6;... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Zechariah 8:4

Old men; very old men, and very old women: formerly war, or famine, or pestilence and wasting disease, or wild beasts, did cut off men and women before they grew to old age; but now it shall be otherwise, I will bless with health and long life in a peaceful state. Old women; though naturally the weaker, though by child-bearing further weakened, yet there shall be many of these very old; or possibly it may intimate a very long life with their beloved mates, and so old men will be ancient... read more

The streets; every street. Shall be full of boys and girls; have many young ones healthful, strong, brisk, and lively, the present joy and future hope of all; so will I fulfil the promise of multiplying your children. Playing in the streets: Jerusalem shall be in that peace, health, and plenty, that parents shall neither fear danger to their children abroad, nor need their labour at home. So shall that Psalms 128:0 be fulfilled to them. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Zechariah 8:6

If it be marvellous: these things promised may perhaps seem very strange and difficult, if not impossible. In the eyes; in the judgment and opinion, or rather, to the unbelief of this people. The remnant of this people: few in number, exceedingly poor, and perpetually surrounded with dangers. In these days; which are days of small things. Should it also be marvellous, impossible, or so much as difficult, to me? Saith the Lord of hosts: the Almighty God will do this. read more
