John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Zechariah 14:1-21
The Judgment of the Heathen. Exaltation of JerusalemThis chapter has the appearance of a late work. It has all the general characteristics of the style of literature known to students in the book of Enoch, and popular in the Jewish church about the beginning of the Christian era. The terrible punishment of the heathen (Zechariah 14:12), and the ceremonial purity of Jerusalem (Zechariah 14:20-21), are typical of the narrower phases of late Judaism.1, 2. Jerusalem again assaulted and taken.3-7.... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Zechariah 14:12-13
(12, 13) In the description of the plague, and confusion, and rout with which the hostile nations are to be smitten, the prophet had in mind several historical events: e.g., Exodus 9:14; Psalms 37:36; 1 Samuel 5:9; 1 Samuel 14:20; Isaiah 22:5. read more

(14) Judah.—Then, taking courage from the panic which had struck their adversaries, the whole people of Judah—not merely those who had escaped out of the city, but also those outside the walls—fight once more “at Jerusalem,” or in its very streets,” against the terror-driven, plague-stricken, God-confounded foe” (Wright).And the wealth. . . .—Oriental armies always march with quantities of gold, silver, and other valuables. (Comp. 2 Chronicles 20:25; and for an instance in India, year of the... read more

(15) The war-horse (see Note on Zechariah 9:9) and beasts of burden (see Note on Zechariah 9:9) are to be included in the destruction, even as were the cattle of Achan (Joshua 7:24). read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Zechariah 14:16
(16) Go up . . . to worship.—The judgment on the nation is to be remedial. The result of it is to be that they will earnestly embrace the worship of the one only true God. “The Feast of Tabernacles” (lasting from the 15th to the 22nd of Tishri) is called par excellence “The Feast.” The chief object in its observance is, from a material point of view, the thanksgiving for the in gathering of the harvest and vintage. On the 21st (called Hosha’na Rabba) the Jews always pray that the coming year... read more

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

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

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

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Zechariah 14:16
The remaining former enemies of Israel who would not die would bow to the sovereignty of Yahweh (cf. Zechariah 8:20-23; Isaiah 2:2-4; Isaiah 45:21-24; Isaiah 60:4-14; Ezekiel 40-48; Philippians 2:10). They would be expected to make annual pilgrimages to Jerusalem to worship the one King, Almighty Yahweh (cf. Psalms 24:10; Isaiah 6:5; Revelation 11:15; Revelation 19:16), and to celebrate the feast of Booths. The feast of Booths (or Tabernacles, Ingathering) commemorated the Lord’s provision of... read more
