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

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Zechariah 14:17

"And it shall be, that whoso of all the families of the earth goeth not up to Jerusalem to worship the King, Jehovah of hosts, upon them there shall be no rain. And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, neither shall it be upon them; there will be the plague wherewith Jehovah will smite the nations that go not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.""There shall be no rain ..." Literal rain cannot be the subject here; the word is used metaphorically. Christ himself took special... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Zechariah 14:19

"This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all the nations that go not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.""Punishment of all the nations ..." By this, the prophet makes it clear that the word "Egypt" was used as a "type" of all the peoples of the earth who forget God and heed not his mercies. It was an especially appropriate type, because it had been Egypt which reduced the people of God to slavery, committed genocide against them, and subjected them to cruel and inhumane... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Zechariah 14:20

"In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, HOLY UNTO JEHOVAH; and the pots in Jehovah's house shall be like the bowls before the altar."One of the truly marvelous revelations of Hebrew prophecy is this: THERE IS A NEW MEANING OF WHAT IS SACRED in the religion of Christ. The words here listed as being "upon the bells of the horses" was exactly the inscription engraved upon a plate of pure gold on the turban of Aaron the High Priest (Exodus 28:36-38)."Holy unto Jehovah" was thus in... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Zechariah 14:21

"Yea every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holy unto Jehovah of hosts; and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and boil therein: and in that day there shall be no more a Canaanite in the house of Jehovah of hosts."We believe that the purpose here is to show that even those vessels (pots) once excluded from the lists of the sacred, shall in the new age be as holy as the "bowls before the altar" (Zechariah 14:20). Such a conclusion as that of Mitchell, supposing that the... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Zechariah 14:17

Zechariah 14:17. Of all the families of the earth— If, according to the opinion of many learned commentators, by going up to Jerusalem to worship, and to keep the feast of tabernacles, be only meant a conformity to the worship of the one true God, or, which is the same thing, to the Christian religion, there can be no objection to understanding a strict universality of the nations: for it is repeatedly foretold, that a time will come, when "all the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Zechariah 14:18

Zechariah 14:18. That have no rain; there, &c.— Upon them shall be the plague wherewith the Lord, &c. Houbigant. The reader will observe, that the prophet, foretelling the blessings arising from the restoration of the Jews, and the conversion of the Gentiles to the Christian faith, draws his images from the old dispensation; and, as is usual throughout the prophetic writings, expresses the rewards and punishments of the new dispensation, under figures borrowed from the old. read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Zechariah 14:20-21

Zechariah 14:20-21. In that day, &c.— This and the following verse seem to imply the promise of universal peace and holiness; blessings often mentioned in the prophets as concomitants of the flourishing state of Christ's kingdom. The meaning of the passage therefore is, that the bells, or furniture of war, belonging to the horses, shall no more be applied to their former use; but shall be looked upon as sacred, and laid up in the armoury of the temple of the Lord, as a memorial of the... read more
