Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Zechariah 14:1-7

God's providences concerning his church are here represented as strangely changing and strangely mixed. I. As strangely changing. Sometimes the tide runs high and strong against them, but presently it turns, and comes to be in favour of them; and God has, for wise and holy ends, set the one over against the other. 1. God here appears against Jerusalem; judgment begins at the house of God. When the day of the Lord comes (Zech. 14:1) Jerusalem must pass through the fire to be refined. God... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Zechariah 14:8-15

Here are, I. Blessings promised to Jerusalem, the gospel-Jerusalem, in the day of the Messiah, and to all the earth, by virtue of the blessings poured out on Jerusalem, especially to the land of Israel. 1. Jerusalem shall be a spring of living waters to the world; it was made so when there the Spirit was poured out upon the apostles, and thence the word of the Lord diffused itself to the nations about (Zech. 14:8): Living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; for there they began, and thence... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Zechariah 14:16-21

Three things are here foretold:? I. That a gospel-way of worship being set up in the church there shall be a great resort to it and a general attendance upon it. Those that were left of the enemies of religion shall be so sensible of the mercy of God to them in their narrow escape that they shall apply themselves to the worship of the God of Israel, and pay their homage to him, Zech. 14:16. Those that were not consumed shall be converted, and this makes their deliverance a mercy indeed, a... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Zechariah 14:5

And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains ,.... To seek for shelter and safety in them, for fear of the Lord, and the glory of his majesty, whom every eye shall see, Isaiah 2:19 , for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal ; a name of a place not known; it may be thought to be at some considerable distance: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah ; two years before which Amos prophesied, Amos 1:1 and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Zechariah 14:6

And it shall come to pass in that day ,.... Which shall precede the coming of Christ, both his spiritual and personal reign; for what follows will not agree with either state: that the light shall not be clear nor dark ; before the latter day glory it will be a darkish dispensation; not "clear", as in the first times of the Gospel, when the sun of righteousness appeared, and the shadows of the ceremonial law were removed, and the Gospel shone out in the ministry of Christ and his... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Zechariah 14:7

But it shall be one day ,.... A very singular, remarkable, and uncommon one; and it will be but one day; things will not continue long in such a position: which shall be known to the Lord ; all times and seasons are known unto the Lord, but this will come under his special notice and observation, and be under the direction of his special providence; it will only be taken notice of by him, and not by others; scarce any will observe it, or know what God is doing in it, or about to do: ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Zechariah 14:8

And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem ,.... When it shall be light; and this is one of the things which will make it so; for by "living waters" are meant the Gospel, and the doctrines of it; compared to running "waters" for the sound of them, which will then go into all the earth; for the swiftness in which they shall proceed; for their rapidity and force in bearing all before them; for the great spread of them; and for their virtue and efficacy in... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Zechariah 14:9

And the Lord shall be King over all the earth ,.... This refers to the spiritual reign of Christ in the latter day; upon the success of the Gospel everywhere, there will be great conversions in all places; Gospel churches will be set up and ordinances administered everywhere; the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the Lord; his kingdom will be from sea to sea, from the eastern to the western one, and his dominion will reach to the ends of the earth; Popish nations, Mahometan... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Zechariah 14:10

All the land shall be turned as a plain ,.... That is, all the land of Israel round about Jerusalem, which was encompassed with mountains, Psalm 125:2 but now these mountains shall become a plain, that that may be seen; since it follows, from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem ; Geba was a city in the tribe of Benjamin, on the northern border of the land, Joshua 21:17 and Rimmon was in the tribe of Judah, given to Simeon on the southern part, Joshua 15:32 so that from Geba to Rimmon... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Zechariah 14:11

And men shall dwell in it ,.... In great numbers, in much peace and safety, and from generation to generation: Aben Ezra says, Messiah the son of David will now come: and there shall be no more utter destruction ; no wars, nor desolations by them, in a civil sense; there shall be no more killing, as the Targum, Isaiah 2:4 no "cherem", no anathema, in a religious sense; in the old translation it is, "and there shall be no more cursing"; there will be no curse in the Jerusalem state, ... read more
