스가랴 14:3-8 KRV

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

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Zechariah 14:3

Then shall the Lord go forth ,.... Out of his place in heaven, either in person, or by the display of his power; that is, the Lord Jesus Christ; whose name is called the Word of God, and is the King of kings, and Lord of lords, described as a mighty warrior, Revelation 19:11 , &c.;: and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle : the Targum adds, "at the Red Sea"; when the Lord fought for, Israel against the Egyptians, Exodus 14:25 and afterwards against... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Zechariah 14:4

And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives ,.... Where he often was in the days of his flesh, and from whence he ascended to heaven, Luke 21:37 but here he did not appear at the time of the destruction of Jerusalem; wherefore this must refer to a time to come; and seeing it is certain that he will stand in the latter day on the earth, at the time of the resurrection, and will come down from heaven in like manner as he went up; it seems very probable that he will descend... 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 Gill

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

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Zechariah 14:3

Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations - Against the Romans, by means of the northern nations; who shall destroy the whole empire of this once mistress of the world. But this is an obscure place. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Zechariah 14:4

And his feet shall stand - He shall appear in full possession of the place, as a mighty conqueror. And the mount of Olives shall cleave - God shall display his miraculous power as fully in the final restoration of the Jews, as he did when he divided the Red Sea that their forefathers might pass through dry-shod. Some refer this to the destruction of the city by the Romans. It was on the mount of Olives that Titus posted his army to batter Jerusalem. Here the tenth legion that came to him... read more
