Zechariah 2:11 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Zechariah 2:10-13

Here is, I. Joy proclaimed to the church of God, to the daughter of Zion, that had separated herself from the daughter of Babylon. The Jews that had returned were in distress and danger, their enemies in the neighbourhood were spiteful against them, their friends that remained in Babylon were cool towards them, shy of them, and declined coming in to their assistance; and yet they are directed to sing, and to rejoice even in tribulation. Note, Those that have recovered their purity, and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Zechariah 2:11

And many nations shall be joined to the Lord in that day ,.... The Gospel will be preached in all nations, and multitudes will be converted, and embrace and profess the Christian religion, and join themselves to the churches of Christ, which, in the New Testament, is expressed by being joined to the Lord, Acts 5:13 see Jeremiah 50:5 , and shall be my people ; shall appear to be so, who before were not the people of God; did not profess themselves, and were not known to be, the people... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Zechariah 2:11

Many nations shall be joined to the Lord - This most certainly belongs to the Christian church. No nation or people ever became converts to the Jewish religion, but whole nations have embraced the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Zechariah 2:11

Verse 11 The Prophet describes here the voluntary surrender of the nations, who would so join themselves to the Church of God, as to disown their own name and to count themselves Jews: and this is what the Prophet borrowed from those who had predicted the same thing; but he confirms their testimony, that the Jews might know that the propagation of the Church had not been promised to them in vain by so many witnesses. That what is said here refers to the calling of the nations who would... read more

The benefits of God's presence. "Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for to, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee," etc. In these verses the prophecy takes us back to a thought twice touched on already (see Zechariah 1:16 ; Zechariah 2:5 ), viz. the manifested presence of God with his people. Three times over in the present passage is this same thought referred to (observe" I will dwell," both in Zechariah 2:10 and Zechariah 2:11 ; and "habitation," in Zechariah 2:13 ... read more

The joys of the Church in her great Head. "It is a great jubilee of joy to which Zion is invited. Thrice besides is she invited with the same word ( Isaiah 54:1 ; Zephaniah 3:14 , Zephaniah 3:15 ; Isaiah 12:6 ), and all for the restored and renewed presence of God" (Pusey). I. THE GLORY OF HIS PRESENCE . Absenteeism is a sore evil among men, but the King of Zion is always in residence. II. THE VASTNESS OF HIS DOMINION . Not material but moral. Souls.... read more

The joy of the millennial Church. "Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the Lord," etc. "The daughter Zion, or the Church of the Lord, delivered out of Babylon, is to rejoice with joy, because her glorification is commencing now. The Lord comes to her in his angel, in whom is his Name ( Exodus 23:21 ) and his face ( Exodus 33:14 ), i.e. the Angel of his face ( Isaiah 63:9 ), who reveals his nature, to dwell in the midst... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Zechariah 2:11

Many nations shall be joined ( shall join themselves ) to the Lord; "shall fly for refuge unto the Lord". My people; unto me for a people ; Septuagint, "shall be unto him for a people" (comp. Zechariah 8:20 ). No mere conversion of individuals among the heathen satisfies this promise. Whole nations shall become the Lord's people. That title shall be shared with Israel by countless multitudes (comp, Isaiah 2:2 , Isaiah 2:3 ; Isaiah 11:10 ; Micah 4:2 ; Zephaniah 2:11 ), ... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Zechariah 2:11

And many nations shall join themselves - cleaving to Him by a close union. Isaiah had so spoken of single proselytes Isaiah 56:3-6; Jeremiah had used the word of Israel’s self-exhortation after the return from Babylon; “going and weeping,” they shall go and seek the Lord their God, saying, “Come and let us join ourselves unto the Lord, in a perpetual covenant that shall not be forgotten” Jeremiah 50:4-5. This Zechariah now predicts of “many nations.” The Jews were scarcely half-restored... read more
