Zechariah 14:19-21

(19-21) We cannot see, as many commentators affirm, that these concluding verses clearly indicate a passing away of everything that is distinctly Levitical. They only state that in that day there will be a general elevation of everything in sanctity. Even “the bells upon the horses” will, like the plate of gold on the mitre of the high priest, have inscribed on them “HOLINESS TO THE LORD” (Exodus 28:36, &c.). The pots of the sanctuary in which the “peace offerings” were cooked will be raised to the grade of sanctity of the bowls in which the blood was caught; and ordinary pots will be raised to the grade of sanctuary pots. Neither can we see in this passage a promise of the restoration of the Mosaic ritual, for the whole chapter is composed in most unmistakably figurative language.
