Zechariah 14:9 - Exposition

All the earth; all the land of Israel ( Zechariah 14:8 , Zechariah 14:10 )—a type of the kingdom of God in all its extent ( Revelation 11:15 , "The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign forever and ever"). Shall there be one Lord; rather, Jehovah shall be one. He shall be universally acknowledged as "the blessed and only Potentate" ( 1 Timothy 6:15 ). His name one. Idolatry shall be abolished, and the one God shall be everywhere adored (comp. Zechariah 13:2 ; Deuteronomy 6:4 ). Men shall no longer attribute operations and effects to various heavenly powers, but shall see and confess that all are derived from and centre in him, and are only different revelations of his ineffable nature and attributes. We do not, indeed, see this prediction yet fulfilled, but the grace to accomplish it is ready and operating; it is only men's perverse wills that impede the gracious purpose of God.
