Zechariah 14:7

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Zechariah 14:1-21

10. JUDGMENT OF THE HEATHEN ANDSANCTIFICATION OF JERUSALEM(Zechariah 14:1-21)In another apocalyptic vision the prophet beholds Jerusalem again beset by the heathen. But Jehovah Himself intervenes, appearing in person, and an earthquake breaks out at His feet. The heathen are smitten, as they stand, into moldering corpses. The remnant of them shall be converted to Jehovah and take part in the annual Feast of Booths. If any refuse they shall be punished with drought. But Jerusalem shall abide in... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Zechariah 14:1-21

Nations Punished, Then Restored (vv. 1-15) This chapter goes back to consider the The Great Tribulation from another viewpoint. "Behold, the day of the Lord is coming (v.1). The day of the Lord stands in contrast to "man's day" (1 Corinthians 4:3 - JND). "Man's day" is the present time when God is allowing man to express his own opinions and to some extent have his own way. This day will culminate in man's bold challenge to God's authority by placing "the abomination of desolation" in the... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Zechariah 14:1-21

END THE AGE , OPEN THE MILLENNIUM It was stated that the first part of the book, chapters 1-8, referred chiefly, though not entirely, to the prophet’s own time. The basis of all the prophecies in that part had a historical relation to the period then present. They were uttered, to encourage the people in rebuilding the temple. And yet there is not one of them that did not take cognizance of the far future. The discourses of this, the second part, deal almost entirely with the future. It... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Zechariah 14:6-7

And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear nor dark: 7 But it shall be one day, which shall be known to the Lord, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening-time it shall be light. By these verses, it should seem is intended to shew, that this great day of the Lord will be ushered in, with a season remarkable neither for brightness nor darkness. The divine manifestations to the Church, and to individuals, will not be so clear as the Church might... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Zechariah 14:7

In the time of the evening there shall be light. An unexpected light shall arise by the means of the Machabees, when things shall seem to be at the worst. (Challoner) --- At one period of the last siege, it was dubious what would be the event, particularly (Calmet) when Titus was separated from almost all his attendants, and when the besieged burned the works of the enemy.

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Zechariah 14:1-7

1-7 The Lord Jesus often stood upon the Mount of Olives when on earth. He ascended from thence to heaven, and then desolations and distresses came upon the Jewish nation. Such is the view taken of this figuratively; but many consider it as a notice of events yet unfulfilled, and that it relates to troubles of which we cannot now form a full idea. Every believer, being related to God as his God, may triumph in the expectation of Christ's coming in power, and speak of it with pleasure. During a... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Zechariah 14:1-99

Zech 14 WHEN THE DAY of the Lord arrives, there will come the moment of supreme crisis for Jerusalem. God will allow the most determined adversaries to have their way for a brief time. It has ever been thus. When God begins to work, the adversary is stirred to put forth his power to the utmost but only to find his efforts over-ruled for ultimate good. Thus it was on that occasion that stands out above all else, as is recorded in Acts 4.26-4.28 . The actions of the adversary only help to... read more

For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle, the enemies being recruited from all countries of the world; and the city shall be taken and the houses rifled and the women ravished, a picture of an apparent... read more
