Zechariah 14:7 ESV

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

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

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Zechariah 14:7

At evening time it shall be light - At the close of this awful visitation, there shall be light. The light of the glorious Gospel shall go forth from Jerusalem; and next, from the Roman empire to every part of the earth. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Zechariah 14:7

Verse 7 Then he says, that this day is known to Jehovah, in order that the faithful night depend on his good pleasure, and not too anxiously enquire about an event hidden from them and the whole world. The day then is known, says Zechariah, only to God, though he speaks of things well known, and which the Jews had at length to know by experience. But his object must be regarded, for his purpose was to restrain the godly, that they might not unnecessarily torment themselves, for we are wont to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Zechariah 14:6-7

The day of days. The promise that "at evening time it shall be light" is suggestive and comforting. I. THE DAWN . Ordinary light seems withdrawn. Things are seen dimly. Discouragement and fear. Ready to say, "Darkness shall cover us." Call for faith. "God is light." "He will bring the blind by a way that they know not, making darkness light before them" (cf. Isaiah 1:10 ). II. PROGRESS . Still uncertainty. Neither wholly day nor night. Alternations. Now the sun seems about... read more

Dark and bright periods in human life. "And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark: 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." The word rendered "clear" is in the margin "precious," and is in the plural. The word "dark" here is in the margin rendered "thickness." The following translation by Dr. Henderson gives, I think, the meaning: "And it shall... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Zechariah 14:6-11

A wonderful day. "And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark," etc. However obscure, in some respects, the opening verses of this passage, the "day" they speak of is to be, very manifestly, a day by itself. How strange, e.g; the character of its light! Is it the light of "day"? or the darkness of "night "? How strange, also, its time—so that it should be, apparently, at its brightest just when the light of day is no more (end of Zechariah 14:7 )!... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Zechariah 14:7

One day. A unique day, unparalleled (comp. So Zechariah 6:9 ; Ezekiel 7:5 ). Which shall be ( is ) known to the Lord . Its peculiar character, and the moment of its arrival, are known to God, and God only ( Matthew 24:36 ). Not day, nor night. It cannot be called truly the one or the other, because there is darkness in the day and light at night, as the following clause says. This is symbolically explained by St. Ephraem, "It will not be altogether consolation, nor altogether... read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Zechariah 14:7

And it shall be one day: it shall be known unto the Lord: not day, and not night; and at the eventide it shall be light - “One” special “day; one,” unlike all beside; known unto God, and to Him alone. For God alone knows the day of the consummation of all things, as He saith, “Of that day and that hour knoweth no one, neither the angels in Heaven, nor the Son, (so as to reveal it) but the Father only” Mark 13:32. Neither wholly “day,” because overclouded with darkness; nor wholly “night,” for... read more
