Zechariah 14:9 - Forerunner Commentary

Zechariah 14:9

7 It shall be one day
^aWhich is known to the Lord—
Neither day nor night.
But at ^bevening time it shall happen
That it will be light.

8 And in that day it shall be
That living ^awaters shall flow from Jerusalem,
Half of them toward¹ the eastern sea
And half of them toward¹ the western sea;
In both summer and winter it shall occur.

9 And the Lord shall be ^aKing over all the earth.
In that day it shall be—
^b“The Lord is one,”
And His name one.

10 All the land shall be turned into a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem. Jerusalem shall be raised up and ^ainhabited in her place from Benjamin’s Gate to the place of the First Gate and the Corner Gate, ^band from the Tower of Hananel to the king’s winepresses.

11 The people shall dwell in it;
And ^ano longer shall there be utter destruction,
^bBut Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.

12 And this shall be the plague with which the Lord will strike all the people who fought against Jerusalem:
Their flesh shall¹ dissolve while they stand on their feet,
Their eyes shall dissolve in their sockets,
And their tongues shall dissolve in their mouths.

13 It shall come to pass in that day
That ^aa great panic from the Lord will be among them.
Everyone will seize the hand of his neighbor,
And raise ^bhis hand against his neighbor’s hand;

14 Judah also will fight at Jerusalem.
^aAnd the wealth of all the surrounding nations
Shall be gathered together:
Gold, silver, and apparel in great abundance.

15 ^aSuch also shall be the plague
On the horse and the mule,
On the camel and the donkey,
And on all the cattle that will be in those camps.
So shall this plague be.

The Nations Worship the King

16 And it shall come to pass that everyone who is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall ^ago up from year to year to ^bworship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep ^cthe Feast of Tabernacles.

17 ^aAnd it shall be that whichever of the families of the earth do not come up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, on them there will be no rain.
