Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Zechariah 14:17

17. no rain—including every calamity which usually follows in the East from want of rain, namely, scarcity of provisions, famine, pestilence, c. Rain is the symbol also of God's favor (Hosea 6:3). That there shall be unconverted men under the millennium appears from the outbreak of Gog and Magog at the end of it (Hosea 6:3- :) but they, like Satan their master, shall be restrained during the thousand years. Note, too, from this verse that the Gentiles shall come up to Jerusalem, rather than the... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Zechariah 14:18

18. if . . . Egypt go not up—specified as Israel's ancient foe. If Egypt go not up, and so there be no rain on them (a judgment which Egypt would condemn, as depending on the Nile's overflow, not on rain), there shall be the plague . . . . Because the guilty are not affected by one judgment, let them not think to escape, for God has other judgments which shall plague them. MAURER translates, "If Egypt go not up, upon them also there shall be none" (no rain). Psalms 105:32 mentions "rain" in... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Zechariah 14:20

20. shall there be upon the bells—namely, this inscription, "Holiness to the Lord," the same as was on the miter of the high priest ( :-). This implies that all things, even the most common, shall be sacred to Jehovah, and not merely the things which under the law had peculiar sanctity attached to them. The "bells" were metal plates hanging from the necks of horses and camels as ornaments, which tinkled (as the Hebrew root means) by striking against each other. Bells attached to horses are... read more

21. every pot—even in private houses, as in the temple, shall be deemed holy, so universal shall be the consecration of all things and persons to Jehovah. take of them—as readily as they would take of the pots of the temple itself, whatever number they wanted for sacrifice. no . . . Canaanite—no unclean or ungodly person (Isaiah 35:8; Isaiah 52:1; Joel 3:17). Compare as to the final state subsequent to the millennium, Revelation 21:27; Revelation 22:15. MAURER not so well translates "merchant"... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Zechariah 14:1

The Lord announced through His prophet that a day was coming, for His benefit primarily, when the nations that had plundered Israel victoriously would divide their spoil among themselves in Jerusalem. This would be the Lords’ day in which He would do His will, in contrast to man’s day in which man conducts his affairs without divine interference."The day of the Lord in prophetic literature designates any time when Yahweh steps into the arena of human events to effect his purposes."

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Zechariah 14:2

The Lord would gather all the nations against Jerusalem to fight against her (cf. Revelation 16:16-21, Armageddon). They would capture the city, plunder the houses, and rape the women. Half of the Jewish residents would depart as exiles, but the other half would remain. This would be one-half of the portion of the one-third of the Jewish population that would be in Jerusalem that had not died during the Tribulation (Zechariah 13:8). This has never yet happened."The only [?] explanation is that... read more

Yahweh would then take the role of the divine warrior and fight for His people Israel (cf. Zechariah 1:3; Zechariah 9; Zechariah 10:4-5; Zechariah 12:1-9). He had done this previously in the Exodus and on numerous other occasions (cf. Exodus 14:13-14; Joshua 10:14; Joshua 23:3; Judges 4:15; 2 Chronicles 20:15)."In their quest for world peace, some denominations have removed the ’militant songs’ from their hymnals, so that a new generation is growing up knowing nothing about ’fighting the good... read more

In that day Yahweh’s feet, in the person of Messiah (cf. Acts 1:9-12; Revelation 19:11-16), would stand on the Mount of Olives to the east of Jerusalem (cf. Acts 1:11). This is the only place in the Old Testament where this name for this mountain appears (cf. 2 Samuel 15:30; Ezekiel 11:23). Since people were east oriented in ancient times, Zechariah described this mountain as in front of Jerusalem. The Lord would split this mountain in two (with an earthquake, Zechariah 14:5) so half of it... read more
