Zechariah 14:13 Meaning and Commentary

Zechariah 14:13

And it shall come to pass in that day
When the vials are pouring out:

[that] a great tumult from the Lord shall be among them;
the Targum renders it, a great tumult, or noise of killing; and the Septuagint, an ecstasy: it refers to the earthquake, and the slaughter of seven thousand men of name, and the fright upon that, ( Revelation 11:13 )

and they shall lay hold everyone on the hand of his neighbour, and
shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour;
there will be a revolution, upon this tumult, in several of the antichristian states; and the kings of them shall hate the whore, make her desolate, eat her flesh, and burn her with fire, ( Revelation 17:16 ) or, "his hand shall be cut off by the hand of his neighbour" F21; see ( Zechariah 11:17 ) , the power of antichrist shall be destroyed by neighbouring Christian princes.

Zechariah 14:13 In-Context

11 People will live in it, and there will no longer be a curse, for Jerusalem will dwell in security.
12 Now this will be the plague with which the LORD will strike all the peoples who have gone to war against Jerusalem; their flesh will rot while they stand on their feet, and their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongue will rot in their mouth.
13 It will come about in that day that a great panic from the LORD will fall on them; and they will seize one another's hand, and the hand of one will be lifted against the hand of another.
14 Judah also will fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the surrounding nations will be gathered, gold and silver and garments in great abundance.
15 So also like this plague will be the plague on the horse, the mule, the camel, the donkey and all the cattle that will be in those camps.
