Zechariah 14:14 Meaning and Commentary

Zechariah 14:14

And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem
These are the professing people of Christ, the armies in heaven, the chosen, called, and faithful, who will follow the Lamb, and attend him when he goes forth to make war with the antichristian princes, and shall overcome them, ( Revelation 17:14 ) ( 19:14 ) :

and the wealth of all the heathen round about shall be gathered
together, gold and silver, and apparel, in great abundance;
by which are meant the riches of the Papists, called Gentiles or Heathens, ( Revelation 11:2 Revelation 11:18 ) which will fall into the hands of the followers of Christ at the time of Rome's destruction; and which are signified by the flesh of the whore, and by the flesh of kings, captains, and mighty men, which will then be eaten; they will be stripped and spoiled of all their substance, ( Revelation 17:16 ) ( 19:18 ) .

Zechariah 14:14 In-Context

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.
16 Then it will come about that any who are left of all the nations that went against Jerusalem will go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to celebrate the Feast of Booths.
