Zechariah 14:3 Meaning and Commentary

Zechariah 14:3

Then shall the Lord go forth
Out of his place in heaven, either in person, or by the display of his power; that is, the Lord Jesus Christ; whose name is called the Word of God, and is the King of kings, and Lord of lords, described as a mighty warrior, ( Revelation 19:11 ) : and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of
battle:
the Targum adds, "at the Red Sea"; when the Lord fought for, Israel against the Egyptians, ( Exodus 14:25 ) and afterwards against the Canaanites, when they entered the land of Canaan under Joshua: thus Christ shall judge, and make war in righteousness, and overcome those that shall make war with him; and with the sharp sword that goeth out of his mouth shall smite nations, and with a rod of iron rule them, and break them to shivers, ( Revelation 14:14 ) ( Revelation 19:11 Revelation 19:15 ) ( 2:27 ) see also ( Ezekiel 38:21 Ezekiel 38:22 ) ( Ezekiel 39:1 Ezekiel 39:8 Ezekiel 39:4 ) .

Zechariah 14:3 In-Context

1 ecce dies veniunt Domini et dividentur spolia tua in medio tui
2 et congregabo omnes gentes ad Hierusalem in proelium et capietur civitas et vastabuntur domus et mulieres violabuntur et egredietur media pars civitatis in captivitatem et reliquum populi non auferetur ex urbe
3 et egredietur Dominus et proeliabitur contra gentes illas sicut proeliatus est in die certaminis
4 et stabunt pedes eius in die illa super montem Olivarum qui est contra Hierusalem ad orientem et scindetur mons Olivarum ex media parte sui ad orientem et occidentem praerupto grandi valde et separabitur medium montis ad aquilonem et medium eius ad meridiem
5 et fugietis ad vallem montium meorum quoniam coniungetur vallis montium usque ad proximum et fugietis sicut fugistis a facie terraemotus in diebus Oziae regis Iuda et veniet Dominus Deus meus omnesque sancti cum eo
