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 Lo, a day hath come to Jehovah, And divided hath been thy spoil in thy midst.

2 And I have gathered all the nations unto Jerusalem to battle, And captured hath been the city, And spoiled have been the houses, And the women are lain with, Gone forth hath half the city in a removal, And the remnant of the people are not cut off from the city.

3 And gone forth hath Jehovah, And He hath fought against those nations, As in the day of His fighting in a day of conflict.

4 And stood have His feet, in that day, On the mount of Olives, That [is] before Jerusalem eastward, And cleft hath been the mount of Olives at its midst, To the east, and to the west, a very great valley, And removed hath the half of the mount towards the north. And its half towards the south.

5 And ye have fled [to] the valley of My mountains, For join doth the valley of the mountains to Azal, And ye have fled as ye fled before the shaking, In the days of Uzziah king of Judah, And come in hath Jehovah my God, All holy ones [are] with Thee.
