Zacarias 12:1 Meaning and Commentary

Zechariah 12:1

The burden of the word of the Lord for Israel
And against their enemies; for the good of the church of God, for its joy, comfort, and salvation; or, "concerning Israel" F24; what shall befall them in the latter day, as the destruction of antichrist, prophesied of in the preceding chapter ( Zechariah 11:1-17 ) ; and what is hereafter said may be believed that it shall be accomplished. The Lord is described in the greatness of his power, speaking as follows: saith the Lord, which stretcheth forth the heavens:
as a curtain, ( Psalms 104:2 ) the expanse or firmament of heaven, which is stretched out as a canopy over all the earth around: and layeth the foundation of the earth;
firm and sure, though upon the seas and floods, yea, upon nothing, ( Psalms 24:2 ) ( Job 26:7 ) : and formeth the spirit of man within him;
the soul of man, with all its powers and faculties, gifts and endowments; which is of his immediate creation, and which he continues daily to form, and infuse into the bodies of men, and holds in life there; hence he is called the Father of spirits, ( Hebrews 12:9 ) .

Zacarias 12:1 In-Context

1 A palavra do Senhor acerca de Israel: Fala o Senhor, o que estendeu o céu, e que lançou os alicerces da terra e que formou o espírito do homem dentro dele.
2 Eis que eu farei de Jerusalém um copo de atordoamento para todos os povos em redor, e também para Judá, durante o cerco contra Jerusalém.
3 Naquele dia farei de Jerusalém uma pedra pesada para todos os povos; todos os que a erguerem, serão gravemente feridos. E ajuntar-se-ão contra ela todas as nações da terra.
4 Naquele dia, diz o Senhor, ferirei de espanto a todos os cavalos, e de loucura os que montam neles. Mas sobre a casa de Judá abrirei os meus olhos, e ferirei de cegueira todos os cavalos dos povos.
5 Então os chefes de Judá dirão no seu coração: Os habitantes de Jerusalém são a minha força no Senhor dos exércitos, seu Deus.
