Zacarías 14:9

9 Y el SEÑOR será rey sobre toda la tierra; aquel día el SEÑOR será uno, y uno su nombre.

Zacarías 14:9 Meaning and Commentary

Zechariah 14:9

And the Lord shall be King over all the earth
This refers to the spiritual reign of Christ in the latter day; upon the success of the Gospel everywhere, there will be great conversions in all places; Gospel churches will be set up and ordinances administered everywhere; the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the Lord; his kingdom will be from sea to sea, from the eastern to the western one, and his dominion will reach to the ends of the earth; Popish nations, Mahometan kingdoms, Pagan ones, and all the kings of the earth, will become Christian, and submit to the sceptre of Christ's kingdom:

in that day shall there be one Lord;
there is but one Lord in right now, and there is but one in fact that is owned by real Christians; and there will be but one in the spiritual reign, among all that are called Christians; there will be but one Lord and Head to Jews and Gentiles, ( Hosea 1:11 ) the pope of Rome will be no more owned as head of the church, nor any other:

and his name, one;
this refers not to any particular name by which Christ shall be called; but rather to that by which his people shall be called; all names of distinction being now laid aside, and only that of Christians retained; though it chiefly designs unity of doctrine, uniformity of worship, one and the same way of administering ordinances: it signifies that there will be one true, spiritual, uniform worship and religion; there will be no different sentiments and principles in religion; nor different practices and modes of worship; nor different sects; but all agreeing in the same faith and practice, under one Lord and King, Christ Jesus. So the Targum,

``they shall serve before the Lord with one shoulder; for his name is firm in the world, and there is none besides it.''

This passage is referred by the ancient Jews ^F12 to the times of the Messiah.

Zacarías 14:9 In-Context

7 Será un día único, conocido sólo del SEÑOR, ni día ni noche; y sucederá que a la hora de la tarde habrá luz.

8 En aquel día sucederá que brotarán aguas vivas de Jerusalén, una mitad hacia el mar oriental y la otra mitad hacia el mar occidental, será lo mismo en verano que en invierno.

9 Y el SEÑOR será rey sobre toda la tierra; aquel día el SEÑOR será uno, y uno su nombre.

10 Toda la tierra se volverá como una llanura desde Geba hasta Rimón, al sur de Jerusalén; pero ésta se levantará y será habitada en su lugar desde la puerta de Benjamín hasta el lugar de la puerta Primera, hasta la puerta del Angulo, y desde la torre de Hananeel hasta los lagares del rey.

11 Y habitarán en ella y no habrá más maldición; y Jerusalén habitará en seguridad.
