Zechariah 8:20 Meaning and Commentary

Zechariah 8:20

Thus saith the Lord of hosts, [It shall] yet [come to
pass]
This is another thing that shall certainly be accomplished: that there shall come people, and the inhabitants of many cities;
in the Gentile world; they shall come and hear the word, believe in Christ, and join together in a Gospel church state; as they did at Antioch, Thessalonica, Corinth, and many other places: Ben Melech says this shall be in the days of the Messiah; and so it has been in the days of the true Messiah Jesus, and will be again in the latter day.

18 The word of the LORD of heavenly forces came to me:
19 The LORD of heavenly forces proclaims: The fasts of the fourth, fifth, seventh, and tenth months will become times of joy and gladness, pleasant feasts for the house of Judah. Love truth and peace!
20 The LORD of heavenly forces proclaims: Peoples will still come, the inhabitants of many cities.
