Zechariah 14:14 Meaning and Commentary

Zechariah 14:14

And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem
These are the professing people of Christ, the armies in heaven, the chosen, called, and faithful, who will follow the Lamb, and attend him when he goes forth to make war with the antichristian princes, and shall overcome them, ( Revelation 17:14 ) ( 19:14 ) :

and the wealth of all the heathen round about shall be gathered
together, gold and silver, and apparel, in great abundance;
by which are meant the riches of the Papists, called Gentiles or Heathens, ( Revelation 11:2 Revelation 11:18 ) which will fall into the hands of the followers of Christ at the time of Rome's destruction; and which are signified by the flesh of the whore, and by the flesh of kings, captains, and mighty men, which will then be eaten; they will be stripped and spoiled of all their substance, ( Revelation 17:16 ) ( 19:18 ) .

Zechariah 14:14 In-Context

12 This will be the plague the Lord strikes all the peoples with, who have warred against Jerusalem: their flesh will rot while they stand on their feet, their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths.

13 On that day a great panic from the Lord will be among them, so that each will seize the hand of another, and the hand of one will rise against the other.

14 Judah will also fight at Jerusalem, and the wealth of all the surrounding nations will be collected: gold, silver, and clothing in great abundance.

15 The same plague as the previous one will strike the horses, mules, camels, donkeys, and all the animals that are in those camps.

16 Then all the survivors from the nations that came against Jerusalem will go up year after year to worship the King, the Lord of Hosts, and to celebrate the Festival of Booths.
