Zacarías 14:9

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

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 Y será un día, el cual es conocido del SEÑOR, que ni será día ni noche; mas acontecerá que al tiempo de la tarde habrá luz

8 Acontecerá también en aquel día, que saldrán de Jerusalén aguas vivas; la mitad de ellas hacia el mar oriental, y la otra mitad hacia el mar occidental, en verano y en invierno

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

10 Y toda la tierra se tornará como llanura desde Gabaa hasta Rimón al mediodía de Jerusalén; y ésta será enaltecida, y será habitada en su lugar desde la puerta de Benjamín hasta el lugar de la puerta primera, hasta la puerta de los rincones; y desde la torre de Hananeel hasta los lagares del rey

11 Y morarán en ella, y nunca más será anatema, sino que será Jerusalén habitada confiadamente
