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 And this will be the plague [with] which Yahweh will strike all the peoples that fight against Jerusalem: their flesh will rot while they [are] standing on their feet; their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths.
13 {And then} on that day a great panic from Yahweh will fall on them, and {they will seize one another's hand}, and the hand of the one will be raised against the hand of {another}.
14 And Judah also will fight at Jerusalem. And the wealth of all the surrounding nations will be collected--gold and silver, and garments {in great abundance}.
15 {Like this plague} will be the plague on the horse, the mule, the camel, and the donkey, and every kind of animal in those camps.
16 {And then} every survivor from all those nations coming against Jerusalem will go up year after year to worship [the] king, Yahweh of hosts, and celebrate the Feast of Booths.
