Zacarías 14:9

9 El Señor
será rey sobre toda la tierra. En aquel día habrá un solo Señor
y únicamente su nombre será adorado.

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 Sin embargo, ¡la luz del día será perpetua! Solo el Señor
sabe cómo esto podría suceder. No habrá días y noches como de costumbre, porque en las horas nocturnas todavía habrá luz.

8 En aquel día fluirán desde Jerusalén aguas que dan vida, la mitad hacia el mar Muerto y la otra mitad hacia el Mediterráneo;
brotarán continuamente, tanto en el verano como en el invierno.

9 El Señor
será rey sobre toda la tierra. En aquel día habrá un solo Señor
y únicamente su nombre será adorado.

10 Toda la tierra desde Geba, al norte de Judá, hasta Rimón, al sur de Jerusalén, se convertirá en una inmensa llanura. Pero Jerusalén será levantada en su lugar original y estará poblada desde la puerta de Benjamín hasta el sitio de la puerta vieja, luego hasta la puerta de la Esquina, y desde la torre de Hananeel hasta las prensas de vino del rey.

11 Entonces Jerusalén, por fin a salvo, se llenará de gente y nunca más será maldecida ni destruida.
