Zacarias 12:6

Listen to Zacarias 12:6
6 »En aquel día convertiré a los jefes de Judá en un brasero ardiente dentro de un bosque, en una antorcha encendida entre las gavillas. A diestra y a siniestra devorarán a todos los pueblos vecinos, pero Jerusalén misma volverá a ser habitada.

Zacarias 12:6 Meaning and Commentary

Zechariah 12:6

In that day will I make the governors of Judah like a
hearth of fire among the wood
As a large hearth of fire, with wood all about it, devours and consumes it; so shall the governors of Judah be to the nations that shall come up against Jerusalem. The Targum renders it,

``as a garment of fire among wood:''

and like a torch of fire in a sheaf;
of wheat, which presently destroys it; see ( Obadiah 1:18 ) :

and they shall devour all the people round about, on the right hand
and on the left;
on the south and on the north, as the Targum interprets it. The phrase denotes the utter destruction of the people on all sides:

and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, [even] in
Jerusalem;
upon that very spot of ground which was formerly called Jerusalem shall the city be built again, and inhabited; and shall continue, notwithstanding the attempts of all the nations of the earth to destroy it; see ( Jeremiah 30:18 ) .

Zacarias 12:6 In-Context

4 »En aquel día espantaré a todos los caballos y enloqueceré a sus jinetes —afirma el SEÑOR—. Me mantendré vigilante sobre Judá, pero dejaré ciegos a los caballos de todas las naciones.
5 Entonces los jefes de Judá proclamarán: “La fortaleza de los habitantes de Jerusalén es su Dios, el SEÑORTodopoderoso”.
6 »En aquel día convertiré a los jefes de Judá en un brasero ardiente dentro de un bosque, en una antorcha encendida entre las gavillas. A diestra y a siniestra devorarán a todos los pueblos vecinos, pero Jerusalén misma volverá a ser habitada.
7 El SEÑOR salvará primero las viviendas de Judá, para que no sea mayor la gloria de la casa real de David, y la de los habitantes de Jerusalén, que la de Judá.
8 »En aquel día yo, el SEÑOR, protegeré a los habitantes de Jerusalén. El más débil entre ellos será como David, y la casa real de David será como Dios mismo, como el ángel del SEÑOR que marcha al frente de ellos.
