Zacarías 12:6

Listen to Zacarías 12:6
6 En aquel día pondré los capitanes de Judá como un brasero de fuego en leña, y como una hacha de fuego en gavillas; y consumirán á diestra y á siniestra todos los pueblos alrededor: y Jerusalem será otra vez habitada en su lugar, en Jerusalem.

Zacarías 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 ) .

Zacarías 12:6 In-Context

4 En aquel día, dice Jehová, heriré con aturdimiento á todo caballo, y con locura al que en él sube; mas sobre la casa de Judá abriré mis ojos, y á todo caballo de los pueblos heriré con ceguera.
5 Y los capitanes de Judá dirán en su corazón: Mi fuerza son los moradores de Jerusalem en Jehová de los ejércitos su Dios.
6 En aquel día pondré los capitanes de Judá como un brasero de fuego en leña, y como una hacha de fuego en gavillas; y consumirán á diestra y á siniestra todos los pueblos alrededor: y Jerusalem será otra vez habitada en su lugar, en Jerusalem.
7 Y librará Jehová las tiendas de Judá primero, porque la gloria de la casa de David y del morador de Jerusalem no se engrandezca sobre Judá.
8 En aquel día Jehová defenderá al morador de Jerusalem: y el que entre ellos fuere flaco, en aquel tiempo será como David; y la casa de David como ángeles, como el ángel de Jehová delante de ellos.
