Zacarías 14:6

6 Y acontecerá que en ese día no habrá luz clara, ni oscura.

Zacarías 14:6 Meaning and Commentary

Zechariah 14:6

And it shall come to pass in that day
Which shall precede the coming of Christ, both his spiritual and personal reign; for what follows will not agree with either state: [that] the light shall not be clear [nor] dark;
before the latter day glory it will be a darkish dispensation; not "clear", as in the first times of the Gospel, when the sun of righteousness appeared, and the shadows of the ceremonial law were removed, and the Gospel shone out in the ministry of Christ and his apostles; nor as at the reformation from Popery, when the morning star was given, ( Revelation 2:28 ) nor as it will be in the spiritual reign of Christ, when Zion's light will be come, and her watchmen will see eye to eye; when the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun seven fold as the light of seven days; and much less as will be in the kingdom state, when there will be no need of the sun or moon; or in the ultimate glory, when we shall see no more darkly through a glass, but face to face: and yet it will not be "dark", as it was with the Jews under the legal dispensation; and much less as with the Gentiles before the coming of Christ; or as in the dark times of Popery; it will be a sort of a twilight, both with respect to the light of doctrine, and of spiritual joy, comfort, and experience; which is much our case now. Some read the words, "there shall be no light, but cold and frost" F11; it will be a time of great coldness and lukewarmness, with regard to divine and spiritual things; iniquity will abound, and the love of many wax cold, ( Matthew 24:12 ) .

Zacarías 14:6 In-Context

4 Y se afirmarán sus pies en aquel día sobre el Monte de las Olivas, que está en frente de Jerusalén a la parte del oriente; y el Monte de las Olivas, se partirá por medio de sí hacia el oriente y hacia el occidente, haciendo un muy grande valle; y la mitad del monte se apartará hacia el norte, y la otra mitad hacia el mediodía.
5 Y huiréis al valle de los montes; porque el valle de los montes llegará hasta Azal; y huiréis de la manera que huisteis por causa del terremoto en los días de Uzías, rey de Judá; y vendrá el SEÑOR mi Dios, y todos sus santos con él.
6 Y acontecerá que en ese día no habrá luz clara, ni oscura.
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.
