Zacharia 2:12 Meaning and Commentary

Zechariah 2:12

And the Lord shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy
land
The Lord's people is his portion, and the lot of his inheritance; whom he has chosen, and calls as such, whether they be Jews or Gentiles; but here it seems to mean the believing Jews; who, it is very likely, upon their conversion, will be returned to their own land, here called "the holy land"; because formerly here the Lord's holy people dwelt, his holy sanctuary was, and his holy worship and ordinances were attended on; and where now he will possess and enjoy his people, and favour them with communion with himself: and shall choose Jerusalem again;
after long trodden down of the Gentiles; as it formerly was a place of divine worship, so it shall be again; and which will be performed in it in a more spiritual and evangelical manner than ever; or it may respect the people of the Jews, who, being called by grace, this will be a kind of a renovation of their election, and an evidence of it; see ( Romans 11:26-28 ) .

Zacharia 2:12 In-Context

10 Juich en verblijd u, gij dochter Sions; want zie, Ik kom, en Ik zal in het midden van u wonen, spreekt de HEERE.

11 En vele heidenen zullen te dien dage den HEERE toegevoegd worden, en zij zullen Mij tot een volk wezen; en Ik zal in het midden van u wonen; en gij zult weten, dat de HEERE der heirscharen mij tot u gezonden heeft.

12 Dan zal de HEERE Juda erven voor Zijn deel, in het heilige land, en Hij zal Jeruzalem nog verkiezen.

13 Zwijg, alle vlees, voor het aangezicht des HEEREN! want Hij is ontwaakt uit Zijn heilige woning.
