Commentary on Zechariah 12:8

Theological / Devotional

As David. These promises of conquering might were to have met fulfillment in the remnant of Judah. It was hoped that after their return from captivity they would cooperate fully with the purposes of Heaven. A nation thus stayed upon God is invincible. The individual, too, may claim these promises in his battles against temptation and in his conquests for the Lord (see DA 250, 251).

On the application of this prophecy to the Christian church see Vol. IV, pp. 35, 36; AA 48.
