Commentary

Commentary on Zechariah 14:16

Theological / Devotional

Shall even go up. The object of the divine blessing upon Israel was to give a demonstration of what God was willing to do for all nations. Overawed by recent happenings and assured of God’s willingness to accept the worship of all men, the survivors from the attacking nations would seek the God of Israel and go up year by year to worship at Jerusalem (see p. 30).

Feast of tabernacles. For a description of this feast see on Lev. 23:34, 40. Zechariah describes a stage in the restoration preliminary to the close of probation and the final eradication of sin and sinners, as events would have come to pass had the Jews been faithful (see pp. 29, 30). The same is true of certain passages in Isaiah (see on Isa. 65:17, 20).
