Commentary on Zechariah 8:23

Theological / Devotional

All languages. Representing a universal movement.

Take hold. An illustration further emphasizing the extent of the missionary movement. How tragic that the Israelites turned from their “glorious destiny, and selfishly appropriated to themselves that which would have brought healing and spiritual life to countless multitudes” (PK 705)

The lesson is for the “Israel of God” (Gal. 6:16). God is now accomplishing His purposes through His church on earth (see pp. 35, 36). Its members are to disseminate the light of truth to all nations (Rev. 14:6). In their personal lives they are to make the religion of Jesus Christ so attractive that others will be drawn to surrender their lives to the Saviour. God’s church is now to be a blessing to the world (Zech. 8:13).
