ZECHARIAH—NOTE ON Zechariah 8:19 Formerly, the people fasted in the fourth month, when their enemies had entered Jerusalem (2 Kings 25:3; Jeremiah 39:2; Jeremiah 52:6); in the fifth, when the city fell (Jeremiah 52:12); in the seventh, when Gedaliah was assassinated (2 Kings 25:25); and in the tenth, when the attack on the city had first begun (2 Kings 25:1). In the future, these fast days will become feast days. They will be seasons of joy and gladness celebrating the salvation and transformation that the Lord accomplished for them.
