Zechariah 14:11

And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited. AND THERE SHALL BE NO MORE UTTER DESTRUCTION - (Jeremiah 31:40). literally, no more curse [ cheerem (H2764)] (Revelation 22:3: cf. Malachi 4:6), for there will be no more sin. Temporal. blessings and spiritual prosperity shall go together in the millennium: long life (Isaiah 65:20), peace (Isaiah 2:4), honour ...

Zechariah concludes what he said in the last verse by saying, that Jerusalem when restored by God to its pristine state would be a populous city, for the indefinite verb here used means the same as though he had said, that the number of people would be as great as it had been before, though a small portion only had returned. We indeed know how difficult it is to fill a city with inhabitants when once deserted, especially after a long interval of time. But the Prophet here exhorts the Jews to entertain hope, for the Lord would gather again a large number of men, so as to fill the city with inhabitants. He adds, _there shall be no more utter destruction _(191) By the word חרם, _cherem_, I have no doubt, the Prophet means all utter ruin, such as had happened when the people were driven into exile. And for this reason and in the same sense, Isaiah says, that God had sworn that the destructio...

8-15 Some consider that the progress of the gospel, beginning from Jerusalem, is referred to by the living waters flowing from that city. Neither shall the gospel and means of grace, nor the graces of the Spirit wrought in the hearts of believers by those means, ever fail, by reason either of the heat of persecution, or storms of temptation, or the blasts of any other affliction. Tremendous judgments appear to be foretold, to be sent upon those who should oppose the settlement of the Jews in their own land. How far they are to be understood literally, events alone can determine. The furious rage and malice which stir up men against each other, are faint shadows of the enmity which reigns among those who have perished in their sins. Even the inferior creatures often suffer for the sin of man, and in his plagues. Thus God will show his displeasure against sin....

Verse Zechariah 14:11. _THERE SHALL BE NO MORE UTTER DESTRUCTION_] After this final restoration of Jerusalem it shall never more be destroyed; but as this was the _first city_ of the living God upon earth, so shall it be _the last_; it shall be _safely inhabited_. It shall see war no more....

AND THEY SHALL DWELL IN IT - In peace, going forth from it, neither into “captivity,” nor in flight Zechariah 14:2, Zechariah 14:5; for God should exempt from curse the city which He had chosen, against which the gates of hell shall not prevail, and He says of the heavenly Jerusalem, “there shall be no more curse” Revelation 22:3....

EXPOSITION ZECHARIAH 14:1, ZECHARIAH 14:2 § 5. The afflictions of the people and their results are set forth in figure and symbol. _Jerusalem is represented as taken and plundered._ ZECHARIAH 14:1 THE DAY OF THE LORD; _a day of _(or, _to_) _Jehovah cometh. _The Greek and Latin Versions have the plural, "days of the Lord come." It is a time when he will specially manifest his glory and power, and be recognized as allowing the trial of his people for wise purposes. It is impossible to fix on any historical fulfilment of this prophecy. The details suit neither Maccabean no

AND [MEN] SHALL DWELL IN IT,.... In great numbers, in much peace and safety, and from generation to generation: Aben Ezra says, Messiah the son of David will now come: AND THERE SHALL BE NO MORE UTTER DESTRUCTION; no wars, nor desolations by them, in a civil sense; there shall be no more killing, as the Targum, Isaiah 2:4 no "cherem", no anathema, in a religious sense; in the old translation it is, "and there shall be no more cursing"; there will be no curse in the Jerusalem state, Revelation 22:3 which words seem to be taken from hence; no cursed thing, nor cursed person, or any curse or anathema denounced against any; no Popish bulls and anathemas, nor any other: BUT JERUSALEM SHALL BE SAFELY INHABITED; the inhabitants of it shall dwell securely, without

ZECHARIAH 14. THE TRIBULATION OF THE STRUGGLE AGAINST HEATHENISM AND THE GLORIOUS FUTURE WHICH MAY BE ANTICIPATED. It is noteworthy that the writer considers the plundering of Jerusalem as a day of the Lord. Zechariah 14:1 f. describes the affliction of Jerusalem up to the time of the Maccabæ an successes which are referred to in Zechariah 14:3. The sense of what follows is hopelessly obscure in MT and EV owing to the mispronunciation of the Heb. consonants in Zechariah 14:5. The thought of flight is here altogether out of place. Following the pro nunciation adopted in LXX, we may render Zechariah 14:5 as follows: And the vall
