Zechariah 14:21

Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the LORD of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of YEA, EVERY POT - even in private houses, as in the temple, shall be deemed holy, so universal shall be the consecration of all things and persons to Yahweh. AND ALL THEY THAT SACRIFICE SHALL COME AND TAKE OF THEM - as readily as they would take of the pots of the temple itself, whatever number they wanted for sacrifice. THERE SHALL BE NO MORE THE CANAANITE IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD OF HOSTS - no unclean or ungodly person, such as the accursed Canaanite was (; ;...

The Prophet explains here more clearly what we have already considered — that such would be the reverence for God, and the fear of him through the whole world, that whatever men undertook would be a sacrifice to him: he therefore says, that all the kettles, or pots, or vessels, would be sacred to God. And this is fulfilled when men regard this end — to glorify God through their whole life, as Paul exhorts us to do. (1 Corinthians 10:31.) Our provisions and our beds, and all other things, become then holy to God, when we really devote ourselves to him, and regard in all the actions of our life the end which I have mentioned, even to testify in truth that he is our God, and that we are under his guidance. By such comparisons then does Zechariah teach us, that men will be sacred to God; for nothing they touch shall be unclean, but what was before profane shall be sanctified to his glory. (1...

16-21 As it is impossible for all nations literally to come to Jerusalem once a year, to keep a feast, it is evident that a figurative meaning must here be applied. Gospel worship is represented by the keeping of the feast of tabernacles. Every day of a Christian's life is a day of the feast of tabernacles; every Lord's day especially is the great day of the feast; therefore every day let us worship the Lord of hosts, and keep every Lord's day with peculiar solemnity. It is just for God to withhold the blessings of grace from those who do not attend the means of grace. It is a sin that is its own punishment; those who forsake the duty, forfeit the privilege of communion with God. A time of complete peace and purity of the church will arrive. Men will carry on their common affairs, and their sacred services, upon the same holy principles of faith, love and obedience. Real holiness shall...

Verse Zechariah 14:21. _YEA, EVERY POT IN JERUSALEM_] "The utensils of the Jews shall be treated as _holy_, and the worshippers shall use them reverently. The idea of _preparing food_ in them (_they that - seethe_ _therein_) is taken from the custom of feasting after sacrifice. And no _trafficker_ (see Ezekiel 18:4) shall pollute the house of God, as was the custom when our blessed Lord cleansed the temple." - See _Newcome_. This is what is called the _Canaanite in the house of_ _God_. The _Canaanite_ is the _merchant_; and where such are tolerated in a place dedicated to Divine worship, _that_ is not the house of the _Lord of hosts_. In _churches_ and _chapels, collections_ may be made for the _simple purpose_ of suppo...

AND EVERY POT IN JERUSALEM AND IN JUDAH SHALL BE HOLINESS TO THE LORD - Everything is to be advanced in holiness. All the common utensils everywhere in the people of God shall not only be holy, but “holiness,” and capable of the same use as the vessels of the temple. AND THERE SHALL BE NO MORE THE CANAANITE IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD OF HOSTS - The actual Canaanite had long since ceased to be; the Gibeonites, the last remnant of them, had been absorbed among the people of God. But “all Israel” were not “of Israel.” Isaiah had called its princes and people, “rulers of Sodom, people of Gomorrah” Isaiah 1:10. Ezekiel had said, “Thus saith the Lord God unto Jerusalem; Thy birth and thy nativity is of the land of Canaan; thy father was an Amorite, and thy mother a Hittite”...

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

YEA, EVERY POT IN JERUSALEM AND IN JUDAH SHALL BE HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD OF HOSTS,.... Such will be the number of sacrifices and sacrificers, that the pots in the Lord's house will not be sufficient; wherefore every pot, in city or country, shall be sanctified and devoted to holy uses: AND ALL THEY THAT SACRIFICE SHALL COME AND TAKE OF THEM, AND SEETHE THEREIN; this denotes, as before, the general holiness of the professors of religion in those times; and that there will be no difference in the vessels of the Lord's house, or any distinction of Jew and Gentile; but they will be all spiritual worshippers, and offer up the spiritual sacrifices of prayer and praise to the Lord: AND IN THAT DAY THERE SHALL BE NO MORE THE CANAANITE IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD OF HOSTS; the Targum paraphrases it, "there shall be no more a merchant in the house of the sanctuary of the Lord;'' in the temple, wh...

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

This is the word which, divided into two in Zechariah 11:7; Zechariah 11:11, is rendered "the poor of the flock". As one word it means merchant, or trafficker; but it is also used
