Context of Zechariah 14:9

7It will be a unique day known only to the LORD, without day or night; but when evening comes, there will be light. 8And on that day living water will flow out from Jerusalem, half of it toward the Eastern Sea and the other half toward the Western Sea, in summer and winter alike. On that day the LORD will become King over all the earth—the LORD alone, and His name alone. 10All the land from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem will be turned into a plain, but Jerusalem will be raised up and will remain in her place, from the Benjamin Gate to the site of the First Gate to the Corner Gate, and from the Tower of Hananel to the royal winepresses. 11People will live there, and never again will there be an utter destruction. So Jerusalem will dwell securely.

Commentaries on Zechariah 14:9

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 9And the Lord shall be King - When this universal diffusion of Divine knowledge shall take place. Wherever it goes, the laws of God shall be acknowledged; and, consequently, he shall be King over the whole earth. One Lord, and his name one - There shall be in those blessed days, only one religion, and one form of religion. There shall not be gods many, and lords many.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 9And the Lord shall be king over all the earth - Such should be the influence of the living water, that is, of the Spirit of God.

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 8-15Verses 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…Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 9the LORD will become King: Zechariah looks ahead to the final fulfillment of many psalms that celebrate the Lord as king (see Psalms 47–48, 93, 97–99). the LORD alone: This promise restates Israel’s central confession of faith (Deuteronomy 6:4). It points to a future time when all idolatry (the worship of false gods) will completely end.Read the comment
