Zechariah 12:3
_ _ (Zechariah 14:4, Zechariah 14:6-9, Zechariah 14:13). Jerome states it was a custom in Palestine to test the strength of youths by their lifting up a massive stone; the phrase, “burden themselves with it,” refers to this custom. Compare Matthew 21:44 : The Jews “fell” on the rock of offense, Messiah, and were “broken”; but the rock shall fall on Antichrist, who “burdens himself with it” by his assault on the restored Jews, and “grind him to powder.”
_ _ all ... people of ... earth — The Antichristian confederacy against the Jews shall be almost universal. |
Zechariah 12:3
In that day — The day of the full accomplishment of this prophecy is a day known to the Lord. A burdensome stone — Too heavy for them, though many join together to remove it. |
