Zechariah 14:2
_ _ gather all nations, etc. — The prophecy seems literal (compare Joel 3:2). If Antichrist be the leader of the nations, it seems inconsistent with the statement that he will at this time be sitting in the temple as God at Jerusalem (2 Thessalonians 2:4); thus Antichrist outside would be made to besiege Antichrist within the city. But difficulties do not set aside revelations: the event will clear up seeming difficulties. Compare the complicated movements, Daniel 11:1-45.
_ _ half ... the residue — In Zechariah 13:8, Zechariah 13:9, it is “two-thirds” that perish, and “the third” escapes. There, however, it is “in all the land”; here it is “half of the city.” Two-thirds of the “whole people” perish, one-third survives. One-half of the citizens are led captive, the residue are not cut off. Perhaps, too, we ought to translate, “a (not ‘the’) residue.” |
Zechariah 14:2
All nations — The Romans who at that time had the rule over all the nations of that part of the world. The residue — That small number of the Jews who were spared by Titus. Shall not be cut off — Were not forbidden to dwell about the city. |

Luke 21:20-24 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. ...
