Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Zechariah 14:7

_ _ one day — a day altogether unique, different from all others [Maurer]. Compare “one,” that is, unique (Song of Songs 6:9; Jeremiah 30:7). Not as Henderson explains, “One continuous day, without night” (Revelation 22:5; Revelation 21:25); the millennial period (Revelation 20:3-7).

_ _ known to ... Lord — This truth restrains man’s curiosity and teaches us to wait the Lord’s own time (Matthew 24:36).

_ _ not day, nor night — answering to “not ... clear nor ... dark” (Zechariah 14:6); not altogether daylight, yet not the darkness of night.

_ _ at evening ... shall be light — Towards the close of this twilight-like time of calamity, “light” shall spring up (Psalms 97:11; Psalms 112:4; Isaiah 30:26; Isaiah 60:19, Isaiah 60:20).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Zechariah 14:1-7.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Zechariah 14:7

One day — One continued day, no setting of the sun to make it quite night: God will always act in order to the full salvation of his spiritual Jerusalem. Known unto the Lord — The Lord knows when it shall begin, and how, and when it shall end.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Zechariah 14:7

But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, (h) not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, [that] at evening it shall be light.

(h) Signifying, that there would be great troubles in the Church, and that the time of it is in the Lord's hands, yet at length (which is here meant by the evening) God would send comfort.
