John Calvin's
Commentary on Zechariah.
 | "It was therefore not without meaning that hedirected his word to the
faithful only, who were not only captives,but also captives having hope." |
|
| From the Geneva Notes.
| "(9.11) Meaning Jerusalem, or the Church which is saved by the blood of Christ, of
which the blood of the sacrifices was a figure. And it is here called the covenant of the
Church, because God made it with his Church: and left it with them because of the love
that he had for them." |
|
| From
Matthew Henry's
Commentary.
| "But his kingdom is a spiritual kingdom. It shall not be advanced by
outward force or carnal weapons." |
|
| From
Wesley's
Notes.
| "When the Messiah comes and sets up his kingdom, he will need no external
force. Neither chariot, bow nor sword, brought salvation to him, neither shall they be
mentioned in the day of his conquest." |
|
| From the
Commentary on the Whole Bible
(Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).
| "This contrasts beautifully with the haughty Grecian conqueror who came to
destroy, whereas Messiah came to save." |

Zechariah 9:9-12, James Limburg, Preaching This Week, WorkingPreacher.org, 2008.

"For me at least,
this is one of those biblical texts that cannot be read without
hearing music. In the midst of puzzling over the visions and sayings
of Zechariah, it comes as a refreshing surprise to find the words of
our lectionary text for today." |

pregnant possibility that we will be victorious over the powers and
principalities that have oppressed and abused us. We have hope

will save us, despite our troubles. This is the promise Zechariah
presented to the people. And the promise God gives to us now." |
