“At Evening Time It Shall Be Light”
Zec 14:1-21
We can hardly doubt that in Zec 14:1-21, Zechariah is anticipating the same events as Ezekiel describes in Eze 38:1-23; Eze 39:1-29 of his remarkable book. At first the attack of the enemies of God’s people will be entirely successful, then Jesus will appear to them and for them. There will be a literal fulfillment of Act 1:11 and Isa 25:9-10. It was when his brethren were in their greatest straits that Joseph made himself known to them, and when the Jews are in dire extremity, they will hear Him say, “I am Jesus your Brother.” See Gen 45:1-15. Finally the long stormy days of Israel’s history will be over forever, and “at evening time it shall be light.” It is clear that Paul’s vision in Rom 11:1-36 is to be gloriously realized.
