Zechariah 14:13

13 in die illo erit tumultus Domini magnus in eis et adprehendet vir manum proximi sui et conseretur manus eius super manum proximi sui

Zechariah 14:13 Meaning and Commentary

Zechariah 14:13

And it shall come to pass in that day
When the vials are pouring out:

[that] a great tumult from the Lord shall be among them;
the Targum renders it, a great tumult, or noise of killing; and the Septuagint, an ecstasy: it refers to the earthquake, and the slaughter of seven thousand men of name, and the fright upon that, ( Revelation 11:13 )

and they shall lay hold everyone on the hand of his neighbour, and
shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour;
there will be a revolution, upon this tumult, in several of the antichristian states; and the kings of them shall hate the whore, make her desolate, eat her flesh, and burn her with fire, ( Revelation 17:16 ) or, "his hand shall be cut off by the hand of his neighbour" F21; see ( Zechariah 11:17 ) , the power of antichrist shall be destroyed by neighbouring Christian princes.

Zechariah 14:13 In-Context

11 et habitabunt in ea et anathema non erit amplius sed sedebit Hierusalem secura
12 et haec erit plaga qua percutiet Dominus omnes gentes quae pugnaverunt adversus Hierusalem tabescet caro uniuscuiusque stantis super pedes suos et oculi eius contabescent in foraminibus suis et lingua eorum contabescet in ore suo
13 in die illo erit tumultus Domini magnus in eis et adprehendet vir manum proximi sui et conseretur manus eius super manum proximi sui
14 sed et Iudas pugnabit adversus Hierusalem et congregabuntur divitiae omnium gentium in circuitu aurum et argentum et vestes multae satis
15 et sic erit ruina equi et muli cameli et asini et omnium iumentorum quae fuerint in castris illis sicut ruina haec
