Zechariah 12:2 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. Jerusalem a cup of trembling - The Babylonians, who captivated and ruined the Jews, shall in their turn be ruined.

I incline to think that what is spoken in this chapter about the Jews and Jerusalem, belongs to the "glory of the latter times."

Shall be in the siege - This may refer to some war against the Church of Christ, such as that mentioned Revelation 20:9.
