Contextual Overview

¹ Then the word of the Lord who rules over all came to me as follows: ² "The Lord who rules over all says, ‘I am very much concerned for Zion; indeed, I am so concerned for her that my rage will fall on those who hurt her.' ³ The Lord says, ‘I have returned to Zion and will live within Jerusalem. Now Jerusalem will be called "truthful city," "mountain of the Lord who rules over all," "holy mountain."' ⁴ Moreover, the Lord who rules over all says, ‘Old men and women will once more live in the plazas of Jerusalem, each one leaning on a cane because of advanced age. ⁵ And the streets of the city will be full of boys and girls playing. ⁶ And,' says the Lord who rules over all, ‘though such a thing may seem to be difficult in the opinion of the small community of those days, will it also appear difficult to me?' asks the Lord who rules over all. ⁷ "The Lord who rules over all asserts, ‘I am about to save my people from the lands of the east and the west. ⁸ And I will bring them to settle within Jerusalem. They will be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and righteousness.'

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Again the word of the Lord of hosts came [to me] saying. The phrase, "to me", is wanting in the Hebrew text; and is the only place it is wanting in, as the Masora observes; though undoubtedly it is to be understood; and therefore is rightly supplied, as it is by the Targum, "with me". Mention being made in the latter part of the preceding chapter Zechariah 7:8 of the desolations of the earth, comfort is here administered, as Aben Ezra notes.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Dionysius: “After the Lord had, in the preceding chapter, manifoldly rebuked the Jewish people, He now comforts it with renewed promises, as a good physician, who after a bitter draught employs sweet and soothing remedies; as that most loving Samaritan poured in wine and oil.” The chapter falls into two portions, each marked by the words, The Word of the Lord of hosts came or came unto me, the first Zechariah 8:1-17 declaring the reversal of the former judgments, and the complete, though conditional, restoration of God’s favor; the 2nd Zechariah 8:18-23 containing the answer to the original question as to those fasts, in the declaration of the joy and the spread of the Gospel. The first portion has, again, a sevenfold, the second, a threefold subordinate division; marked by the beginning, “Thus saith the Lord of hosts.”

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER VIII

In this chapter God promises the continuance of his favour to

those who are returned from the captivity; so that upon the

removal of his judgments, the fasts they had observed during

the captivity may now be converted to so many occasions of

rejoicing. He likewise promises in due time a general

restoration of his people, and the enlargement of the Church

by the accession of the Gentiles, 1-20.

The conclusion of the chapter intimates farther that the Jews,

after their restoration, will be instrumental in converting

many other nations, 21-23.

Compare Romans 11:15-16.
