2. gather all nations, c.—The prophecy seems literal (compare :- ). If Antichrist be the leader of the nations, it seems inconsistent with the statement that he will at this time be sitting in the temple as God at Jerusalem ( :- ) thus Antichrist outside would be made to besiege Antichrist within the city. But difficulties do not set aside revelations: the event will clear up seeming difficulties. Compare the complicated movements, Daniel 11:1-45 . half . . . the residue —In Zechariah 13:8 ; Zechariah 13:9 , it is "two-thirds" that perish, and "the third " escapes. There, however, it is "in all the land "; here it is "half of the city. " Two-thirds of the " whole people " perish, one-third survives. One-half of the citizens are led captive, the residue are not cut off. Perhaps, too, we ought to translate, "a (not 'the') residue." return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-3" class="com-number"
