Proverbs 14:18 The Jews did not see Jesus restoring the land or silencing the enemies of the church. "The Lord’s portion is his people. God will inherit Judah again as his portion, will claim his interest, and recover the possession out of the hands of those that had invaded his right. He will protect his people and govern them as a man does his inheritance, and will be at home among them. He will choose Jerusalem again, as he had chosen it formerly, to put his name there; he will renew and confirm the choice, and continue it a chosen place, till it must resign its honours to the Jerusalem that is from above. Though the election seemed to be set aside for a while, yet it shall obtain. Here is silence proclaimed to all the world besides, v. 13. The daughter of Zion must sing, but all flesh must be silent. Observe here, A very awful description of God’s appearances for the relief of his people. He is raised up out of his holy habitation; as a man out of sleep (Ps. 44:23; 78:65), or as a man entering with resolution upon a business that he will go through with. Heaven is his holy habitation above; thence we must expect him to appear, Isa. 64:1. His temple is so in this lower world; thence from between the cherubim he will shine forth, Ps. 80:1. He is about to do something unusual, unexpected, and very surprising, and to plead his people’s cause, which had long seemed neglected. A seasonable caution and direction at such a time: Be silent, O all flesh! before the Lord—before Christ and his grace (let not flesh object against the methods he takes)—before God and his providence; the enemies of the church shall be silenced; all iniquity shall stop her mouth. The friends of the church also must be silent. Leave it to God to take his own way, and neither prescribe to him what he should do nor quarrel with him whatever he does. Be still, and know that he is God. Stand still, and see his salvation. See Hab. 2:20; Zep. 1:7. Silently acquiesce in his holy will, and patiently wait the issue, as those who are assured that when God is raised up out of his holy habitation he will not retreat, nor sit down again, till he has accomplished his whole work. " Henry,Matthew. "Commentary on Zechariah 2." |

I hope this is much clearer; You guys apparently are not to familar with the bible without explanation so here goes..These were the promises of a messiah, he gave to the Hebrews in the OT. "and that he will choose Jerusalem again, as he had chosen it formerly, to put his name there; he will renew and confirm the choice, and continue it a chosen place, till it must resign its honours to the Jerusalem that is from above". Heaven is his holy habitation above; thence WE MUST EXPECT HIM TO APPEAR, Isa. 64:1. Silently acquiesce in his holy will, and patiently wait the issue, as those who are assured that when God is raised up OUT OF HIS HOLY HABITATION(like you know, a place called HEAVEN) he will not retreat, nor sit down again, till he has accomplished his whole work (You know like, Here on EARTH "the meek shall inherit the EARTH", Psalms 37:11,in the Future of these writers).see Hab. 2:20; Zep. 1:7. Read Psalms 22 the whole chapter describes Christ. Like in the NT Galatians 3:29 And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise. | ||||||
