Gill's Notes on the Bible
And it shall come to pass, [that] in all the land, saith the Lord,.... Either in all the land of Israel, as Kimchi interprets it; or rather in all the world, as Aben Ezra and others; for this prophecy seems to have respect, not to the calamities of the Jews at the destruction of Jerusalem, after the death of Christ, when a few were saved, a remnant according to the election of grace, yet so as by fire, for whose sake the days of tribulation were shortened; but to the external state of the church, and the trouble of it throughout Christendom, about the time of the destruction of antichrist:
two parts therein shall be cut off [and] die; all hypocrites, formalists, and outward court worshippers; who seem as if they would be at this time two thirds of the professors of true religion; who will not be able to stand the hour of temptation that will come upon all the earth, to try the inhabitants of it; which will be the last struggle of the beast of Rome, Revelation 3:10 but will be twice dead, plucked up by the roots; will die to the profession of religion, and be cut off from the people of God, and have no more a name with them:
but the third shall be left therein; the few names in Sardis, which have not defiled their garments; the hundred forty and four thousand that will stand with Christ, and by him, on Mount Zion, being redeemed from among men, Revelation 3:4 compare with this Revelation 16:19.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
In all the land, two parts therein shall be cut off and die - âIn all the land of Israel,â says a Jewish interpreter; (Kimchi); â - the land, in which the Good Shepherd had been slain and the sheep scattered, âthat upon you.â our Lord had said, âmay come all the righteous blood.â As David punished Moab, âwith two lines measured he to put to death, and with one full line to keep aliveâ 2 Samuel 8:2; and Ezekiel prophesied, âA third part of thee shall die with the pestilence, and with famine shall they be consumed in the midst of thee: and a third part shall fall by the sword round about theeâ Ezekiel 5:12; so now, the greater part should be destroyed, but a remnant should be saved. âBut the third part shall be left therein. Even so then at this present time also,â Paul says, âthere is a remnant according to the election of graceâ Romans 11:5. Osorius: âThe third part only shall be saved from the common destruction; yet not so, that they should suppose that glory was to be obtained amid ease.â
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Zechariah 13:8. Two parts therein shall be cut off — In the war with the Romans.
But the third shall be left — Those who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ shall be preserved alive; and not one of these perished in the siege, or afterwards, by those wars.
