I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.
If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?
Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And I will bring the third part through the fire,.... Into tribulation, as the Targum explains it; or into great distresses, comparable to fire, as Kimchi observes; this is the hour of temptation that will be in the Philadelphian church state, Revelation 3:10. Daniel's time of trouble, such as there never was since there was a nation, Daniel 12:1 and the time of the slaying of the witnesses, Revelation 11:7:
and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried; their graces, principles, and profession, will be tried; their dross and tin will be removed, and they will be purged and purified; a more pure and glorious state of the church will take place, in which there will be great purity of Gospel worship, discipline, and conversation; when the word will be more purely preached, the ordinances more purely administered, and the saints will live more holy lives and conversations, signified by the witnesses ascending up into heaven, Revelation 11:12:
they shall call on my name; which includes the whole of divine worship, and particularly designs prayer, that pure offering and incense, which shall now be offered to the name of the Lord in every place, Malachi 1:11 hence it follows,
and I will hear them; accept their prayers, and give an answer to them: so the Targum paraphrases the words,
"he shall pray in my name, and I will receive his prayer:''
I will say, It [is] my people; the Lord will make it appear to themselves and others that they are his special, peculiar, and covenant people, by calling them out of Babylon; by bestowing his favours upon them; and by granting his presence with them, as well as by the witnessing of his Spirit to them; see Revelation 18:4:
and they shall say, The Lord [is] my God: they shall know him to be their covenant God and Father, and claim their interest in him, and acknowledge him as such; which is the greatest happiness that can be enjoyed, Psalms 144:15.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
I will bring the third part through the fire - Such is always Godâs ways. âThou hast proved us, O God; Thou hast tried us, like as silver is tried. Thou broughtest us into the snare, Thou laidest trouble upon our loins: we went through fire and water, and Thou broughtest us out into a wealthy placeâ Psalms 66:9-11. âI have refined thee, but not with silver, I have chosen thee in the furnace of afflictionâ Isaiah 48:10; and, âThrough much tribulation we must enter into the kingdom of Godâ Acts 14:22.
Dionysius: âIn adversity virtue is most tried, and it is shown what advance a person has made; for âpatienceâ hath âa perfect workâ James 1:4; and it is called the touchstone of all other virtues, as is written; âGod tried His elect as gold in the furnace and received them as a burnt offeringâ ; and, âAll the faithful who have pleased the Lord have passed through many tribulationsâ . And the angel Raphael saith to Tobias, âBecause thou wert accepted of God, need was that temptation should prove theeâ .â âAdversities are granted to the elect of God, and therefore to be rejoiced in with the whole heart.â âFire, crosses, racks were prepared; swords executioners torturers were put in action; new forms of suffering were invented, and yet Christian virtue remained moveless, unconquered: the fiercer the onslaught, the more glorious was the triumph.â : âThe more suffered, the more believed in Christ.â Osorius: âWhose virtue they adimired, these they imitated, and shared the suffering, that they might be partakers of the glory. This was that fire, whereby God willed that His own should be tried and purified, that, with Christ whom they gave themselves to imitate, they might enjoy everlasting glory.â
I will bless him and will say, It is My people - Dionysius: ânot only by creation as the rest, but by devotion and worship, by predestination and infusion of grace, by singular Providence, by mutual love; âand it shall say, The Lord is my God,â whom alone above all things, I long for, love, worship.â
This promise is oftentimes renewed through the prophets, oftentimes fulfilled in Christ, whenever the Church is recalled from listlessness by fiery trials, and through them her children are restored to deeper devotedness and closer union with God.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Zechariah 13:9. I will bring the third part through the fire — The Christian Church shall endure a great fight of afflictions, by which they shall be refined-not consumed.
They shall call on my name — In this way shall they offer all their prayers and supplications to God.
I will say, It is my people — The Church that I have chosen in the place of the Jews who have filled up the measure of their iniquity.
And they shall say, The Lord is my God — And thus communion shall be established between me and them for ever. Thus there shall be a general restoration.
