Gill's Notes on the Bible
And many nations shall be joined to the Lord in that day,.... The Gospel will be preached in all nations, and multitudes will be converted, and embrace and profess the Christian religion, and join themselves to the churches of Christ, which, in the New Testament, is expressed by being joined to the Lord, Acts 5:13 see
Jeremiah 50:5:
and shall be my people; shall appear to be so, who before were not the people of God; did not profess themselves, and were not known to be, the people of God, though they secretly were in the counsel and covenant of God; but now, being called by grace, they become openly and manifestly his people, 1 Peter 2:10:
and I will dwell in the midst of thee; in the church, consisting of people of many nations, as well as of Jews:
and thou shall know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me unto thee; to the Jews, as well as to the Gentiles; 1 Peter 2:10- :.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
And many nations shall join themselves - cleaving to Him by a close union. Isaiah had so spoken of single proselytes Isaiah 56:3-6; Jeremiah had used the word of Israelâs self-exhortation after the return from Babylon; âgoing and weeping,â they shall go and seek the Lord their God, saying, âCome and let us join ourselves unto the Lord, in a perpetual covenant that shall not be forgottenâ Jeremiah 50:4-5. This Zechariah now predicts of âmany nations.â The Jews were scarcely half-restored themselves, a mere handful. They had wrought no conversions among the pagan, yet prophecy continues its unbroken voice, âmany nations shall join themselves unto the Lord.â
And shall be My people - Literally, âbe to Me a people.â This is exactly the history of the Christian church, unity amid diversity; many nations still retaining their national existence, yet owned by God as one people and His own. The words are those in which God adopted Israel in Egypt; âI will take you to Me for a people, and I will be your Godâ Exodus 6:7. This was the covenant with them, âthat thou shouldest enter into covenant with the Lord thy God, that He may establish thee today for a people unto Himself, and that he may be unto thee a Godâ (Deuteronomy 29:12-13, add Leviticus 26:12; Deu 27:9; 1 Samuel 12:22; 2 Samuel 7:23-24; 2 Kings 11:17; 1Ch 17:22; 2 Chronicles 23:16; Jeremiah 7:23; Jeremiah 11:4). The contrary was the title of the pagan, ânot a people; with whom God said, I will move Israel to jealousyâ Deuteronomy 32:21. The closeness of union Jeremiah expresses; âAs the girdle cleaveth to the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave to Me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, saith the Lord, that they might be unto Me for a people and for a name and for a praise and for a gloryâ Jeremiah 13:11. This was the object of the existence of Israel; to this it was to be restored Jeremiah 24:7; Jeremiah 30:22; Jeremiah 31:1; Jeremiah 32:38 by conversion Ezekiel 11:20; Ezekiel 14:11; Ezekiel 36:28; Ezekiel 37:23, Ezekiel 37:27; Zechariah 8:8; to this special privilege of Israel âmany nationsâ were to be admitted; yet not so as to be separate from Israel, for He adds, âand I will dwell in, the midst of thee,â Judah. God would dwell in His Church, formed of Israel and the Gentiles, yet so that the Gentiles should be grafted into Israel, becoming one with them.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Zechariah 2:11. Many nations shall be joined to the Lord — This most certainly belongs to the Christian church. No nation or people ever became converts to the Jewish religion, but whole nations have embraced the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ.
