Zechariah 14:7

“But it shall be one day, etc.] A very singular, remarkable, and uncommon one; and it will be but one day; things will not continue long in such a position: which shall be known to the Lord; all times and seasons are known unto the Lord, but this will come under his special notice and observation, and be under the direction of his special providence; it will only be taken notice of by him, and not by others; scarce any will observe it, or know what God is doing in it, or about to do: not day, nor night; not clear and full day, as at noon; nor yet quite night or dark, as at midnight; (see Gill on “<381406>Zechariah 14:6”): but it shall come to pass, [that] at evening time it shall be light;…”

“one day--a day altogether unique, different from all others [MAURER]. Compare "one," that is, unique (Sol 6:9; Jer 30:7). Not as HENDERSON explains, "One continuous day, without night" (Rev 22:5; Rev 21:25); the millennial period (Rev 20:3-7). known to . . . Lord--This truth restrains man's curiosity and teaches us to wait the Lord's own time (Mat 24:36). not day, nor night--answering to "not . . . clear nor . . . dark" (Zac 14:6); not altogether daylight, yet not the darkness of night. at evening . . . shall be light--Towards the close of this twilight-like time of calamity, "light" shall spring up (Psa 97:11; Psa 112:4; Isa 30:26; Isa 60:19-20).”

“And it shall be one day: it shall be known unto the Lord: not day, and not night; and at the eventide it shall be light - “One” special “day; one,” unlike all beside; known unto God, and to Him alone. For God alone knows the day of the consummation of all things, as He saith, “Of that day and that hour knoweth no one, neither the angels in Heaven, nor the Son, (so as to reveal it) but the Father only” Mark 13:32. Neither wholly “day,” because overclouded with darkness; nor wholly “night,” for the streaks of light burst through the darkness chequered of both; but in “eventide,” when all seems ready to sink into the thickest night, “there shall be light.” Divine light always breaks in, when…”

“One day - One continued day, no setting of the sun to make it quite night: God will always act in order to the full salvation of his spiritual Jerusalem. Known unto the Lord - The Lord knows when it shall begin, and how, and when it shall end. Zechariah 14:8”

“14:7 continuous day: The day of the Lord will bring fundamental changes to the created order (see Isa 60:19-22; Rev 21:22-25). This promise emphasizes that the sun and moon are created by God and are not eternal deities—light does not originate with them.”

“it shall be one day: or, the day shall be one, Rev 21:23, Rev 22:5 which: Psa 37:18; Mat 24:36; Mar 13:32; Act 1:7, Act 15:18, Act 17:26, Act 17:31; Th1 5:2 at: Isa 9:7, Isa 11:9, Isa 30:26, Isa 60:19, Isa 60:20; Dan 12:4; Hos 3:5; Rev 11:15, Rev 14:6; Rev 20:2-4, Rev 21:3 Zechariah 14:8”
