The predictions contained in this chapter seem to relate to events which gradually extend from the death of Christ to the glorious days of the millennium:--the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans, whose armies were composed of many nations, which was "the day of the Lord," in which he came "to destroy those who would not that he should reign over them," (ver. 1, 2;) the subversion of the Roman empire, after being the executioners of the Divine vengeance on the Jews, by God's stirring up the barbarous nations to invade them, (ver. 3;) the effusion of Divine knowledge from Jerusalem, by the promulgation of the Gospel, (ver. 4-9;) the rebuilding and replenishing of Jerusalem, (ver. 10, 11;) the destruction of the nations who shall fight against her, (ver. 12-15;) the conversion of the remnant of those nations to the Lord, (ver. 16-19;) and the peace and purity of the universal church in the latter days, (ver. 20, 21.)
