Who is ruling in Jerusalem in Zechariah 8:23?
Jehovah God is ruling in Jerusalem. He is the King of Israel and King over all the earth. This takes place when the tribulation has passed and the King sits on the holy hill of Zion, as Zechariah 8:23 describes in the context of Gentiles seeking the Lord.
Les teaches that Zechariah 8:23 is set in the days when Jehovah God is ruling in Jerusalem. He is the King of Israel and King over all the earth, as Daniel had said. His knowledge shall cover the earth as water covers the sea when that comes to pass. This follows the tribulation, when the King sits on the holy hill of Zion. The passage shows many people and strong nations, Gentiles, coming to seek the Lord of hosts in Jerusalem. It also points to Israel's prospective role in that kingdom.
Thus saith the LORD of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you.
