Berean Study Bible

Then all the survivors
This phrase indicates a remnant, a group of people who have endured a significant event. In the Hebrew context, the word for "survivors" (שָׁאָר, sha'ar) often refers to those who remain after a divine judgment or calamity. This remnant theme is prevalent throughout the Old Testament, symbolizing hope and continuity of God's promises despite adversity.

from all the nations
The inclusion of "all the nations" signifies a universal scope. Historically, this reflects the prophetic vision of the Gentiles being included in God's redemptive plan. The Hebrew word for nations, גּוֹיִם (goyim), often refers to non-Israelite peoples, indicating a future where God's kingdom transcends ethnic and national boundaries.

that came against Jerusalem
This phrase recalls the eschatological battle where nations gather against Jerusalem, a recurring theme in prophetic literature. Jerusalem, the city of God, symbolizes God's presence and His covenant with His people. The historical context of Jerusalem being besieged numerous times underscores the city's central role in God's salvific history.

will go up year after year
The phrase "will go up" (עָלָה, alah) is often used in the context of pilgrimage, particularly to Jerusalem. The repetition "year after year" emphasizes the perpetual and ongoing nature of this worship, suggesting a new era of devotion and acknowledgment of God's sovereignty.

to worship the King, the LORD of Hosts
Here, "the King" and "the LORD of Hosts" (יהוה צְבָאוֹת, Yahweh Tseva'ot) are titles that affirm God's supreme authority and command over heavenly armies. This dual title underscores God's majesty and power, inviting all nations to recognize His kingship and divine rule.

and to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles
The Feast of Tabernacles, or Sukkot, is a Jewish festival commemorating the Israelites' wilderness journey and God's provision. In this prophetic vision, the celebration by all nations signifies a future fulfillment where God's provision and presence are universally acknowledged. The historical and agricultural aspects of the feast, which include themes of harvest and thanksgiving, further symbolize spiritual abundance and divine blessing.

Pulpit Commentary

Verses 16-19. - § 9. Warned by these manifestations of God's power, the residue of the heathen shall be converted, and shall join with the Hebrews in the regular worship of Jehovah. Verse 16. - Every one that is left. All the heathen that attacked the holy city shall not be destroyed; the remnant saved small become subjects of the Divine kingdom. Shall go up. This is the usual phrase for going to Jerusalem for the purpose of worship (comp. Isaiah 2:2, 3; Micah 4:2; Luke 2:42; John 7:8). The prophet here and in the following clause speaks as a Jew to Jews, who knew and observed only the prescribed form of worship. It is evident that the announcement could never be literally fulfilled; the Gentile world could never come yearly to pay their devotions at Jerusalem. The prediction can only signify that under Messiah's reign the Gentiles shall be converted to true religion and worship God in regular, orderly fashion, the prophet intimating this in terms derived from the old dispensation, which had the Divine sanction. The Feast of Tabernacles. The Israelites were required to appear before the Lord three times in the year (Exodus 23:17; Deuteronomy 16:16) - at the festivals of the Passover, Pentecost, and Tabernacles. But the Gentiles are here required to present themselves only once. The Feast of Tabernacles is chosen for this occasion owing to its peculiar character and the associations connected with it. It commemorated not only the ingathering of the harvest, but also Israel's sojourn in the wilderness and tide Divine protection there accorded to them, and their entrance into tide promised land; it was therefore a fitting symbol of the rescue of the Gentiles from the devil's kingdom, and their entry into the Church of God, where they enjoyed the blessings of God's grace and protection. It was also a more catholic feast, in one sense, titan the Passover or Pentecost, not being so distinctively Jewish, but one which all nations could keep in gratitude to the Giver of material benefits. We must remember, also, that it was at this feast that our Lord cried (John 7:37), "If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink," and likewise he declared himself to be "the Light of the world" (John 8:12), wishing us, it may be, to understand that this feast was the one we should need to keep, being the one which specially sets him forth as the Sustainer and Guide through life's pilgrimage.
