Matthew Poole and continuators on Zechariah 12:3

3 And [illegible: 1 letter]n that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces , though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.

In the times of the Heathens afflicting the Church, from the repair of Ierusalem, till Christ's coming in the Flesh, and in succeeding times since, but the day of the full accomplishment of this Prophesie is a day known to the Lord.

Too heavy for them though many join together to remove it.

Though all people of this known World should burthen themselves with her.

They would be crushed to pieces, as a man that falls under a weighty and massy stone.

Many Nations have been confederate, now if you would suppose all through the whole World in league against Ierusalem, yet they could not stand under the weight of his displeasure who is provoked by such attempts, he would grind them to powder.
