Matthew Poole and continuators on Zechariah 12:6

6 ¶ In that day will I make the governours of Judah like a hearth of fire among the wood , and like a torch of fire in a sheaf ; and they shall devour all the people round about on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place even in Jerusalem .

See ver. 5. let. b.

A hearth throughly on which fire is kindled.

The more is laid on, the more is consumed and burnt up, so the enemies of Iudah and Ierusalem shall be, their multitudes shall no more save themselves then much wood cast on a great fire in the hearth can preserve it self.

Which immediately sets the whole sheaf on fire, and it is consumed.

The Governours of Judah with their handful of men shall thus surely and speedily consume their Enemies which set upon them.

As indeed it was and continued so till Christs Death and forty years after, for of these times doth the Prophet speak, and not of times still to come.

Not built as Nineveh, Tyrus, Babylon, or Rome, in some place near to the old Cities of that name, but in the very same place where old Ierusalem did, shall re-edified Ierusalem again stand.

So you shall find Ierusalem in Ierusalem, or thus, spiritual Ierusalem shall be that Ierusalem in which you ought to look, and where you shall find the old Typical Jerusalem which though it lye waste, and I fear must never be built, yet is in more ample manner built up in the Church, spiritual Jerusalem.
