Zechariah13:8
8 And it shall come to pass, that in all the land , saith the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off, and die, but the third shall be left therein .
Of Iudea, or the whole World.
Not precisely two, but more largely the greater part by far.
A Temporal Death, by the Sword of Titus, or an eternal death under unbelief and rejecting Christ.
i. e. A remnant, the lesser part, yet as many as are chosen.
Shall escape or be preserved and saved.
This ver. may be a prediction of the great slaughter Titus made among the Iews, and also an Emblem of the multitudes of them that perish, and paucity of them that are saved.
