Zechariah14:21

21 Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be Holiness unto the LORD of hosts : and all they that sacrifice , shall come and take of them , and seethe therein : and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of the LORD of hosts .

The Utensils of private houses shall be so dedicated to Gods service that without scruple they shall on occasion be used, or might be used in the worship of God.

The Types, but the Gospel Church is the Antitype, in the times hereof every family shall be a Temple in which God shall be worshipped, and their house-pots in the Worship of God shall be in extraordinary Cases used without scruples.

See ver. 20. let. m.

In allusion to sacrifices, the Prophet expresseth all Religious affections, practice, and worship, which shall be as pleasing to God, as were the sacrifices of his People offered up with divine warrant and approbation.

Freely, without scruple.

Seeth that part of the Sacrifice which pertaineth to the Priests, and to the offerer to feast on, in their house Pots.

Any of the accursed Nation, or one who makes Merchandise of Religion. In a word, by allusion used here, we understand, That time will come, when scrupulous adhereing to Ceremonies, shall not be as formerly 'twas deemed, so necessary, so material in the worship.

But all shall know that the Lord hath greatest pleasure in upright, hearty, and sincere Love and Holiness.
