John Trapp on Zechariah 14:10

Verſ. 10. All the land ſhal be turned as a plain.] Or, ſhal be compaſſed about as a plain, ut aquore plano, ſo the Tigurine tranſlation. Godſhal enlarge the bounds of his Church; he ſhall lay all level, that people may come in amain from all parts. Every valley ſhall be filled, and every mountain and hill brought low; and the crooked ſhall be made ſtraight, and the rough-wayes ſmooth, Luk. 3.5. The wilderneſſe, and the folitary place ſhall be glad for them, and the deſert ſhall rejoyce and bloſſom as the roſe: It ſhall bloſſom abundantly, and rejoyce even with joy and ſinging. The glory of Lebanon ſhall be given unto it; the excellencie of Carmel and Sharon, they ſhall ſee the glory of the Lord, and the excellencie of our God, Eſa. 35.1, 2. The Prophet here ſheweth that all the land ſhall be inhabited from one end unto another; From Geba the North-confine, to Rimmon, the South-[illegible: 1 letter]order, Joſh. 15.32, 57. And from Benjamins gate unto the place of the firſt (or old) gate, Neh. 3.6. which ſtood Weſtward, unto the corner gate (See 2 Chron. 26.9. & 25.23.) or the gate that looketh Eaſtward. The limits of the Church ſhall be greatly enlarged; the rough and rugged mountains being made as the ſmooth and pleaſant champions. The ſaithful ſhall paſs from Geba to Rimmon, Cant. 4.6 from the mountains of Myrrh and hils of Frankincenſe, to the Pomgranates (for ſo Rimmon ſignifieth, and from the plenty of that fruit there,Maſius in Joſh. 19.13. this place ſeemeth to have taken its name) that is, from Humiliation and Supplication for pardon and power againſt corruption, to Love and good Works, looking up, and preſſing hard toward the high prize propoſed unto them; as the many grains within the caſe of the Pomgranate do point, and as it were all look up together unto the crown or circle that is without, upon the head of it. To the kings wine-preſſes] which were on the Weſt-ſide, where the ſo rmer two half-compaſſes did meet to make up a whole compaſs. Certain it is, that Jeruſalem was a very large and ſpacious city, comprehending thirty furlongs at leaſt, ſay thoſe that have written of it. There was in it the upper and the nether town,Vide typ. Jeroſol. ap. Adricho. whence it is called, Iie-ruſhalaiim in the dual. There was afterwards the old town and the new, called Boretha, or Caenopolis. But Ezech. 40.41, 42. &c. God ſheweth the Prophet a new Temple bigger then all the old Jeruſalem put all together: and a new Jeruſalem bigger then all the land of Canaan; by theſe very dimenſions ſhewing, that theſe things cannot be underſtood but ſpiritually. And the new Jeruſalem in the Revelation as it lieth four ſquare, looking every way to the four corners of the earth (like as Conſtantinople doth,Turk. Hiſt. which is thereſore ſaid to be a city fatally founded to command) ſo the meaſure of it is twelve thouſand furlongs:Rev. 21.16. which (according to ſome) make no leſs then 1500 miles.
