The context is the eschatological battle where God intervenes on behalf of Jerusalem. The "similar plague" refers to the affliction that previously struck the people who fought against Jerusalem, emphasizing God's comprehensive judgment. This reflects the biblical theme of divine retribution and justice, as seen in other prophetic books like Isaiah and Ezekiel.<p><b>the horses and mules, camels and donkeys,</b><br>These animals were essential for transportation, agriculture, and warfare in ancient times. The mention of these specific animals highlights the totality of the plague's impact, affecting not just humans but also the means of their livelihood and military strength. Horses were often associated with war (as in <a href="/revelation/19-11.htm">Revelation 19:11-16</a>), while mules, camels, and donkeys were crucial for trade and daily life. This comprehensive judgment underscores the futility of relying on earthly power and resources against divine will.<p><b>and all the animals in those camps.</b><br>The phrase "in those camps" refers to the encampments of the nations that have come against Jerusalem. The inclusion of "all the animals" signifies the complete devastation of the enemy forces, leaving them without resources or means to continue their campaign. This mirrors the plagues in Egypt, where both humans and animals were afflicted, demonstrating God's power over creation. It also serves as a reminder of God's protection over His people, as seen in the deliverance narratives throughout the Old Testament.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/z/zechariah.htm">Zechariah</a></b><br>A prophet in the Old Testament who conveyed God's messages to the people of Israel, particularly concerning the future and the coming of the Messiah.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/j/jerusalem.htm">Jerusalem</a></b><br>The central place in Zechariah's prophecies, representing God's chosen city and the focal point of end-time events.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_plague.htm">The Plague</a></b><br>A divine judgment that affects not only people but also animals, symbolizing God's comprehensive judgment against the nations that oppose Him.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/h/horses,_mules,_camels,_donkeys.htm">Horses, Mules, Camels, Donkeys</a></b><br>These animals represent the wealth and military power of the nations, which will be rendered powerless by God's judgment.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_nations.htm">The Nations</a></b><br>Refers to the Gentile nations that come against Jerusalem, highlighting the universal scope of God's judgment and eventual reign.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_sovereignty_over_creation.htm">God's Sovereignty Over Creation</a></b><br>The inclusion of animals in the judgment highlights God's control over all aspects of creation.
