Adam Clarke Bible Commentary
And the Lord shall be King - When this universal diffusion of Divine knowledge shall take place. Wherever it goes, the laws of God shall be acknowledged; and, consequently, he shall be King over the whole earth. One Lord, and his name one - There shall be in those blessed days, only one religion, and one form of religion. There shall not be gods many, and lords many. All mankind shall be of one religion, the essence of which is, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, soul, mind, and strength; and thy Neighbor as thyself."
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
king over all . . . earth-- Isa 54:5 implies that this is to be the consequence of Israel being again recognized by God as His own people (Dan 2:44; Rev 11:15). one Lord . . . name one--Not that He is not so already, but He shall then be recognized by all unanimously as "One." Now there are "gods many and lords many." Then Jehovah alone shall be worshipped. The manifestation of the unity of the Godhead shall be simultaneous with that of the unity of the Church. Believers are one in spirit already, even as God is one (Eph 4:3-6). But externally there are sad divisions. Not until these disappear, shall God reveal fully His unity to the world (Joh 17:21, Joh 17:23). Then shall there be "a pure language, that all may call upon the name of the Lord with one consent" (Zep 3:9). The Son too shall at last give up His mediatorial kingdom to the Father, when the purposes for which it was established shall have been accomplished, "that God may be all in all" (Co1 15:24).
John Gill Bible Commentary
And the Lord shall be King over all the earth,.... This refers to the spiritual reign of Christ in the latter day; upon the success of the Gospel everywhere, there will be great conversions in all places; Gospel churches will be set up and ordinances administered everywhere; the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the Lord; his kingdom will be from sea to sea, from the eastern to the western one, and his dominion will reach to the ends of the earth; Popish nations, Mahometan kingdoms, Pagan ones, and all the kings of the earth, will become Christian, and submit to the sceptre of Christ's kingdom: in that day shall there be one Lord; there is but one Lord in right now, and there is but one in fact that is owned by real Christians; and there will be but one in the spiritual reign, among all that are called Christians; there will be but one Lord and Head to Jews and Gentiles, Hos 1:11 the pope of Rome will be no more owned as head of the church, nor any other: and his name, one; this refers not to any particular name by which Christ shall be called; but rather to that by which his people shall be called; all names of distinction being now laid aside, and only that of Christians retained; though it chiefly designs unity of doctrine, uniformity of worship, one and the same way of administering ordinances: it signifies that there will be one true, spiritual, uniform worship and religion; there will be no different sentiments and principles in religion; nor different practices and modes of worship; nor different sects; but all agreeing in the same faith and practice, under one Lord and King, Christ Jesus. So the Targum, "they shall serve before the Lord with one shoulder; for his name is firm in the world, and there is none besides it.'' This passage is referred by the ancient Jews (l) to the times of the Messiah. (l) Zohar in Deut. fol. 110. 2.
Zechariah 14:9
The Destroyers of Jerusalem Destroyed
8And on that day living water will flow out from Jerusalem, half of it toward the Eastern Sea and the other half toward the Western Sea, in summer and winter alike.9On that day the LORD will become King over all the earth—the LORD alone, and His name alone.

The Millennium
By Zac Poonen0ISA 11:6ZEC 14:9MAT 25:412PE 3:13REV 20:7REV 21:4Zac Poonen preaches about the future reign of peace on earth for 1000 years, where Garden of Eden conditions will be restored, symbolized by the lion lying with the lamb and the child playing with the cobra (Isaiah 11:6-9). During this time, Jesus will reign as King from Jerusalem over the entire earth, with Satan bound and unable to influence the world (Zechariah 14:9-21). However, at the end of the 1000 years, Satan will be released to test the unconverted inhabitants once more, revealing the depth of man's stubbornness and wickedness. God will then judge the rebellious multitude, casting Satan into the lake of fire (Revelation 20:7-10).
The Kingdom Prophesied
By Lewis Sperry Chafer0DEU 30:3PSA 72:11ISA 2:1ISA 7:14ISA 11:1JER 23:5ZEC 14:9MAL 3:1MAT 1:22LUK 17:21Lewis Sperry Chafer delves into the significance of the Old Testament prophets speaking during Israel's national dispersion, highlighting the contrast between the nation's dark hour and the prophesied coming glory. The prophets, though speaking at different times, were united in condemning sin, predicting judgment, and envisioning future blessings for Israel under the reign of David's Son. The prophecies point to Immanuel's kingdom being theocratic, heavenly, earthly, centered at Jerusalem, over regathered Israel, and extending to the nations, all to be established by the power of the returning King in a spiritual manner.
The Supernatural Hope
By A.B. Simpson0Supernatural HopeSecond Coming Of ChristDAN 7:27ZEC 14:9MAT 24:30JHN 14:3ROM 8:191CO 15:42TIT 2:13HEB 11:102PE 3:12REV 20:6A.B. Simpson emphasizes the supernatural hope of Christ's return, urging believers to look forward to the glorious appearing of Jesus as a remedy against the skepticism of modern thought. He critiques the evolutionary mindset that dismisses divine intervention in history, asserting that both nature and scripture testify to a future transformation and resurrection. Simpson illustrates this hope through biblical figures like Enoch, Noah, and Abraham, who exemplified faith in God's promises. He concludes that this hope not only inspires Christian living and service but also serves as a powerful message to the world, calling for repentance and readiness for the coming King.
