8:19 Here the Lord finally answers the question posed by the delegates from Bethel (7:2-3).
• The fast in early summer commemorated the breaching of Jerusalem’s walls (2 Kgs 25:3-4; Jer 52:6-7). The midsummer fast lamented the burning of Solomon’s Temple (2 Kgs 25:8-10; Jer 52:12-14). The fast in autumn marked the assassination of Gedaliah, governor of Jerusalem (2 Kgs 25:22-25; Jer 41:1-3) or the Day of Atonement (Lev 23:26-32). The fast in winter recalled the beginning of the siege of Jerusalem (2 Kgs 25:1; Jer 52:4).
• The fasts will turn to feasts when God restores Israel and sets his glory among the nations (Isa 65:18-19).
