God Will Battle Jerusalem's Foes |
|
|
 |
|
Zechariah 14:1
|
|
Behold, a day is coming for the LORD when the
spoil taken from you will be divided among you. |
|
|
|
|
|
Zechariah 14:2
|
|
For I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem
to battle, and the city will be captured, the houses plundered, the women ravished
and half of the city exiled, but the rest of the people will not be cut off from
the city. |
| |
|
|
|
Zechariah 14:3
|
|
Then the LORD will go forth and fight against
those nations, as when He fights on a day of battle. |
| |
|
|
|
Zechariah 14:4
|
|
In that day His feet will stand on the Mount
of Olives, which is in front of Jerusalem on the east; and the Mount of Olives
will be split in its middle from east to west by a very large valley, so that
half of the mountain will move toward the north and the other half toward the
south. |
| |
|
|
|
Zechariah 14:5
|
|
You will flee by the valley of My mountains,
for the valley of the mountains will reach to Azel; yes, you will flee just as
you fled before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the LORD,
my God, will come, and all the holy ones with Him! |
| |
|
|
|
Zechariah 14:6
|
|
In that day there will be no light; the luminaries
will dwindle. |
| |
|
|
|
Zechariah 14:7
|
|
For it will be a unique day which is known to
the LORD, neither day nor night, but it will come about that at evening time there
will be light. |
|
|
|
|
Zechariah 14:8
|
|
And in that day living waters will flow out
of Jerusalem, half of them toward the eastern sea and the other half toward the
western sea; it will be in summer as well as in winter. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
God Will Be King over All |
|
|
|
|
Zechariah 14:9
|
|
And the LORD will be king over all the earth;
in that day the LORD will be the only one, and His name the only one. |
|
|
|
|
Zechariah 14:10
|
|
All the land will be changed into a plain from
Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem; but Jerusalem will rise and remain on its site
from Benjamin's Gate as far as the place of the First Gate to the Corner Gate,
and from the Tower of Hananel to the king's wine presses. |
|
|
|
|
Zechariah 14:11
|
|
People will live in it, and there will no longer
be a curse, for Jerusalem will dwell in security. |
|
|
|
|
Zechariah 14:12
|
|
Now this will be the plague with which the LORD
will strike all the peoples who have gone to war against Jerusalem; their flesh
will rot while they stand on their feet, and their eyes will rot in their sockets,
and their tongue will rot in their mouth. |
|
|
|
|
Zechariah 14:13
|
|
It will come about in that day that a great
panic from the LORD will fall on them; and they will seize one another's hand,
and the hand of one will be lifted against the hand of another. |
|
|
|
|
Zechariah 14:14
|
|
Judah also will fight at Jerusalem; and the
wealth of all the surrounding nations will be gathered, gold and silver and garments
in great abundance. |
|
|
|
|
Zechariah 14:15
|
|
So also like this plague will be the plague
on the horse, the mule, the camel, the donkey and all the cattle that will be
in those camps. |
|
|
|
|
Zechariah 14:16
|
|
Then it will come about that any who are left
of all the nations that went against Jerusalem will go up from year to year to
worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to celebrate the Feast of Booths. |
|
|
|
|
Zechariah 14:17
|
|
And it will be that whichever of the families
of the earth does not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts,
there will be no rain on them. |
|
|
|
|
Zechariah 14:18
|
|
If the family of Egypt does not go up or enter,
then no rain will fall on them; it will be the plague with which the LORD smites
the nations who do not go up to celebrate the Feast of Booths. |
|
|
|
|
Zechariah 14:19
|
|
This will be the punishment of Egypt, and the
punishment of all the nations who do not go up to celebrate the Feast of Booths. |
| |
|
|
|
Zechariah 14:20
|
|
In that day there will be inscribed on the bells
of the horses, "HOLY TO THE LORD." And the cooking pots in the LORD'S house will
be like the bowls before the altar. |
| |
|
|
|
Zechariah 14:21
|
|
Every cooking pot in Jerusalem and in Judah
will be holy to the LORD of hosts; and all who sacrifice will come and take of
them and boil in them. And there will no longer be a Canaanite in the house of
the LORD of hosts in that day. |
