Zechariah 14 - The Lord Comes and Reigns (Armageddon)
Zechariah 14
English Standard Version
The Coming Day of the Lord
14 Behold, a
day is coming for the Lord,
when the spoil taken from you will be divided in your midst. 2 For I
will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city
shall be taken and the houses plundered and the women
raped. Half of the city shall go out into exile, but the rest of the
people shall not be cut off from the city. 3 Then
the Lord will go out and
fight against those nations as when he fights on a day of battle. 4 On
that day his feet shall stand on the Mount of Olives that lies before
Jerusalem on the east, and the Mount of Olives shall be split in two from
east to west by a very wide valley, so that one half of the Mount shall
move northward, and the other half southward. 5 And
you shall flee to the valley of my mountains, for the valley of the mountains
shall reach to Azal. And you shall flee as you fled from the earthquake in
the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the Lord my
God will come, and all the holy ones with him.[a]
6 On
that day there shall be no light, cold, or frost.[b] 7 And
there shall be a unique[c] day, which
is known to the Lord, neither
day nor night, but at evening time there shall be light.
8 On
that day living waters shall flow out from Jerusalem, half of them
to the eastern sea[d] and
half of them to the western sea.[e] It
shall continue in summer as in winter.
9 And the Lord will be king over all the
earth. On that day the Lord will
be one and his name one.
10 The
whole land shall be turned into a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of
Jerusalem. But Jerusalem shall remain aloft on its site from the
Gate of Benjamin to the place of the former gate, to the Corner Gate, and
from the Tower of Hananel to the king's winepresses. 11 And
it shall be inhabited, for there shall never again be a decree of utter destruction.[f] Jerusalem
shall dwell in security.
12 And
this shall be the plague with which the Lord will strike all the peoples that wage war against
Jerusalem: their flesh will rot while they are still standing on their feet,
their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their
mouths.
13 And on
that day a great panic from the Lord shall
fall on them, so that each will seize the hand of another, and the hand of
the one will be raised against the hand of the other. 14 Even Judah
will fight at Jerusalem.[g] And the
wealth of all the surrounding nations shall be collected, gold, silver, and
garments in great abundance. 15 And a plague
like this plague shall fall on the horses, the mules, the camels, the donkeys,
and whatever beasts may be in those camps.
16 Then
everyone who survives of all the nations that have come against
Jerusalem shall go up year after year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to
keep the Feast of Booths. 17 And if any
of the families of the earth do not go up to Jerusalem to worship the
King, the Lord of
hosts, there will be no rain on them. 18 And
if the family of Egypt does not go up and present themselves, then on them
there shall be no rain;[h] there
shall be the plague with which the Lord afflicts
the nations that do not go up to keep the Feast of Booths. 19 This
shall be the punishment to Egypt and the punishment to all the nations that do
not go up to keep the Feast of Booths.
20 And on
that day there shall be inscribed on the bells of the horses, “Holy to
the Lord.” And the pots in
the house of the Lord shall
be as the bowls before the altar. 21 And every pot
in Jerusalem and Judah shall be holy to the Lord of hosts, so that all who sacrifice may come and
take of them and boil the meat of the sacrifice in them. And there shall
no longer be a trader[i] in
the house of the Lord of
hosts on that day.
