THE DAY OF THE LORD IS COMING

(Zechariah 14)

A DAY OF THE LORD IS COMING

When your plunder will be divided among you.

2 I WILL GATHER ALL THE NATIONS TO JERUSALEM

TO FIGHT AGAINST IT;

The city will be captured, the houses ransacked,

And the women raped.

Half of the city will go into exile,

But the rest of the people will not be taken from the city.

3 THEN THE LORD WILL GO OUT

AND FIGHT AGAINST THOSE NATIONS,

AS HE FIGHTS IN THE DAY OF BATTLE.

4 ON THAT DAY

His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem,

And the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west,

Forming a great valley,

With half of the mountain moving north and half moving south.

5 You will flee by my mountain valley, for it will extend to Azel.

You will 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.

6 ON THAT DAY

There will be no light, no cold or frost.

7 IT WILL BE A UNIQUE DAY,

Without daytime or nighttime--a day known to the Lord.

When evening comes, there will be light.

8 ON THAT DAY

Living water will flow out from Jerusalem,

Half to the eastern sea and half to the western sea, I

In summer and in winter.

9 THE LORD WILL BE KING OVER THE WHOLE EARTH

ON THAT DAY

THERE WILL BE ONE LORD

AND HIS NAME THE ONLY NAME.

10 The whole land, from Geba to Rimmon, south of Jerusalem,

Will become like the Arabah.

BUT JERUSALEM WILL BE RAISE UP

AND REMAIN IN ITS PLACE

From the Benjamin Gate

To the site of the First Gate, to the Corner Gate,

And from the Tower of Hananel to the royal winepresses.

It will be inhabited;

NEVER AGAIN WILL IT BE DESTROYED

JERUSALEM WILL BE SECURE.

11 THIS IS THE PLAGUE

With which the Lord will Strike

ALL THE NATIONS

That Fought 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 ON THAT DAY

Men will be stricken by the Lord with great panic.

Each man will seize the hand of another, and they will attach each other.

14 Judah too will fight at Jerusalem.

The Wealth of all the surrounding Nations will be collected--

Great quantities of gold and silver and clothing.

15 A SIMILAR PLAGUE

Will strike the horses and mules,

The camels and donkeys,

And all the animals in those camps.

16 THEN THE SURVIVORS FROM ALL THE NATIONS

That have attacked Jerusalem

Will go up year after year to worship the King,

The Lord Almighty,

AND TO CELEBRATE THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES.

17 If any of the peoples of the earth

Do not go up to Jerusalem

To worship the King, the Lord Almighty,

They will have no rain.

18 If the Egyptian people do not go up and take part,

They will have no rain.

The Lord will bring on them

THE PLAGUE HE INFLICTS ON THE NATIONS

THAT DO NOT GO UP TO CELEBRATE THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES.

19 This will be the punishment of Egypt

AND THE PUNISHMENT OF ALL THE NATIONS

THAT DO NOT GO UP TO CLELEBRATE THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES.

20 ON THAT DAY

HOLY TO THE LORD

Will be inscribed on the bells of the horses,

And the cooking pots in the Lord's House

Will be like the Sacred Bowls in front of the Altar.

21 Every pot in Jerusalem and Judah

Will be Holy to the Lord Almighty,

And all who come to sacrifice

Will take some of the pots and cook in them.

AND ON THAT DAY

THERE WILL NO LONGER BE A CANAANITE

IN THEHOUSE OF THE LORD ALMIGHTY.

(Zechariah 14)

Every Christian should understand what the destination

Of the Nations and the godless is;

IN THE END

THE LORD ALMIGHTY BRINGS THEM ALL TO NOTHING.

The Cites of the Nations Collapse;

The Face of the Earth is Ruined.

All the Worldly will be brought to Nothing;

All those who worshiped the son of Satan,

The Beast of Revelation, the Antichrist.

Only those whose names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life

Will be part of the Kingdom of God

And Rule and Reign with Christ Jesus,

In Jerusalem, on Mount Zion for a Thousand Years.

Those reading this will live to see That Day.
