Zechariah 14 :: New English Translation (NET)

God Will Battle Jerusalem's Foes

(cf. Eze 38; 39; Mar 13; Rev 20—22 )

Zec 14:1A day of the LORD is about to come when your possessions will be divided as plunder in your midst.

Zec 14:2For I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to wage war; the city will be taken, its houses plundered, and the women raped. Then half of the city will go into exile, but the remainder of the people will not be taken away.

Zec 14:3

Zec 14:3Then the LORD will go to battle and fight against those nations, just as he fought battles in ancient days.

Zec 14:4

Zec 14:4On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives which lies to the east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split in half from east to west, leaving a great valley. Half the mountain will move northward and the other half southward.

Zec 14:5

Zec 14:5Then you will escape through my mountain valley, for the mountains will extend to Azal. Indeed, you will flee as you fled from the earthquake in the days of King Uzziah of Judah. Then the LORD my God will come with all his holy ones with him.

Zec 14:6

Zec 14:6On that day there will be no light - the sources of light in the heavens will congeal.

Zec 14:7

Zec 14:7It will happen in one day (a day known to the LORD); not in the day or the night, but in the evening there will be light.

Zec 14:8

Zec 14:8Moreover, on that day living waters will flow out from Jerusalem, half of them to the eastern sea and half of them to the western sea; it will happen both in summer and in winter.

God Will Be King over All

Zec 14:9

Zec 14:9The LORD will then be king over all the earth. In that day the LORD will be seen as one with a single name.

Zec 14:10

Zec 14:10All the land will change and become like the Arabah from Geba to Rimmon, south of Jerusalem; and Jerusalem will be raised up and will stay in its own place from the Benjamin Gate to the site of the First Gate and on to the Corner Gate, and from the Tower of Hananel to the royal winepresses.

Zec 14:11

Zec 14:11And people will settle there, and there will no longer be the threat of divine extermination - Jerusalem will dwell in security.

Zec 14:12

Zec 14:12But this will be the nature of the plague with which the LORD will strike all the nations that have fought against Jerusalem: Their flesh will decay while they stand on their feet, their eyes will rot away in their sockets, and their tongues will dissolve in their mouths.

Zec 14:13

Zec 14:13On that day there will be great confusion from the LORD among them; they will seize each other and attack one another violently.

Zec 14:14

Zec 14:14Moreover, Judah will fight at Jerusalem, and the wealth of all the surrounding nations will be gathered up - gold, silver, and clothing in great abundance.

Zec 14:15

Zec 14:15This is the kind of plague that will devastate horses, mules, camels, donkeys, and all the other animals in those camps.

Zec 14:16

Zec 14:16Then all who survive from all the nations that came to attack Jerusalem will go up annually to worship the King, the LORD who rules over all, and to observe the Feast of Tabernacles.

Zec 14:17

Zec 14:17But if any of the nations anywhere on earth refuse to go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD who rules over all, they will get no rain.

Zec 14:18

Zec 14:18If the Egyptians will not do so, they will get no rain - instead there will be the kind of plague which the LORD inflicts on any nations that do not go up to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles.

Zec 14:19

Zec 14:19This will be the punishment of Egypt and of all nations that do not go up to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles.

Zec 14:20

Zec 14:20On that day the bells of the horses will bear the inscription "HOLY TO THE LORD." The cooking pots in the LORD's temple will be as holy as the bowls in front of the altar.

Zec 14:21

Zec 14:21Every cooking pot in Jerusalem and Judah will become holy in the sight of the LORD who rules over all, so that all who offer sacrifices may come and use some of them to boil their sacrifices in them. On that day there will no longer be a Canaanite in the house of the LORD who rules over all.
