4At that time he will stand on the Mount of Olives, to the east of Jerusalem. Then the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west by a large valley. Half the mountain will move northwards and half of it southwards. 5You will escape through this valley that divides the mountain in two.t You will flee as your ancestors did when the earthquake struck in the time of King Uzziah of Judah. The Lord my God will come, bringing all the angels with him.

6When that time comes, there will no longer be cold or frost,u 7nor any darkness. There will always be daylight, even at night-time. When this will happen is known only to the Lord.

8*When that day comes, fresh water will flow from Jerusalem, half of it to the Dead Sea and the other half to the Mediterranean. It will flow all the year round, in the dry season as well as the wet. 9Then the Lord will be king over all the earth; everyone will worship him as God and know him by the same name.

10The whole region, from Geba in the north to Rimmon in the south, will be made level. Jerusalem will tower above the land round it; the city will reach from the Benjamin Gate to the Corner Gate, where there had been an earlier gate, and from the Tower of Hananel to the royal winepresses. 11*The people will live there in safety, no longer threatened by destruction.
