Zechariah 14:1–9

Zechariah’s Apocalyptic Vision

14Look! A day is coming for Yahweh, when your plunder will be divided in your midst. ²I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city will be captured, and they will loot the houses, and the women will be raped; half of the city will go into exile, but the remainder of the people will not be cut off from the city. ³Then Yahweh will go forth and fight against those nations, like when he fights^a on a day of battle. ⁴On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives,^b which faces Jerusalem on the east; and the Mount of Olives^c will be split in half,^d from east to west, by a very great valley; and half of the mountain will withdraw toward the north, and the other half toward the south. ⁵And you will flee by the valley of my mountains, because the valley of the mountains will reach to Azal, and you will flee like you fled from the earthquake in the days of King Uzziah of Judah. And Yahweh my God will come, and all the holy ones with him.^e

⁶And then^f on that day there will not be light,^g the precious things will congeal.^{h 7}There shall be continuous day—it is known to Yahweh—not day and not night; and at evening time there will be light.

⁸And thenⁱ on that day, living waters will flow out from Jerusalem, half of them to the eastern sea,^j and the other half to the western sea;^k it will happen both in the summer and in the winter. ⁹And Yahweh will be king over all the earth; on that day Yahweh will be one and his name one.
