Footnotes

13 Living waters will flow out from Jerusalem. Ezekiel sees this same phenomenon in conjunction with the inauguration of the messianic age (Ezek 47; cf. Rev 22:1–5; also John 7:38).
14 The eastern sea is a reference to the Dead Sea (cf. , , , ).
15 The western sea is a reference to the Mediterranean Sea (cf. , , , ).
16 The expression the Lord will be seen as one with a single name is an unmistakable reference to the so-called Shema, the crystallized statement of faith in the Lord as the covenant God of Israel (cf. Deut 6:4–5). Zechariah, however, universalizes the extent of the Lord’s dominion—he will be “king over all the earth.”
