And in that day His feet will stand (A)on the Mount of Olives,
Which faces Jerusalem on the east.
And the Mount of Olives shall be split in two,
From east to west,
(B)Making a very large valley;
Half of the mountain shall move toward the north
And half of it toward the south.

Then you shall flee through My mountain valley,
For the mountain valley shall reach to Azal.
Yes, you shall flee
As you fled from the (C)earthquake
In the days of Uzziah king of Judah.

(D)Thus the Lord my God will come,
And (E)all the saints with [a]You.

It shall come to pass in that day
That there will be no light;
The [b]lights will diminish.
It shall be one day
(F)Which is known to the Lord
Neither day nor night.
But at (G)evening time it shall happen
That it will be light.

And in that day it shall be
That living (H)waters shall flow from Jerusalem,
Half of them toward [c]the eastern sea
And half of them toward [d]the western sea;
In both summer and winter it shall occur.
And the Lord shall be (I)King over all the earth.
In that day it shall be—
(J)“The Lord is one,”
And His name one.

10 All the land shall be turned into a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem. [e]Jerusalem shall be raised up and (K)inhabited in her place from Benjamin’s Gate to the place of the First Gate and the Corner Gate, (L)and from the Tower of Hananel to the king’s winepresses.

11 The people shall dwell in it;
And (M)no longer shall there be utter destruction,
(N)But Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.

On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives,(A) east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split(B) in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving north and half moving south. You will flee by my mountain valley, for it will extend to Azel. You will flee as you fled from the earthquake[a](C) in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the Lord my God will come,(D) and all the holy ones with him.(E)

On that day there will be neither sunlight(F) nor cold, frosty darkness. It will be a unique(G) day—a day known only to the Lord—with no distinction between day and night.(H) When evening comes, there will be light.(I)

On that day living water(J) will flow(K) out from Jerusalem, half of it east(L) to the Dead Sea and half of it west to the Mediterranean Sea, in summer and in winter.(M)

The Lord will be king(N) over the whole earth.(O) On that day there will be one Lord, and his name the only name.(P)

10 The whole land, from Geba(Q) to Rimmon,(R) south of Jerusalem, will become like the Arabah. But Jerusalem will be raised up(S) high from the Benjamin Gate(T) to the site of the First Gate, to the Corner Gate,(U) and from the Tower of Hananel(V) to the royal winepresses, and will remain in its place.(W) 11 It will be inhabited;(X) never again will it be destroyed. Jerusalem will be secure.(Y)

Christ on a White Horse

11 (A)Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, (B)a white horse. And He who sat on him was called (C)Faithful and True, and (D)in righteousness He judges and makes war. 12 (E)His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. (F)He [a]had a name written that no one knew except Himself. 13 (G)He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called (H)The Word of God. 14 (I)And the armies in heaven, (J)clothed in [b]fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. 15 Now (K)out of His mouth goes a [c]sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And (L)He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. (M)He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16 And (N)He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written:

(O)KING OF KINGS AND
LORD OF LORDS.

Satan Bound 1,000 Years

20 Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, (A)having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. He laid hold of (B)the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years; and he cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and (C)set a seal on him, (D)so that he should deceive the nations no more till the thousand years were finished. But after these things he must be released for a little while.

The Saints Reign with Christ 1,000 Years

And I saw (E)thrones, and they sat on them, and (F)judgment was committed to them. Then I saw (G)the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, (H)who had not worshiped the beast (I)or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they (J)lived and (K)reigned with Christ for [a]a thousand years. But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such (L)the second death has no power, but they shall be (M)priests of God and of Christ, (N)and shall reign with Him a thousand years.

The Thousand Years

20 And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven,(A) having the key(B) to the Abyss(C) and holding in his hand a great chain. He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan,(D) and bound him for a thousand years.(E) He threw him into the Abyss,(F) and locked and sealed(G) it over him, to keep him from deceiving the nations(H) anymore until the thousand years were ended. After that, he must be set free for a short time.

I saw thrones(I) on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge.(J) And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded(K) because of their testimony about Jesus(L) and because of the word of God.(M) They[a] had not worshiped the beast(N) or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands.(O) They came to life and reigned(P) with Christ a thousand years. (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection.(Q) Blessed(R) and holy are those who share in the first resurrection. The second death(S) has no power over them, but they will be priests(T) of God and of Christ and will reign with him(U) for a thousand years.
