Zechariah 14:1-8

Modern English Version

The Day of the Lord

14 A day of the Lord is coming when your spoil will be divided in your midst.

² For I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem for battle. The city will be captured and the houses plundered and the women ravished. Half of the city will go to exile, but the remainder of the people will not be cut off from the city. ³ Then the Lord will go out and fight those nations as He fights in the day of war. ⁴ On that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which is to the east of Jerusalem. And from east to west the Mount of Olives will be split in two halves by a very great valley so that one half moves to the north and the other to the south. ⁵ And you will flee to my mountain valley, for the mountain valley will reach to Azal. You will flee just like you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the Lord my God will come and all His holy ones with you.

⁶ And on that day there will be no light. The lights will diminish. ⁷ And there will be one day known to the Lord, neither during the day nor the night, but at the evening time there will be light.

⁸ On that day living water will flow out from Jerusalem, half to the Dead Sea and the other half to the Mediterranean Sea. This will happen for the summer as well as the winter.
