Zechariah

Zechariah 14:1–7

¹Behold, a day of the LORD is coming when your plunder will be divided in your presence. ²For I will gather all the nations for battle against Jerusalem, and the city will be captured, the houses looted, and the women ravished. Half of the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people will not be removed from the city.

³Then the LORD will go out to fight against those nations, as He fights in the day of battle. ⁴On that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half the mountain moving to the north and half to the south. ⁵You will flee by My mountain valley, for it will extend to Azal. You will flee as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the LORD my God will come, and all the holy ones with Him.^a

⁶On that day there will be no light, no cold or frost. ⁷It will be a unique day known only to the LORD, without day or night; but when evening comes, there will be light.
