Behold, a aday is coming for the LORD when bthe spoil taken from you will be divided in your midst.Is 13:6, 9; Joel 2:1; Mal 4:1Zech 14:14 2 For I will agather all nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city will be captured and the bhouses plundered and the women ravished; and half of the city will be exiled, but the rest of the people will not be cut off from the city.Zech 12:2, 3Is 13:16 3 Then the LORD will go forth and afight against those nations, as when He fights on a day of battle.Zech 9:14, 15 4 In that day His feet shall astand on the Mount of Olives, which lies before Jerusalem on the east; and the Mount of Olives will be bsplit in half from the east to the west by a very large valley, and half of the mountain will move toward the north and half of it toward the south. Is 64:1, 2Ezek 11:23Is 64:1, 2; Ezek 47:1-10; Mic 1:3, 4; Hab 3:6; Zech 4:7; 14:8 5 You will flee by the valley of My mountains, for the valley of the mountains will reach to Azel; and you will flee just as you fled from the aearthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. bThen the LORD my 1God will come, and all the holy ones with Him. Amos 1:1; Col 3:4; 1+@Thess 4:14; Jude 14, 15The second coming of Christ to the earth is taught many times in Scripture. See Deut 30:3; Zech 14:3, 4; Matt 16:27; 24:3-14, 27, 36-39; 25:31, 32; 26:64; Luke 21:25-28; Acts 1:9-11; 1 Cor 1:7, 8; 4:5; 1 Tim 6:14; 2 Tim 4:1; Titus 2:13; Heb 9:28; 1 John 2:28; Rev 3:11; 16:15; 22:7, 20.Is 29:6; Amos 1:1Ps 96:13; Is 66:15, 16; Matt 16:27; 25:31

8 And in that day aliving waters will flow out from Jerusalem, half of them to the eastern sea and half of them to the western sea ; it will be in summer as well as in winter.Ezek 47:1-12; Joel 3:18; John 7:38; Rev 22:1, 2

10 All the land will be changed into a plain from aGeba to bRimmon, the Rimmon that is south of Jerusalem; but Jerusalem will crise and dremain lifted up on its site from eBenjamin’s Gate to the place of the First Gate to the fCorner Gate, and from the gTower of Hananel to the king’s wine presses.1 Kin 15:22Josh 15:32; Judg 20:45, 47Is 2:2; Amos 9:11Jer 30:18; Zech 12:6Jer 37:13; 38:72 Kin 14:13Jer 31:38 11 It will be inhabited, for there will ano longer be a curse, for Jerusalem will bdwell in security.

12 Now this will be the plague with which the LORD shall strike all the peoples that have warred against Jerusalem: Their flesh will arot while they stand on their feet, and their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongue will rot in their mouth.Lev 26:16; Deut 28:21, 22 13 In that day a great panic and dismay from the LORD will fall on them; and they will aseize one another’s hand, and the hand of the one will be raised against the hand of the other.Zech 11:6 14 aJudah also will fight at Jerusalem; and the bwealth of all the surrounding nations will be gathered together—gold and silver and garments in great abundance.Zech 12:2, 5Is 23:18; Zech 14:1 15 So like this aplague on men there will be the plague on the horses, mules, camels, donkeys, and all the livestock in those camps.Zech 14:12
16 Then everyone who is left of all the nations that went against Jerusalem will ago up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and celebrate the bFeast of Booths .Is 60:6-9; 66:18-21, 23Lev 23:34-44 17 And it will be that whichever of the families of the earth does not go up to Jerusalem to worship the aKing, the LORD of hosts, there will be bno rain on them.Zech 14:9, 16Jer 14:3-6; Amos 4:7 18 If the family of Egypt does not go up to Jerusalem and present themselves, then no rain will fall on them. It will be the aplague with which the LORD will strike the nations who do not go up to celebrate the Feast of Booths .Zech 14:12, 15 19 This will be the consequent punishment for the sin of Egypt, and the consequent punishment for the sin of all the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Feast of Booths .
20 In that day there will be written on the little bells on the horses, “1aHOLY TO THE LORD.” And the bcooking pots in the LORD’S house will be holy to the LORD like the bowls before the altar.What had previously been reserved for the most sacred occasions now will adorn common objects, thus eliminating the difference between the sacred and the secular.Ex 28:36-38Ezek 46:20 21 Every cooking pot in all the houses in Jerusalem and in Judah will be aholy to the LORD of hosts, and all who sacrifice will come and take them and boil their sacrifices in them. And in that day there will no longer be a bCanaanite that is, any godless or spiritually unclean person, whether Jew or Gentile in the house of the LORD of hosts.
