Zechariah 14:3

Zechariah 14:3

The Day of the Lord

1 Behold, ^athe day of the Lord is coming,
And your¹ spoil will be divided in your midst.

2 For ^aI will gather all the nations to battle against Jerusalem;
The city shall be taken,
The houses¹ rifled,
And the women ravished.
Half of the city shall go into captivity,
But the remnant of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

3 Then the Lord will go forth
And fight against those nations,
As He fights in the day of battle.

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

5 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 ^aearthquake
In the days of Uzziah king of Judah.
^bThus the Lord my God will come,
And ^call the saints with You.

6 It shall come to pass in that day
That the¹re will be no light;
The lights will diminish.

7 It shall be one day
^aWhich is known to the Lord—
Neither day nor night.
But at ^bevening time it shall happen
That it will be light.

8 And in that day it shall be
That living ^awaters shall flow from Jerusalem,
Half of them toward¹ the eastern sea
And half of them toward¹ the western sea;
In both summer and winter it shall occur.

as . . . in . . . day of battle—as when Jehovah fought for Israel against the Egyptians at the Red Sea (Exodus 14:14; Exodus 15:3). As He then made a way through the divided sea, so will He now divide in two "the Mount of Olives" (Zechariah 14:4).
