Zechariah 14:4

Zechariah 14:4

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.

<< Zechariah 14:3

Zechariah 14:5 >>

The object of the cleaving of the mount in two by a fissure or valley (a prolongation of the valley of Jehoshaphat, and extending from Jerusalem on the west towards Jordan, eastward) is to open a way of escape to the besieged (compare Joel 3:12, Joel 3:14). Half the divided mount is thereby forced northward, half southward; the valley running between. The place of His departure at His ascension shall be the place of His return: and the "manner" of His return also shall be similar (Acts 1:11). He shall probably "come from the east" (Matthew 24:27). He so made His triumphal entry into the city from the Mount of Olives from the east (Matthew 21:1-10). This was the scene of His agony: so it shall be the scene of His glory. Compare Ezekiel 11:23, with Ezekiel 43:2, "from the way of the east.
