Zechariah 14:6
Compare all
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.

Zechariah 14:6

light . . . not . . . clear . . . dark—JEROME, Chaldee, Syriac, and Septuagint translate, "There shall not be light, but cold and ice"; that is, a day full of horror (Amos 5:18). But the Hebrew for "clear" does not mean "cold," but "precious," "splendid" (compare Job 31:26). CALVIN translates, "The light shall not be clear, but dark" (literally, "condensation," that is, thick mist); like a dark day in which you can hardly distinguish between day and night. English Version accords with Zechariah 14:7 : "There shall not be altogether light nor altogether darkness," but an intermediate condition in which sorrows shall be mingled with joys.
