Zechariah 14:2-9

2I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem for battle. The city will be captured, the houses looted, and the women raped. Half of the people in the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people won’t be taken from the city.

3Then the Lord will go out and fight against those nations as he does when he fights a battle.

4On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, just east of Jerusalem. The Mount of Olives will be split in two, forming a very large valley from east to west. Half of the mountain will move toward the north, and the other half will move toward the south.

5Then you will flee to the valley of my mountains, because this valley between the mountains will go as far as Azel. You will flee as you did from the earthquake at the time of King Uzziah of Judah. The Lord my God will come, and all the holy ones will be with him.

6On that day there will be neither heat nor freezing cold.

7There will be one day—a day known to the Lord—with no difference between day and night. It will be light even in the evening.

8On that day living water will flow out from Jerusalem, half of it to the Dead Sea and the other half to the Mediterranean Sea. It will continue in summer and in winter.

9The Lord will be king over all the earth. On that day the Lord will be the only Lord and his name the only name.
