Zechariah 14:2-9

2For I will 1gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city will be taken, the 2houses plundered, the women raped, and half of the city exiled, but the rest of the people will not be eliminated from the city. 3Then the Lord will go forth and 3fight against those nations, as 4when He fights on a day of battle. 4On that day His feet will 5stand on the Mount of Olives, which is in front of Jerusalem on the east; and the Mount of Olives will be 6split 7in its middle from east to west forming a very large valley. Half of the mountain will move toward the north, and the other half toward the south. 5And you will flee by the valley of My mountains, for the valley of the mountains will reach to Azel; yes, you will flee just as you fled from the 8earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. 9Then the Lord, my God, will come, and all the holy ones with 10Him!

6On that day there will be 11no light; the 12luminaries will die out. 7For it will be 13a unique day which is 14known to the Lord, neither day nor night, but it will come about that at the 15time of evening there will be light.

8And on that day 16living waters will flow out of Jerusalem, half of them toward the eastern sea and the other half toward the western sea; it will be in summer as well as in winter.

9And the Lord will be 17King over all the earth; on that day the Lord will be the only 18one, and His name the only one.
