Zechariah 14:1-9

1A day of the Lord is about to come when your possessions will be divided as plunder in your midst.

2For I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to wage war; the city will be taken, its houses plundered, and the women raped. Then half of the city will go into exile, but the remainder of the people will not be taken away.

3Then the Lord will go to battle and fight against those nations, just as he fought battles in ancient days.

4On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives which lies to the east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split in half from east to west, leaving a great valley. Half the mountain will move northward and the other half southward.

5Then you will escape through my mountain valley, for the mountains will extend to Azal. Indeed, you will flee as you fled from the earthquake in the days of King Uzziah of Judah. Then the Lord my God will come with all his holy ones with him.

6On that day there will be no light – the sources of light in the heavens will congeal.

7It will happen in one day (a day known to the Lord); not in the day or the night, but in the evening there will be light.

8Moreover, on that day living waters will flow out from Jerusalem, half of them to the eastern sea and half of them to the western sea; it will happen both in summer and in winter.

9The Lord will then be king over all the earth. In that day the Lord will be seen as one with a single name.
