Context of Zechariah 14:7

5And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: And Yhwh my God shall come, and all the saints with thee. 6And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark: But it shall be one day which shall be known to Yhwh, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light. 8And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be. 9And Yhwh shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Yhwh, and his name one.

Commentaries on Zechariah 14:7

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 7At evening time it shall be light - At the close of this awful visitation, there shall be light. The light of the glorious Gospel shall go forth from Jerusalem; and next, from the Roman empire to every part of the earth.Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 7And it shall be one day: it shall be known unto the Lord: not day, and not night; and at the eventide it shall be light - “One” special “day; one,” unlike all beside; known unto God, and to Him alone.
