Zechariah 14

Condensed/Snipped & Paraphrased

     Behold, a day of Yahweh is coming ..spoil taken  ..2 Gathered will be all the nations against Jerusalem.. The city taken, houses plundered, women.. Half the people into exile.. 3 Then the Lord will go out and fight against those nations.. 4 On that day his feet shall stand on the Mount of Olives ..and it will be split in two east to west into a wide valley, half the mountain moving northward, the other half southward. 5 And you will flee to the valley of mountains, for the valley of the mountains shall reach to Azal. And you shall flee as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the Lord my God will come, and all the holy ones with him.

     6 On that day there’ll be no light, no cold, or frost. 7 It will be a unique day known to the Lord, not day or night, but at evening there will be light. 8 ..living waters will flow out from Jerusalem, half to the east.. half to the west.. in summer as in winter. 9 And Yahweh will be king over all the earth. In that day.. his name will be renown.. 10 The whole land south of Jerusalem will be turned into a plain ..but Jerusalem will remain ..on its site from Gate of Benjamin to the former and the Corner Gate.. 11 And it shall be inhabited, for there shall never again be any curse of destruction. Jerusalem will dwell in security. 12 And this will be the plague with which Yahweh will strike all the people that wage war against Jerusalem (he claims what occurs because it was he who created a cause and effect universe) they will dissolve while they are still standing..  13 And on that day a great panic from Yahweh ..the hand of the one will be raised against the hand of the other. (Is.24:20?) 14 Even Judah will fight at Jerusalem. And the wealth of all the surrounding nations shall be collected, gold, silver, garments in great abundance. 15 And a plague like this plague shall fall on whatever beasts may be in those camps.

     16 Then everyone who SURVIVES (mortally) of all those nations will go up year after year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts (Yahweh) and to keep the Feast of Booths/Tabernacles. 17 And if any of the families of the earth do not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, there will be no rain on their land. ..as a plague with which the Lord afflicts the nations that do not go up to keep the Feast of Booths. ..20 And on that day there shall be inscribed on the bells of the horses, “Holy to Yahweh.” And the pots in the house of the LORD shall be as the bowls before the altar. 21 And every pot in Jerusalem and Judah will be sacred (everything sacred?) so all who sacrifice may come and take of them and boil the meat of the sacrifice in them. And there shall no longer be a trader in the house of the LORD of hosts on that day.
