Foretelling the Day of the Lord God |
Zechariah 14:1-21 The Book of Zechariah [in Smaller Chunks] |
[Watch,] the day of the Lord comes, & your [plunder] shall be divided in your midst. [Joel 2:1-3 You, blow the trumpet in Zion, & sound the alarm in My Holy Mountain. Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the Lord comes, for it is [close] at hand. |
A day of darkness, & gloominess. A day of clouds, & thick darkness. A [large] & strong people, spread upon the mountains, [like] the morning [spreads out.] There hasn't been, [similar,] & neither shall [there] ever be [again,] after it, even [for] many generations. |
A fire devours [in front of] them. And behind them, a flame burns. The land is [like] the Garden of Eden, [in front of] them, & behind them [is] a desolate wilderness. [Yes,] & nothing shall escape [from] them.] |
For I will gather all nations to battle against Jerusalem, & the city shall be [captured,] & the house [ransacked,] & the women ravished. And half of the city shall go into captivity, & the [rest] of the people, shall not be cut off from the city. |
[Joel 3:1-2 For, [look,] in those days, & [during] that time, when I shall [return] again, [those from] captivity, [from:] Judah & Jerusalem. I will also gather all nations, & will bring them down into the Valley of Jehoshaphat, & will plead with them there for My people, & for My heritage, Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, & [divided] My land.] |
Then, the Lord shall go [out,] & fight against those nations, [like] when He fought [on] the day of battle. [2 Chronicles 32:19-22 And for this [reason,] king Hezekiah, & the prophet, Isaiah, [Amos'] son, prayed & cried [out] to heaven. And the Lord sent an Angel, [who] cut off all the: mighty men of valor; leaders; & captains in the camp of [Assyria's] king. |
So, [Sennacherib,] returned to his own land, with shame [on his] face. And when he [had] come into the house of his god, [those, who] came [from] his own bowels, [a.k.a. his family, struck] him there with the sword. |
[Like this,] the Lord saved Hezekiah, & the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Senacherib, [Assyria's] king, & from the hand of all [others,] & guided [the Israelites] on every side.] |
And that day, His feet shall stand upon the Mount of Olives, [that] is [in front of] Jerusalem, on the East. And the Mount of Olives shall [split] in the [middle of it] toward the East & toward the West. And there shall be a very [large] valley. And half of the mountain shall [move] toward the North, and half toward the South. |
[Revelation 6:12-14 And I [saw] when He had opened the 6th seal, & [looked] & there was a [large] earthquake. And the sun became black as sackcloth [made] of hair, & the moon became [like] blood. |
And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, even [like] a fig tree casts her [unripened] figs, when she is shaken [by] a mighty wind. And the heaven departed [like] a scroll when it is rolled together. And every mountain & island were moved out of their places.] |
And you shall flee to the valley [in] the mountains. For the valley [in] the mountains shall reach [all the way to] Azal. [Yes,] you shall flee, like you fled from [in front of] the earthquake [during] the days of Uzziah, [Judah's] king. And the Lord my God shall come, & all the saints with You. |
[Matthew 24:30-31 And then, the sign of the Son of Man shall appear in heaven. And then, the tribes of the earth shall mourn, & they shall see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven, with power & great glory. |
And He shall send His Angels with a great trumpet sound. And they shall gather together His elect, [a.k.a. chosen,] from the 4 winds, from one end of heaven to the other.] |
And it shall [happen on] that day, that the light shall not be [sunny,] nor dark. No day, nor night: but it shall [happen] [that] at [evening,] it shall be light. But it shall [happen] one day, [that] shall be [only] known to the Lord. |
[Revelation 21:22-26 And I saw no temple [there:] for the Lord God Almighty & the Lamb are the temple of it. And the city had no need of the sun, neither [for] the moon, to shine in it. For the glory of God did lighten it, & the Lamb is the light [of it.] |
And [those, who] are saved, [from] the nations, shall walk in the light of it. And the kings of the earth, bring their glory & honor into it. And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day, for there shall be no night there. And they shall bring the glory & honor of the nations into it.] |
And it shall be [on] that day, that Living Waters shall go out from Jerusalem. Half of them toward the [Eastern] Sea, [a.k.a. Dead Sea,] & half toward the [Western] Sea, [a.k.a. Mediterranean Sea:it shall [happen during] the summer & winter. |
And the Lord shall be King over all the earth. [On] that day, there shall be One Lord, & His Name One. [John 10:27-30 My sheep hear My voice, & I know them, & they follow Me. And I give eternal life to them; & they shall never perish. Neither shall any man [snatch] them out of My hand. My Father, [Who] gave them to Me, Is greater than All. And no man is able to [snatch] them out of My Father's hand. I & My Father are One.] |
And all the land from Geba to Rimmon, South of Jerusalem, shall be turned & [become like] a plain. And it shall be lifted up, [a.k.a. elevated,] & inhabited in [its] place, from Benjamin's Gate, to the First Gate, to the Corner Gate, & from the Tower of Hananeel, [all the way] to the king's [wine vats.] [Jeremiah 31:38 The Lord says, [Look,] the days come, that the city shall be [rebuilt] to the Lord, from the Tower of Hananeel, unto the Gate of the Corner.] |
And there shall no [longer] be [total] destruction, & men shall dwell in it, & Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited. [Jeremiah 23:5-6 *The Lord says, [Look,] the days come, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, & a King shall [rule] & prosper, & [carry out] judgment & justice [on] the earth. |
*[During] His days, Judah shall be saved, & Israel shall dwell safely. And this is His Name, [by which] He shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.] |
And this shall be the plague, [with which] the Lord shall [strike] all the people [who] fought against Jerusalem: Their flesh shall [rot] away, while they stand on their feet, & their eyes shall [decay] in their [sockets.] And their tongue shall [waste away] in their mouth. |
And it shall [happen on] that day, that [there] shall be a [large commotion,] among them, from the Lord. And everyone shall [seize] the hand of his neighbor. And His hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbor. |
[2 Samuel 14:20-22 And Saul & all the people, [who] were with him, assembled themselves, & they came to the battle. And, look, there was very great [confusion] & every man's sword was against his fellow. |
[Also,] the Hebrews, [who] were with the Philistines [prior to] that time, [who] went up with them into the camp, from [all around] the country, even they also turned to [being] with the Israelites, [who] were with Saul & Jonathan. |
[Additionally,] all the men of Israel, [who] had [hidden] themselves in Mount Ephraim, also followed hard after the Philistines in battle, when they heard that [they had] fled.] |
And also Judah shall fight [in] Jerusalem. And the wealth of all the heathen, [all around,] shall be gathered together. [A] great abundance [of:] gold; silver; & [garments.] |
And the plague [for] the: horse; mule; camel; [donkey; ] & all the [animals] in these tents, shall be [like] this plague. And it shall [happen,] that everyone, [who] is left [from] all the nations, [that] came against Jerusalem, shall even go up [each] year to worship the King, the Lord of Hosts, to keep the Feast of Tabernacles. |
[Isaiah 2:2-3 *And it shall [happen, during] the last days, that the mountain of the Lord's house, shall be established [on] the top of the mountains, & shall be exalted above the hills. And all nations shall flow to it. |
*And many shall go & say, You, come, & let's go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob, [a.k.a. Israel,] & He will teach us [about] His ways, & we will [follow] in His paths. For out of Zion, the Law shall go [out,] & the Word of the Lord [shall go out] from Jerusalem.] |
And it shall [happen,] that [whoever] won't come up to Jerusalem, [from] all the families of the earth, to worship the King, the Lord of Hosts, [there] shall even be no rain upon them. [Isaiah 60:12 For the nation & kingdom that won't serve You, shall perish. [Yes,] those nations shall be [totally] wasted.] |
And if the family [from] Egypt, that [has] no rain, [doesn't] go up, & [doesn't] come to keep the Feast of Tabernacles, [then,] there shall be the plague, [with which,] the Lord will [strike] the heathen. |
[Deuteronomy 11:10-12 For the land, [where] you go in to possess, isn't [like] the land of Egypt, from [where] you came out, where you sow your seed [by foot] & you water it, [like] a garden of herbs. |
But the land, [where] you go to possess, is a land of hills & valleys, [that] [drink] the water [from] the rain of heaven. A land, which the Lord your God cares for. The eyes of the Lord your God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year, even [until] the end of the year.] |
This shall be the punishment of Egypt, & the punishment of all nations, that [don't] come up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles. [On] that day, there shall be [engraved] upon the [horses'] bells, HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD. And the pots in the Lord's house shall be like the bowl [in front of] the altar. |
[2 Kings 25:14-15 And they took away the: pots; shovels, [candle] snuffers; spoons; & all the vessels of brass, [with which] they ministered. And the firepans, & bowls, & such things as were [made] of gold, & gold and silver, & silver, the captain of [Babylon's] guard, took away.] |
[Yes,] every pot in Jerusalem & Judah shall be holiness to the Lord of Hosts. And all [those, who] sacrifice shall come & take them, & [boil in them.] And [on] that day, there shall no [longer] be [any] Canaanite in the house of the Lord of Hosts. |
[Isaiah 35:8 And [a] highway shall be there, & a [road.] And it shall be called: The [Road] of Holiness. The unclean shall not pass over it. But it shall be for those: the [traveling] men, [even if they are] fools, [a.k.a. simple minded,] [they] shall not [be led astray on it.] |
