Zechariah 14:9-21
The Lord will be king over the whole earth. On that day there will be one Lord. His name will be the only name.The whole land south of Jerusalem will be changed. From Geba to Rimmon it will become like the Arabah Valley. But Jerusalem will be raised up high. It will be raised from the Benjamin Gate to the First Gate to the Corner Gate. It will be raised from the Tower of Hananel to the royal winepresses. And it will remain in its place.People will live in it. Jerusalem will never be destroyed again. It will be secure.The Lord will punish all the nations that fought against Jerusalem. He’ll strike them with a plague. It will make their bodies rot while they are still standing on their feet. Their eyes will rot in their heads. Their tongues will rot in their mouths.On that day the Lord will fill people with great panic. They will grab one another by the hand. And they’ll attack one another.Judah will also fight at Jerusalem. The wealth of all the surrounding nations will be collected. Huge amounts of gold, silver and clothes will be gathered up.The same kind of plague will strike the horses, mules, camels and donkeys. In fact, it will strike all the animals in the army camps.But some people from all the nations that have attacked Jerusalem will still be left alive. All of them will go up there to worship the King. He is the Lord who rules over all. Year after year these people will celebrate the Feast of Booths.Some nations might not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King. If they don’t, they won’t have any rain.The people of Egypt might not go up there to take part. Then they won’t have any rain either. That’s the plague the Lord will send on the nations that don’t go to celebrate the Feast of Booths.Egypt will be punished. So will all the other nations that don’t celebrate the feast.On that day“ Holy to the Lord” will be carved on the bells of the horses. The cooking pots in the Lord’ s temple will be just like the sacred bowls in front of the altar for burnt offerings.Every pot in Jerusalem and Judah will be set apart to the Lord. All those who come to offer sacrifices will get some of the pots and cook in them. At that time there won’t be any Canaanites in the Lord’ s temple. He is the Lord who rules over all.
