Zacarias 14:5

5 Ustedes huirán por el valle de mi monte, porque se extenderá hasta Asal. Huirán como huyeron del terremoto en los días de Uzías, rey de Judá. Entonces vendrá el SEÑOR mi Dios, acompañado de todos sus fieles.

Zacarias 14:5 Meaning and Commentary

Zechariah 14:5

And ye shall flee [to] the valley of the mountains
To seek for shelter and safety in them, for fear of the Lord, and the glory of his majesty, whom every eye shall see, ( Isaiah 2:19 ) ( Revelation 1:7 ) : for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal;
a name of a place not known; it may be thought to be at some considerable distance: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in
the days of Uzziah king of Judah;
two years before which Amos prophesied, ( Amos 1:1 ) and which, according to Josephus F9, was at the time when King Uzziah was stricken with a leprosy for invading the priest's office; when, as he says, at a place before the city called Eroge, half part of the mountain towards the west was broken, and rolled half a mile towards the eastern part, and there stood; so that the ways were stopped up to the king's gardens: and the Lord my God shall come;
the Lord Jesus Christ, who is truly God, and the God of his people; and who will appear to be so at his second coming, which is here meant, by raising the dead, gathering all nations before him, and separating them; by bringing to light all secret and hidden things; judging the whole world, and executing the sentence on them; and particularly by taking his own people to himself: [and] all the saints with thee:
the Targum, and the Septuagint, Syriac, and Arabic versions, read, "with him"; meaning either the holy angels; so Aben Ezra, Kimchi, and Ben Melech; who will attend him partly for the glory of his majesty, and partly for terror to the wicked, and also for service; or rather glorified saints, the spirits of just men made perfect, whom Christ will bring with him to be united to their bodies, which will now be raised, and to be with him in the new heavens and new earth, which will now be formed, and to be presented to him, and dwell with him, during the thousand years.

Zacarias 14:5 In-Context

3 Entonces saldrá el SEÑOR y peleará contra aquellas naciones, como cuando pelea en el día de la batalla.
4 »En aquel día pondrá el SEÑOR sus pies en el monte de los Olivos, que se encuentra al este de Jerusalén, y el monte de los Olivos se partirá en dos de este a oeste, y formará un gran valle, con una mitad del monte desplazándose al norte y la otra mitad al sur.
5 Ustedes huirán por el valle de mi monte, porque se extenderá hasta Asal. Huirán como huyeron del terremoto en los días de Uzías, rey de Judá. Entonces vendrá el SEÑOR mi Dios, acompañado de todos sus fieles.
6 »En aquel día no habrá luz, ni hará frío.
7 Será un día excepcional, que solo el SEÑOR conoce: no tendrá día ni noche, pues cuando llegue la noche, seguirá alumbrando la luz.
