Zacarias 14:4-9

4 Naquele dia estarão os seus pés sobre o monte das Oliveiras, que está defronte de Jerusalém para o oriente; se o monte das Oliveiras será fendido pelo meio, do oriente para o ocidente e haverá um vale muito grande; e metade do monte se removerá para o norte, e a outra metade dele para o sul.

5 E fugireis pelo vale dos meus montes, pois o vale dos montes chegará até Azel; e fugireis assim como fugistes de diante do terremoto nos dias de uzias, rei de Judá. Então virá o Senhor meu Deus, e todos os santos com ele.

6 Acontecerá naquele dia, que não haverá calor, nem frio, nem geada;

7 porém será um dia conhecido do Senhor; nem dia nem noite será; mas até na parte da tarde haverá luz.

8 Naquele dia também acontecerá que correrão de Jerusalém águas vivas, metade delas para o mar oriental, e metade delas para o mar ocidental; no verão e no inverno sucederá isso.

9 E o Senhor será rei sobre toda a terra; naquele dia um será o Senhor, e um sera o seu nome.

Zacarias 14:4-9 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO ZECHARIAH 14

This chapter treats of the coming of Christ with all his saints, and his personal appearance among them; and of the signs of the times before that; and of what shall befall the enemies of the church, both open and secret; and of the happy state and condition of the church itself. First there will be a time of great affliction to the people of God, Zec 14:1,2, when the Lord will appear and fight for them, and will appear to them, and with them, Zec 14:3-5 but before this time it will be an uncommon season, neither day nor night; at the close of which, light will break forth, Zec 14:6,7 the Gospel will be spread far and near, attended with the Spirit and grace of God in great plenty, Zec 14:8 which will bring on the spiritual reign of Christ over all the earth, Zec 14:9 particularly the land of Judea, and the city of Jerusalem, shall be inhabited by men with safety, Zec 14:10,11 and all those that oppose and fight against the Lord's people shall be destroyed, partly by an immediate plague from the Lord upon them, and partly by the hands of one another, and also by the saints of the most High; and the plague shall not only be upon their persons, but upon their cattle likewise, Zec 14:12-16 and as for those that profess the Christian name, and yet neglect or refuse to worship the Lord in a spiritual and evangelical manner, there shall be no rain upon them, Zec 14:17-19 and as for the church and people of God, there shall be universal holiness among them, and not a single Canaanite to be found in the midst of them, Zec 14:20,21.
