Behold, YAHWEH, will have his day! And Jerusalem, when that day comes, your plunder will be divided in your midst. For I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem for battle. The city will be captured, the houses ransacked, and the women raped. Half the people will go into exile, but the rest will be allowed to remain in the city. Then YAHWEH will intervene and fight against those nations as when he fights on a day of battle. On that day, his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem. Then the Mount of Olives will be divided down the middle, forming a wide valley that runs from east to west. So half the Mount will move backward to the north and the other half to the south. When this happens, you will escape by way of my newly formed valley, which will extend as far as Azal. You will flee as your ancestors fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. And YAHWEH your God will come and all the holy ones with him. On that day, there will be no light, neither cold nor frost. It will be a unique day, a day known only to YAHWEH. There will be no more day and night, and even at evening, it will remain light. On that day, living waters will flow from Jerusalem, half toward the Dead Sea, half toward the Mediterranean Sea. And they will flow in the summer and winter. Then King YAHWEH will rule over the whole world. When that day comes, YAHWEH will be the one and only God, and everyone will acknowledge him by one single name.

Like Haggai, Zechariah prophesies during the post-exilic period as Israel began resettling in the Promised Land. Zechariah encourages Israel to remain faithful and prophesies of a coming righteous King who will bring salvation to His people (Zechariah 9:10). This book reminds us that we too must be to what God has called us to, always hopefully anticipating when God Himself “will be king over all the earth” (Zechariah 14:9).
