Zechariah 8:14-23

“For I, YAHWEH, Commander of Angel Armies, say to you: Just as I determined to bring calamity when your ancestors made me angry and I showed no pity, so now I have determined to treat Judah and Jerusalem well and make them prosperous. So do not be afraid! “Here is what you must do: Speak the truth to one another. Pursue justice in your courts, and hand down verdicts that are sound. Have no evil scheme in your hearts against one another. Do not take delight in committing perjury, for these are things that I hate, declares YAHWEH.” Then YAHWEH, Commander of Angel Armies, spoke these words to me: “I, YAHWEH, Commander of Angel Armies, say this to you: Instead of having days of fasting in the fourth, fifth, seventh, and tenth months, the people of Judah are to have cheerful, joy-filled festivals. Simply live together peacefully and love truth.” YAHWEH, Commander of Angel Armies, says this, “In the future, people from many nations and cities will come streaming to Jerusalem. Citizens of one city will say to the people of another city: ‘We must certainly go and worship YAHWEH, Commander of Angel Armies, and seek his blessing. I am determined to go.’ ” Yes, many peoples and many nations will worship YAHWEH, Commander of Angel Armies, in Jerusalem and seek his blessing. YAHWEH, Commander of Angel Armies, says this, “In that day, there will be ten men who take hold of the robe of a Jew. They will come from all nations, speaking every language, and will say: ‘We have heard that God is with you! We want to go with you.’ ”
