Much of the book of Zechariah looks forward to the restoration of Israel and the coming of the great King. This last chapter is no exception. The Lord Himself will come down and fight for Jerusalem. His feet shall stand on the Mount of Olives. The mount will split in half making a valley through its midst and through that valley will flow rivers of living waters. Then shall the Lord be king over all the earth. What a beautiful description of the second coming of Christ and the setting up of His kingdom on earth! All His saints should look forward with joy to His return.

What Does It Mean?

1. Zechariah 14:3Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
   See All... states, “Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations,” and Zechariah 14:5And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.
   See All... adds, “and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.” To what time period is Zechariah referring? What are these prophecies about?
2. Zechariah 14:4And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
   See All... describes the coming Christ at His second coming. As Jesus ascended from the Mount of Olives (Acts 1:9-12 [9] And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. [10] And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; [11] Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. [12] Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey.
   See All...), so He will return to the same mountain. Read Zechariah 14:4And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
   See All... very carefully and draw a map of the dividing of the mountain at the return of Christ.
3. Zechariah 14:9And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.
   See All... states, “And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.” What day is being referred to in this verse? What do you think it means that there will be one Lord and His name one?

What Does It Mean to Me?

1. Zechariah 14:6-7 [6] And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark: [7] But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
   See All... seems to refer to a time of half light and half darkness at the time of the Lord’s return: “the light shall not be clear, nor dark” and “not day, not night.” Read this strange description carefully. What do you think it describes? If you were to match a time in your life to this description, what time would it be?
2. In that day, “living waters shall go out from Jerusalem” (Zechariah 14:8And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
   See All...). The phrase, living waters, is only found four times in the Bible, the other three being Song of Solomon 4:15A fountain of gardens, a well of living waters, and streams from Lebanon.
   See All...; Jeremiah 2:13For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.
   See All...; Jeremiah 17:13O LORD, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters.
   See All.... See also John 4:10-14 [10] Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water. [11] The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water? [12] Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle? [13] Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: [14] But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
   See All...; John 7:38He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
   See All...; Revelation 7:17For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
   See All.... What are living waters? Of what are they a picture? How are they a blessing to us?
