Zechariah 14 Question?

What is Zechariah 14 dealing with ,and what is the entire chapter about ?

You'll probably get different opinions on this question.
Here's mine;

It starts with the time of tribulation which is covered by Revelation chapters 6-19

It speaks of the Second Coming of Jesus to the earth with His saints like Revelation chapter 19

It speaks of the time of the kingdom, i.e. Jesus will sit on the throne of David and will rule on the earth from the city of Jerusalem

During the reign of Jesus there will be a time of a world wide religion which will include a Temple in Jerusalem, animal sacrifices, and observance of old Jewish feasts

You may want to study more and get your tongue out of your cheek.

The idea that there will be a temple and animal sacrifice is preposterous. He was sacrificed ONCE for ALL!

There is and never will be salvation outside of the gospel of Jesus Christ, death, burial and resurrection.

Jesus himself said that destroy the temple made with hands and in 3 days he would raise up a temple not made with hands. He is the temple today and forever and all worship is to be done in him. We enter the temple through baptism as we put on Christ when we are baptized into Christ. We are therefore in the temple worshiping. There is no animal sacrifice but we do sacrifice our will for his will.

The Kingdom of God is present with us. His Kingdom is not of this world yet it is abiding in this world. He presently reigns in this kingdom. He told Nicodemus and all the rest of us how to enter into the Kingdom of God. Obey these scriptures and begin to live in the provision of the Lord!

Dude,

Lighten up. I didn't bother to read the passage....

No seriously I don't understand this chapter as well as I would like to.
Bro.PJ I appreciate your answer.

I think much depends if we think the 1000 years is another dispensation or not. I certainly think it is but I stand to be corrected...

Zech 14:1 - Zech 14:21 (KJV)

1Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
2For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.

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.
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.
6And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:
7But 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.

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.
9And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.
10All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem: and it shall be lifted up, and inhabited in her place, from Benjamin’s gate unto the place of the first gate, unto the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananeel unto the king’s winepresses.
11And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.

12And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.
13And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the LORD shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.
14And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the heathen round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance.
15And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in these tents, as this plague.

16And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.
17And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.
18And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the LORD will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
19This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.

20In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD; and the pots in the LORD’S house shall be like the bowls before the altar.
21Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the LORD of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of the LORD of hosts.

The appears to be speaking of the end time when Israel is attack and the Lord steps in and saves the day. The bolded portion could be speaking of some type of nuclear attack. I read a book about Hiroshima and there was a picture of a women that appeared to have been crying and her mascara was running in a line down each cheek, except it was not mascara. She was looking at the blast and her eyes melted and her vitreous solution (liquid in the eye) run down her cheeks burning them.

Zech 14:7-9
8 And 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.
9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.
KJV

The New Jersulam is the church, and the day has come that living waters flow from the church to the lost world. Jesus said, out of your bellies will flow rivers of living water... the same living waters.

Prase God, His name is one... and that one is Jesus.
