ZECHARIAH 14— THE COMING OF THE LORD JESUS!!!

KEITH HUNT'S COMMENTARY

THE WORD "LORD" THROUGHOUT THIS CHAPTER IS YHVH — SOME  PRONOUNCE  IT  YAWAY - OTHERS YAOVAH OR

JAHOVAH

Zechariah 14

New Living Translation

The Lord Will Rule the Earth

14 Watch, for the Day of the Lord is coming when your possessions will be plundered right in front of you! 

 I will gather all the nations to fight against Jerusalem. The city will be taken, the houses looted, and the women raped. Half the population will be taken into captivity, and the rest will be left among the ruins of the city.

[THIS IS PROBABLY AT THE BEGINNING  OF THE LAST 42 MONTHS OF THIS AGE; THE TIME WHEN JUDAH WILL BE DESTROYED AND MANY SCATTERED. SOME WILL REMAIN AMONG THE RUINS, LUKE 21: 20, 21—  Keith Hunt]

3 Then the Lord will go out to fight against those nations, as he has fought in times past.

[WE NOW COME TO REVELATION 16 AND THE BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON— Keith Hunt]

4 On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem. 

[JESUS TOUCHES DOWN THE SAME DAY HE RETURNS. THE IDEA BY FRED COULTER, THAT JESUS COMES ON PENTECOST AND REMAINS IN THE CLOUDS ON THE SEA OF GLASS, WITH THE SAINTS, TO THE FEAST OF TRUMPETS, AND THEN COMES TO EARTH, IS ALL A BUNCH OF HOG-WASH, AND GOOBIDEE-GOO, FROM PLANET PLUTO.  NO SCRIPTURES ANYWHERE TO PROVE SUCH A FANCY DEDUCTION. IT IS ALL FROM THE MIND OF CLOUTER. AND IN IT ALL COULTER KNOWS THE DAY OF JESUS' COMING! WHICH JESUS SAID ONLY THE FATHER KNOWS THAT DAY!

IDEAS LIKE THIS MAKES FRED COULTER A CULT LEADER!

And the Mount of Olives will split apart, making a wide valley running from east to west. Half the mountain will move toward the north and half toward the south. 5 You will flee through this valley, for it will reach across to Azal.[a] Yes, you will flee as you did from the earthquake in the days of King Uzziah of Judah. 

[MANY PHYSICAL ISRAELITES, MOSTLY JEWS, WILL FLEE THROUGH THIS VALLEY, AS UNREAL THINGS WILL BE TAKING PLACE AROUND THEM. THEY WILL NOT BE SURE AS TO WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE SKY AND AROUND JERUSALEM— IT WILL PROBABLY BE A FEW HOURS BEFORE THEY REALIZE THE MESSIAH IS COMING TO RULE THE EARTH— Keith Hunt]

Then the Lord my God will come, and all his holy ones with him.[b]

[THE HOLY ONES WILL BE THE ANGELS; REVELATION SAYS THE ANGELS/ARMIES LIKE CHRIST, WILL BE RIDING WHITE HORSES— REV. 19: 11-14. THEN THAT DAY THE SAINTS WILL BE RESURRECTED; THE ONES LIVING CHANGED FROM MORTAL TO IMMORTAL, SEE 1 CORINTHIANS 15;  MAT. 24;  1        THES. 4: 13-18— Keith Hunt]

6 On that day the sources of light will no longer shine,[c] 7 yet there will be continuous day! Only the Lord knows how this could happen. There will be no normal day and night, for at evening time it will still be light.

[IT IS THE DAY THAT JESUS SAID ONLY THE FATHER KNOWS WHEN THAT DAY WILL COME; MAT. 24.  IT WILL CERTAINLY BE NO ORDINARY DAY— Keith Hunt]

8 On that day life-giving waters will flow out from Jerusalem, half toward the Dead Sea and half toward the Mediterranean,[d]flowing continuously in both summer and winter.

9 And the Lord will be king over all the earth. On that day there will be one Lord—his name alone will be worshiped.

10 All the land from Geba, north of Judah, to Rimmon, south of Jerusalem, will become one vast plain. But Jerusalem will be raised up in its original place and will be inhabited all the way from the Benjamin Gate over to the site of the old gate, then to the Corner Gate, and from the Tower of Hananel to the king’s winepresses. 11 And Jerusalem will be filled, safe at last, never again to be cursed and destroyed.

[JERUSALEM HAS NEVER BEEN FULLY SAFE, NEVER AGAIN TO BE CURSED OR DESTROYED— A PROPHECY FOR THE VERY END TIME— Keith Hunt]

12 And the Lord will send a plague on all the nations that fought against Jerusalem. Their people will become like walking corpses, their flesh rotting away. Their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths. 

13 On that day they will be terrified, stricken by the Lord with great panic. They will fight their neighbors hand to hand. 14 Judah, too, will be fighting at Jerusalem. 

[JUDAH WILL FINALLY SEE WHAT IS TAKING PLACE, THE COMING OF THE MESSIAH THAT THEY HAVE WAITED FOR SO LONG A TIME, IS NOW COMING— THEY THEN WILL ALSO FIGHT THE ENEMY— Keith Hunt]

The wealth of all the neighboring nations will be captured—great quantities of gold and silver and fine clothing.15 This same plague will strike the horses, mules, camels, donkeys, and all the other animals in the enemy camps.

[MUCH HAS BEEN HAPPENING AROUND JERUSALEM IN THE END TIME OF 42 MONTHS. MANY ARMIES FROM THE KINGS OF THE EAST WILL BE AROUND JERUSALEM. THE BEAST BABYLON/ROMAN  EMPIRE OF EUROPE WILL BE IN THE HOLY LAND; THE FALSE PROPHET ALSO; THE BEAST MAN, MILITARY LEADER, WILL BE THERE. THESE POWERS WILL BE GETTING READY TO FIGHT EACH OTHER FOR RULERSHIP OF THE EARTH. THEN CHRIST JESUS AND HIS ARMIES WILL APPEAR FROM THE CLOUDS.  THE PHYSICAL NATIONS WILL PROBABLY THINK AN INVASION FROM OUTER-SPACE IS COMING, AND THEY WILL JOIN TOGETHER TO FIGHT JESUS.  BUT AS WE HAVE SEEN THEIR FLESH WILL JUST MELT FROM THEIR BODY— Keith Hunt]

16 In the end, the enemies of Jerusalem who survive the plague will go up to Jerusalem each year to worship the King, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, and to celebrate the Festival of Shelters. 17 Any nation in the world that refuses to come to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, will have no rain. 18 If the people of Egypt refuse to attend the festival, the Lord will punish[e] them with the same plague that he sends on the other nations who refuse to go. 

19 Egypt and the other nations will all be punished if they don’t go to celebrate the Festival of Shelters.

20 On that day [OF OBSERVING THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES- KH] even the harness bells of the horses will be inscribed with these words: Holy to the lord. And the cooking pots in the Temple of the Lord will be as sacred as the basins used beside the altar. 21 In fact, every cooking pot in Jerusalem and Judah will be holy to the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. All who come to worship will be free to use any of these pots to boil their sacrifices. And on that day there will no longer be traders[f] in the Temple of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.

SHOCKING TO SOME, YES THERE WILL BE SACRIFICES  DONE AT JERUSALEM DURING THE 1,000 YEAR NEW AGE. THAT IS ANOTHER SUBJECT FOR ANOTHER TIME— Keith Hunt
