Zaharija 14

1 Evo ide dan Gospodnji, i plen će se tvoj razdeliti usred tebe.

2 Jer ću skupiti sve narode na Jerusalim u boj, i grad će se uzeti, i kuće opleniti i žene osramotiti i polovina će grada otići u ropstvo, a ostali narod neće se istrebiti iz grada.

3 Jer će Gospod izaći, i vojevaće na narode kao što vojuje na dan kad je boj.

4 I noge će Njegove stati u taj dan na gori Maslinskoj koja je prema Jerusalimu s istoka, i gora će se Maslinska raspasti po sredi na istok i na zapad da će biti prodol vrlo velika, i polovina će gore ustupiti na sever a polovina na jug.

5 I bežaćete u prodol gorsku, jer će prodol gorska dopirati do Asala, i bežaćete kao što bežaste od trusa u vreme Ozije, cara Judinog; i doći će Gospod Bog moj, i svi će sveti biti s tobom.

6 I u taj dan neće biti videlo svetlo i mračno;

7 Nego će biti jedan dan, koji je poznat Gospodu, neće biti dan i noć, jer će i uveče biti svetlost.

8 I u taj će dan proteći iz Jerusalima voda živa, pola k istočnom moru a pola k zapadnom moru, i biće i leti i zimi.

9 I Gospod će biti car nad svom zemljom, u onaj dan biće Gospod jedan i ime Njegovo jedno.

10 I sva će se zemlja pretvoriti u ravnicu od Gavaje do Rimona s juga Jerusalimu, koji će se podignuti i naseliti na svom mestu od vrata Venijaminovih do mesta gde su prva vrata, do vrata na uglu, i od kule Ananeilove do teska carevog.

11 I oni će nastavati u njemu, i neće više biti prokletstva, i Jerusalim će stajati bez straha.

12 A ovo će biti zlo kojim će Gospod udariti sve narode koji bi vojevali na Jerusalim: telo će svakom posahnuti dok još stoji na nogu, i oči će svakom posahnuti u rupama svojim, i jezik će svakom posahnuti u ustima.

13 I u to će vreme biti velika smetnja među njima od Gospoda, i hvataće jedan drugog za ruku, i ruka će se jednog podignuti na ruku drugog.

14 A i Juda će vojevati na Jerusalim, i blago svih naroda unaokolo sabraće se, zlato i srebro i odelo vrlo mnogo.

15 I zlo kao to zlo snaći će konje, mazge, kamile i magarce i svu stoku koja bude u tom logoru.

16 I ko god ostane od svih naroda koji dođu na Jerusalim, svak će dolaziti od godine do godine da se pokloni caru Gospodu nad vojskama i da praznuje praznik senica.

17 I ako koje od plemena zemaljskih ne bi došlo u Jerusalim da se pokloni caru Gospodu nad vojskama, na njih neće biti dažda;

18 I ako se pleme misirsko ne bi podiglo i došlo, na koje ne daždi, biće isto zlo kojim će Gospod udariti narode koji ne bi dolazili da praznuju praznik senica.

19 Takav će biti greh Misircima i greh svim narodima koji ne bi dolazili da praznuju praznik senica.

20 U taj će dan biti na zvoncima konjskim: Svetinja Gospodu; i lonci će u domu Gospodnjem biti kao zdele pred oltarom;

21 I svi će lonci u Jerusalimu i u Judi biti svetinja Gospodu nad vojskama, i svi koji hoće da prinesu žrtvu dolazeći uzimaće ih i kuvati u njima; i u taj dan neće više biti Hananejca u domu Gospoda nad vojskama.

81. While we were talking in sorrow about these things, suddenly a burst of light shone about us, dazzling my eyes. I looked up, therefore, and behold, the whole sky above us appeared lit up, and we heard a glorification echoing across it in long succession from the east to the west.

Then the angel said to me, "The glorification you hear is a glorification of the Lord on account of His Advent, and it is coming from angels of the eastern and western heavens." (From the southern and northern heavens we heard only a polite murmur.)

Moreover, since he understood it all, the angel told me, first, that glorifications and celebrations of the Lord are taken from the Word, because then they come from the Lord, inasmuch as the Lord is the Word, in the sense that He is the essential Divine truth in the Word.

Then the angel said, "Specifically now, they are glorifying and celebrating the Lord with these words which were spoken by the prophet Daniel:

You saw iron mixed with miry clay; they will mingle together through the seed of man, but they will not cohere.... But (in those days) the God of heaven will make to rise a kingdom which for ages shall not perish...; it shall crush and consume all these kingdoms, while it shall stand for ages. (Daniel 2:43-44)"

[2] After this I heard what seemed to be the sound of singing, and deeper in the east I saw a burst of light more brilliant than the first. And I asked the angel what they were glorifying there.

The angel said that they were glorifying the Lord with these words in Daniel:

I was seeing in the visions of night, and behold, with the clouds of heaven, was One like the Son of man.... And to Him was given dominion...and a kingdom, and all peoples and nations...shall worship Him. His dominion is the dominion of an age, which shall not pass away, and His kingdom one which shall not perish. (Daniel 7:13-14)

In addition, the angel said, they are celebrating the Lord with these phrases taken from the book of Revelation:

To (Jesus Christ) be glory and might.... Behold, He is coming with clouds.... (He is) the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last..., who is, who was, and who is to come, the Almighty. I, John...heard...(this from the Son of Man from out of) the midst of the seven lampstands.... (Revelation 1:5-7; 22:13; 1:8-13; taken also from Matthew 24:30-31)

[3] I looked again into the eastern sky, and a light shone over to the right, whose glow extended into the southern hemisphere. Hearing as well a sweet sound, I asked the angel what aspect of the Lord they were glorifying there.

The angel said they were quoting these words in the book of Revelation:

I saw a new heaven and a new earth.... And I...saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride...for her husband.... And (an angel) talked with me and said, "Come, I will show you the bride, the Lamb's wife." And he carried me away in the spirit on to a great and high mountain, and showed me the...city, the holy Jerusalem.... (Revelation 21:1-2,9-10)

Also these words:

I, Jesus...am...the Bright and Morning Star. And the Spirit and the bride shall say, "Come!".... (And He said,) "I also am coming quickly." Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus! (Revelation 22:16-17,20)

[4] After these and other things, we heard a general glorification echoing across the sky from the east to the west and also from the south to the north, and I asked the angel, "What is happening now?"

He said they were quoting these verses from the Prophets:

Let all flesh know that I, Jehovah, am your Savior and your Redeemer.... (Isaiah 49:26)

Thus said Jehovah, the King of Israel, and his Redeemer, Jehovah of Hosts: "I am the First and the Last, and beside Me there is no God." (Isaiah 44:6)

It will be said in that day: "Behold, this is our God, whom we have waited for to free us. This is Jehovah, whom we have waited for." (Isaiah 25:9)

The voice of one crying in the wilderness, "Prepare the way of Jehovah...." ...Behold, the Lord Jehovih comes in strength.... He will feed His flock like a shepherd. (Isaiah 40:3,10-11)

Unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given..., whose name shall be...Wonderful, Counselor, God, Hero, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:6)

Behold, the days will come..., and I will raise to David a righteous Branch, who shall reign, a King.... And this is His name...: JEHOVAH OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. (Jeremiah 23:5-6; 33:15-16)

Jehovah of Hosts is His name, and your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. He shall be called God of the whole earth. (Isaiah 54:5)

In that day...Jehovah shall become King over all the earth. In that day there will be one Jehovah and His name will be one. (Zechariah 14:8-9)

[5] When I heard these things and understood their meaning, as a result my heart leapt, and I went home filled with joy. And there, returning from the state of my spirit into a bodily state, I wrote down what I had seen and heard. To which I now add this, that following His Advent the Lord will revive conjugial love, such as it was among ancient peoples. For conjugial love comes only from the Lord, and it is found in people who are made spiritual by Him through His Word.
