Zechariah 14

Zechariah 14 prophesies the eschatological Day of YHWH when nations besiege Jerusalem, but YHWH returns, standing on the Mount of Olives which splits to form an escape valley, flattens the land into a plain, and destroys enemies through panic, plagues, and Judah's fighting.[1][2][3] Living waters flow from Jerusalem, YHWH becomes king over all earth with one name, and surviving nations must ascend yearly to worship at Sukkot or face punishment like no rain.[2][4]
