Zechariah 14:1-21
A day of the Lord is coming, Jerusalem, when your possessions will be plundered and divided up within your very walls.
Then the Lord will go out and fight against those nations, as he fights on a day of battle. On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving north and half moving south. You will flee by my mountain valley, for it will extend to Azel. You will flee as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the Lord my God will come, and all the holy ones with him.
On that day there will be neither sunlight nor cold, frosty darkness.
On that day living water will flow out from Jerusalem, half of it east to the Dead Sea and half of it west to the Mediterranean Sea, in summer and in winter.
The Lord will be king over the whole earth. On that day there will be one Lord, and his name the only name.
It will be inhabited; never again will it be destroyed. Jerusalem will be secure.
This will be the punishment of Egypt and the punishment of all the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles.
On that day holy to the Lord will be inscribed on the bells of the horses, and the cooking pots in the Lord’s house will be like the sacred bowls in front of the altar. Every pot in Jerusalem and Judah will be holy to the Lord Almighty, and all who come to sacrifice will take some of the pots and cook in them. And on that day there will no longer be a Canaanite in the house of the Lord Almighty.
No longer be a Canaanite: means no merchant.
Pictures the final war of the nations against Jerusalem, and its outcome: the day of God's judgment. God himself appears with his angels, ushering in the perpetual day. The whole earth will become God's kingdom and all will worship him.
Those who set themselves against God will meet a horrendous fate. All those who survive will join God's people in worship. Everything, down to the humblest pot in the kitchen, will be made over to God, cleansed, and dedicated to his service.
The New Testament book of Revelation, chapters 21 and 22, echoes many of the detail in this great final to the book of Zechariah.
Why?
On the day of the Lord, there is a great war, then the Lord is coming to protect his people and get rid of all of the enemies and the sins.
On the day there is no light, there is flow from Jerusalem, and there will be only one Lord.
All of the merchants. there is no business, everything is provided by the Lord and everyone shares it.

1.聖城危急, 基督再臨:為何神要到城被攻破，婦女被玷污，神才來拯救。不是所有耶路撒冷的人都會得救，而是跟隨主、敬畏神的人才會得救，為拜偶像的有哀苦的人，有聖靈的印記，才能得到保護。
2.新耶路撒冷： 耶穌降臨後，不再有黑夜。神自己就是光。不再有乾季、雨季，神提供永遠的活水。
3.基督是我一切的主： 不再有王，神的名是獨一無二。在百姓中已經建立唯一性。
不再有咒詛，不再有天災人禍。侵略者的結局:好像得到什麼傳染病
在敬畏神的前提下，所有的東西都是屬靈的，值得記念的！

How?
May the Lord be my Lord forever, and may the wisdom, righteous be my wisdom and righteous.
