Zechariah 14:6-10
14:7 a continuous day: The day of the Lord will bring fundamental changes to the created order (see Isa 60:19-22 b; Rev 21:22-25 c). This promise emphasizes that the sun and moon are created by God and are not eternal deities—light does not originate with them.14:8 d The life-giving waters ... from Jerusalem symbolize God’s life-giving presence among his people (see Ezek 47:1-12 e; Joel 3:18 f; John 7:37-39 g; Rev 22:1-2 h).
• half toward the Dead Sea and half toward the Mediterranean: Divine blessings will extend both east and west, flowing continuously. They will never stop bringing healing (see Isa 30:23-26 i).
14:9 j the Lord will be king: Zechariah envisions the ultimate fulfillment of many psalms (see Pss 47–48 k, 93 l, 97-99 m).
• there will be one Lord: This promise reaffirms Israel’s creed (Deut 6:4 n) and signals a final end of all idolatry.
14:10 o The towns Geba and Rimmon represent the north–south extent of the district including Jerusalem.
