What does Zechariah 14 say will happen to Jerusalem?
Zechariah 14 prophesies that the day of the Lord will come, and God will gather all nations against Jerusalem. The city's spoils will be divided in its midst. This prophecy is directed to the nation of Israel and sets the stage for the events of the day of the Lord.
Les explains that Zechariah 14 is prophecy directed to the nation of Israel. He reads verse 1: 'Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, and thy spoils shall be divided in the midst of thee.' Then verse 2 begins: 'For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem.' Les notes that we can see the stage being set today for this gathering of nations against Jerusalem. He emphasizes this is literal prophecy, just as the second coming is literal and bodily. He also points out that all Scripture is full of the second coming, in type as well as in a literal sense.
Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
