What Old Testament passage is almost a carbon copy of Revelation's account of the last great battle before Christ returns?

The Old Testament passage is Zechariah 14. It describes the day of the Lord, the gathering of all nations against Jerusalem, and the last great battle before Christ returns, closely paralleling Revelation's account of the beast, kings, and armies gathered to war.

Les teaches that Zechariah 14 is a beautiful, almost carbon copy of the book of Revelation concerning this last great battle before the return of Christ. In Zechariah 14 it says, “Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, and thy spoils shall be divided in the midst of thee, for I will gather all nations against Jerusalem.” Revelation’s account likewise shows the beast, the man Antichrist, with the kings of the earth and their armies gathered to make war against the one sitting on the horse and against his army. Les also notes that Zechariah is the next-to-last book in the Old Testament.
