Zakharia 2:5

Zakharia 14:1

The Sovereignty of the Lord

14:1 A day of the Lord ³  is about to come when your possessions ⁴  will be divided as plunder in your midst.

[2:5]  ¹ tn Heb “her”; the referent (Jerusalem) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[2:12]  ² tn Heb “will inherit” (so NIV, NRSV).

[14:1]  ³ sn The eschatological day of the Lord described here (and through v. 8) is considered by many interpreters to refer to the period known as the great tribulation, a seven year time of great suffering by God’s (Jewish) people culminating in the establishing of the millennial reign of the Lord (vv. 9-21). For other OT and NT references to this aspect of the day of the Lord see Amos 9:8-15; Joel 1:15–2:11; Isa 1:24-31; 2:2-4; 4:2-6; 26:16–27:6; 33:13-24; 59:1–60:22; 65:13-25; Jer 30:7-11; 32:36-44; Ezek 20:33-44; Dan 11:40; 12:1; Matt 24:21, 29; 25:31-46; Rev 19:11-16.

[14:1]  ⁴ tn Heb “your plunder.” Cf. NCV “the wealth you have taken.”
