Zechariah 14:1-8 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

1. The Lord’s day of judging is coming. The wealth you have taken will be divided among you.

2. I will bring all the nations together to fight Jerusalem. They will capture the city and rob the houses. The women will be raped. Half the people will be taken away as captives. But the rest won’t be taken from the city.

3. Then the Lord will go to war against those nations. He will fight as in a day of battle.

4. On that day he will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem. The Mount of Olives will split in two. A deep valley will run east and west. Half the mountain will move north. And half will move south.

5. You will run through this mountain valley to the other side. You will run as you ran from the earthquake. That was when Uzziah was king of Judah. Then the Lord my God will come. And all the holy ones will be with him.

6. On that day there will be no light, cold or frost.

7. There will be no other day like it. The Lord knows when it will come. There will be no day or night. Even at evening it will still be light.

8. At that time fresh water will flow from Jerusalem. Half of it will flow east to the Dead Sea. And half of it will flow west to the Mediterranean Sea. It will flow summer and winter.
