Zechariah 14:1-21

THE LORD WILL BE KING OVER THE EARTH

Keywords 14:9

The LORD will be king over the whole earth. On that day there will be one LORD, and his name the only name.

 

1. On that day there will be one LORD (1-9)

Before the Messianic Kingdom is established all nations will gather against

Jerusalem to destroy it. The LORD will go out and fight, rescuing his people. That

day will be a unique day; there will be light day and night. Living water will flow out

from Jerusalem, and God will be king over all the earth, his name the only name.

Zechariah had this hope: “The LORD my God will come, and all the holy ones

with him.” Jesus teaches us to have this same hope, when he foretold his coming

again (Mk 13).

 

2. All nations will go up to worship the King (10-21)

The world on that day will be different. All the nations of the world will go up to

worship the King, the LORD Almighty. The Feast of Tabernacles was the harvest

celebration. God’s blessings will be poured out on all who dwell (tabernacle)

together with him. All will be marked “HOLY TO THE LORD”, even the horses and

pots! We will be secure.

 

Prayer Father, thank you for showing us that day. Help me live with hope in your

coming kingdom.

One Word Worship our King Jesus
