CHAP. XIV.
After the persecutions of the
church shall follow great
prosperity. Persecutors shall
be punished: so shall all
that will not serve God in
his church.
1 Behold the days of
the Lord shall come,
and thy spoils shall be divided
in the midst of thee.
2 And note I will gather
all nations to Jerusalem to
battle, and the city shall be
taken, and the houses shall
be rifled, and the women
shall be defiled: and half of
the city shall go forth into
captivity, and the rest of
the people shall not be taken
away out of the city.
3 Then the Lord shall go
forth, and shall fight against
those nations, as when he
fought in the day of battle.
4 And his feet shall stand
in that day upon the mount
of Olives, which is over-against
Jerusalem toward the
east: and the mount of
Olives shall be divided in
the midst thereof to the east,
and to the west with a very
great opening, and half of
the mountain shall be separated
to the north, and half
thereof to the south.
5 And you shall flee to
the valley of those mountains,
for the valley of the
mountains shall be joined
even to the next, and you
shall flee as you fled from
the face of the earthquake
in the days of Ozias king of
Juda: and the Lord my
God shall come, and all the
saints with him.
6 And it shall come to
pass in that day, that there
shall be note no light, but cold
and frost.
7 And there shall be one
day, which is known to the
Lord, not day nor night:
and note in the time of the
evening there shall be light.
8 And it shall come to
pass in that day, that note
living waters shall go out
-- --
from Jerusalem: half of
them to the east sea, and
half of them to the last sea:
they shall be in summer and
in winter.
9 And the Lord shall be
king over all the earth: in
that day there shall be one
Lord, and his name shall be
one.
10 And note all the land
shall return even to the desart,
from the hill to Remmon
to the south of Jerusalem:
and she shall be exalted,
and shall dwell in her
own place, from the gate of
Benjamin even to the place
of the former gate, and even
to the gate of the corners:
and from the tower of Hananeel
even to the king's
wine-presses.
11 And people shall
dwell in it, and there shall
be no more an anathema:
but Jerusalem shall abide
secure.
12 And this shall be the
plague, wherewith the Lord
shall strike all nations that
have fought against Jerusalem:
note the flesh of every
one shall consume away while
they stand upon their feet,
and their eyes shall consume
away in their holes, and
their tongue shall consume
away in their mouth.
13 In that day there shall
be a great tumult from the
Lord among them: and a
man shall take the hand of
his neighbour, and his hand
shall be clasped upon his
neighbour's hand.
14 And note even Juda
shall fight against Jerusalem:
and the riches of all
nations round about shall
be gathered together, gold,
and silver, and garments in
great abundance.
15 And the destruction
of the horse, and of the
mule, and of the camel, and
of the ass, and of all the
beasts, that shall be in those
-- --
tents, note shall be like this
destruction.
16 And all note they that
shall be left of all nations
that came against Jerusalem,
shall go up from year to
year, to adore the King,
the Lord of hosts, and to
note keep the feast of tabernacles.
17 And it shall come to
pass, that he that shall not
go up of the families of the
land to Jerusalem, to adore
the King, the Lord of hosts,
there shall be no rain upon
them.
18 And if the family of
Egypt go not up, nor come:
neither shall it be upon them,
but there shall be destruction,
wherewith the Lord will
strike all nations that will
not go up to keep the feast
of tabernacles.
19 This shall be the sin
of Egypt, and this the sin
of all nations, that will not
go up to keep the feast of
tabernacles.
20 In that day note that
which is upon the bridle of
the horse shall be holy to the
Lord: and the cauldrons in
the house of the Lord shall
be as the bowls before the
altar.
21 And every cauldron
in Jerusalem and Juda shall
be sanctified to the Lord of
-- --
hosts: and all that sacrifice,
shall come, and take of them,
and shall seethe in them: and
note the merchant shall be
no more in the house of the
Lord of hosts in that day.
