Zechariah 14:6

"You shall flee by the valley of my mountains, for the valley of the mountains shall reach to Azel. Yes, you shall flee, just like you fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. The LORD my God will come, and all the holy ones with you."

Key Reflection

This verse envisions a time when people will flee to the valley of the mountains during a great calamity, recalling their past escape from an earthquake in Uzziah's days. It foretells that God and His holy ones will ultimately rescue them, symbolizing both historical preservation and divine protection.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

The light shall not be clear nor dark -Or, more probably, according to the original reading , “In that day there will be no light; the bright ones will contract themselves,” as it is said, “The stars shall withdraw their shining.” This is evermore the description of the Day of Judgment, that, in the presence of God who is Light, all earthly light shall grow pale. So Joel had said, “The sun and moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining”Joel 3:15.
