Zechariah 14:8

"It will be a unique day which is known to the LORD—not day, and not night; but it will come to pass that at evening time there will be light."

Key Reflection

Zechariah 14:8 describes a significant eschatological event where the boundaries between day and night are transcended, creating a unique and unprecedented day that is known solely to God. This verse envisions a moment of divine intervention where darkness gives way to light at evening, symbolizing the arrival of God's kingdom on earth with unparalleled clarity and illumination.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

And it shall be, that living waters -Kimchi: “This is what is said in the prophecy of Joel, ‘A fountain shall come forth from the house of the Lord’Joel 3:18; and in that of Ezekiel, ‘And behold there ran out waters.’Ezekiel 47:2.” Zechariah leaves to the mind to supply what the former prophets had said of the fertilizing life-giving character of those waters.
