Zechariah 14:1-21


1 Behold, the day of YAHUVEH comes, and your spoil shall be divided among you. ( Joel 2:1-2, Is 13:6)
2 For I will gather all the nations to battle against Jerusalem. And the city shall be captured, and the houses plundered, and the women raped. And half the city shall go into exile and the rest of the people shall not be cut off from the city4. (Is 13:16, Joel 3:12)
3 And YAHUVEH shall go out and fight against those nations, like the day He fought in the day of battle.
4 And His feet shall stand in that day on the Mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east; and the Mount of Olives shall divide from its middle, from the east even to the west, a very great valley. And half of the mountain shall move toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
5 And you shall flee to the valley of My mountains, for the valley of the mountains shall reach to Azal. And you shall flee as you fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah, king of Judah. And YAHUVEH my Elohim shall come, and all the saints with You. (Math 24:30-31)
6 And it will be in that day, there shall not be light; the glorious ones will shrink.
7 And it will be one day which shall be known to YAHUVEH; not day and not night, but it will be, there will be light at evening time.
8 And it shall be in that day, living waters shall go out from Jerusalem, half of them shall go toward the eastern sea, and half of them toward the western sea; in summer and in winter it shall be. (Rev 22:1-2, Eze 47:1-9)
9 And YAHUVEH shall be King over all the earth. In that day YAHUVEH shall be united (echad), and His name united (echad).2
10 All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem. And it shall rise and dwell in its place, from Benjamin's Gate to the place of the First Gate, to the Corner Gate, and from the Tower of Hananeel to the king's winepresses.
11 And they shall live in it. And there shall not again be a shutting in, but Jerusalem shall dwell safely. (Lev 25:18-19)
12 And this shall be the plague with which YAHUVEH will strike all the peoples who have fought against Jerusalem: Their flesh shall rot while they stand on their feet, and their eyes will rest in their sockets, and their tongues shall rot in their mouths.
13 And it shall be in that day, a great panic of YAHUVEH shall be among them; and they shall each one lay hold of his neighbor, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbor3.
14 And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem. And the wealth of the surrounding nations shall be gathered, gold, and silver, and clothing, very much.
15 And so shall be the plague of the horse, the mule, the camel, and the donkey, and all the beasts which shall be in those camps, like this plague.
16 And it shall be, everyone who is left from all the nations which came up against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King, YAHUVEH of Hosts, and to keep the Feast of The Sukkot.
17 And it shall be, whoever will not go up from the families of the earth to Jerusalem to worship the King, YAHUVEH of Hosts, there shall even be no rain on them.
18 And if the family of Egypt does not go up, nor come in, then the rain shall not be on them, but the plague with which YAHUVEH shall strike the nations who do not come up to keep the Feast of the Sukkot4.
19 This shall be Egypt's offense, and the offense of all nations who do not come up to keep the Feast of Sukkot.
20 In that day there shall be on the bells of the horses, HOLY TO YAHUVEH. And the pots in the house of YAHUVEH shall be like the bowls before the altar.
21 And every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holy to YAHUVEH of Hosts. And all those who sacrifice shall come and take of them, and boil in them. And in that day there shall not be a trader in the house of YAHUVEH of Hosts any more. (Math 21:12-13, Is 56:6-7)

Luke 2:1–20;


1 Now it happened in those days that a decree went out from Augustus Caesar that the names of all the people of his dominion should be written down.
2 This registration first occurred under the governing of Syria by Cyrenius.
3 And all went to be registered, each to his own city.
4 And Joseph also went from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth to Judea, to the city of David which is called Bethlehem, because of his being of the house and family of David,
5 to be registered with Mariam the one having been betrothed to him as wife, she being pregnant.
6 And it happened as they were there the days were fulfilled for her to bear.
7 And she bore her son, the Firstborn. And she wrapped Him in swaddling clothes and laid Him in the manger1, because there was no room where they could lodge.
8 And shepherds were in the same region living in the fields and keeping guard over their flock by night.
9 And, behold, a cherub of Elohim came on them. And the glory of YAHUVEH shone around them. And they feared with a great fear.
10 And the cherub said to them, Do not fear. For, behold, I proclaim good news to you, a great joy, which will be to all the world,
11 For today is born to you in the city of David, the Savior, who is YAHUVEH2, the Messiah.
12 And this is a sign to you: You will find an infant having been wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in the manger.
13 And suddenly there was with the cherub a multitude of the heavenly host, praising YAHUVEH and saying, 14 Glory to YAHUVEH in the highest, and peace on earth, good will among men.
15 And it happened as the cherubs departed from them into the heaven, even the men, the shepherds, said to one another, Indeed, let us go over to Bethlehem, and let us see this thing occurring, which YAHUVEH made known to us.
16 And hurrying, they came and sought out both Mariam and Joseph, and the Babe lying in the manger.
17 And seeing, they publicly told about the word spoken to them about this Child.
18 And all those hearing marveled about the things spoken to them by the shepherds.
19 And Mariam kept all these words, meditating in her heart.
20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising YAHUVEH for all things which they heard and saw, even as was spoken to them.
