ZECHARIAH 14 - THE VICTORY OF MESSIAH-KING

THE FINAL ACT UPON LIFE'S STAGE

REVEALS THE BLOODIEST SCENES OF ALL

WHERE DEATH AND CARNAGE, RAPE AND SWORD

ARE MET WITH JUDGMENT FROM THE LORD.

THE ARMIES OF THE WORLD ARE SEEN

AROUND MEGIDDO'S OPEN PLAIN

WHERE REVELATION FORCES MEET

AND SATAN'S PLOT ENDS IN DEFEAT.

AS ANTICHRIST TAKES DAVID'S THRONE

DEMANDING WORSHIP FOR HIS OWN

THE BROKEN COVENANT HE MADE

LEAVES EVERY JEW IN SHOCK AFRAID.

THEN SUDDENLY ALL LIGHTS GROW DIM

THE SUN AND MOON REFUSE TO SHINE

A SPECIAL DAY BURSTS INTO SIGHT

THE BRIDE AND GROOM APPEAR IN WHITE.

THE KING-MESSIAH TAKES HIS STAND

AND WITH ONE BREATH DESTROYS HIS FOES

WHEN EVERY WARRIOR'S FLESH DROPS OFF

IT IS THE LAST OF ISRAEL'S WOES.

THEN SATAN'S REIGN WILL BE REPLACED

A THOUSAND YEARS OF LASTING PEACE

WILL FLOOD THE WORLD FROM ZION'S THRONE

WHERE JESUS CHRIST WILL REIGN ALONE.

JERUSALEM WILL RISE IN HEIGHT

AND ALL THE NATIONS THAT REMAIN

WILL JOIN WITH JEWS TO CELEBRATE

THE PRAISE AND HONOR DUE HIS NAME.

WHEN PROPHECY AND HISTORY MERGE

THE FINAL SCENE WILL END IN TIME

AND HOLINESS WILL BE THE SEAL

BEFORE WHOM EVERYONE WILL KNEEL.

--B. Pent

THOUGHT QUESTIONS

1. Three major events are described in this last chapter: the Great Tribulation invasion of Jerusalem; the destruction of those Nations

attacking her; and, the establishment of Christ's millennial reign. As you read Daniel 9:27, what event triggers this final battle?

2. What are some of the contributing factors leading to the final Armageddon Battle (vs.1-2)?

3. Verse 4 seems to be connected with the seventh bowl judgment of Revelation 16:18-19. Explain! How might this great earthquake help the

Jewish people during this time?

4. The special "day" described in verses 6-7 is identical to the passage in Matthew 24:29-30. What are some of the things that will make this

particular day so uniquely different from other days? What "day" is he describing and why might the Lord want that "day" to be

uniquely different from any other day that has ever existed?

5. Verse 8 describes a river that flows out of Jerusalem. Is that the same as the one described in Isaiah 35:1,6; Ezekiel 47:1-12 and

Psalm 46:1-4? What is your opinion?

6. In summary: what will happen when Jesus returns to earth again? Describe some of the major events. What will happen to the

Antichrist, false prophet and Satan? What part does Israel and the Church play during the Millennial Kingdom? What then should

we live in the light of these world-shaking events?
