- Insight from Butler’s Daily Bible Reading: Zechariah 14—Prospects. The future of Jerusalem and Israel is in view. •Conflict: the nations in the conflict (all nations to fight Jerusalem); the nature of the conflict (awful). •Conqueror: when the Lord conquers the nations, it will involve the region (earthquake will change it); the replacement (He will replace light); the river (a river will flow from Jerusalem, cp. Ezekiel 47); the ruler (the Lord will be king). •Changes: there will be a fertile land, a filled land (with people), and a free land (free of danger). •Curse: upon warriors (who warred against Israel); upon worshippers (who did not come to Jerusalem to worship). •Character: holy everywhere.
