Zechariah 14:3

14:3 Then the Lord will go to battle and fight against those nations, just as he fought battles in ancient days.

Zechariah 8:13

8:13 And it will come about that just as you (both Judah and Israel) were a curse to the nations, so I will save you and you will be a blessing. Do not be afraid! Instead, be strong!’


sn The statement the Lord will go to battle introduces the conflict known elsewhere as the “battle of Armageddon,” a battle in which the Lord delivers his people and establishes his millennial reign (cf. Joel 3:12, 15-16; Ezek 38–39; Rev 16:12-21; 19:19-21).

tn Heb “as he fights on a day of battle” (similar NASB, NIV, NRSV).
