Zechariah 12:8

12:8 On that day the Lord himself will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the weakest among them will be like mighty David, and the dynasty of David will be like God, like the angel of the Lord before them. ¹ 

Zechariah 14:8

14:8 Moreover, on that day living waters will flow out from Jerusalem, ²  half of them to the eastern sea ³  and half of them to the western sea; ⁴  it will happen both in summer and in winter.

¹ sn The statement the dynasty of David will be like God is hyperbole to show the remarkable enhancements that will accompany the inauguration of the millennial age.

² sn Living waters will flow out from Jerusalem. Ezekiel sees this same phenomenon in conjunction with the inauguration of the messianic age (Ezek 47; cf. Rev 22:1-5; also John 7:38).

³ sn The eastern sea is a reference to the Dead Sea (cf. NCV, TEV, CEV, NLT).

⁴ sn The western sea is a reference to the Mediterranean Sea (cf. NCV, TEV, CEV, NLT).
