"Judah also will fight at Jerusalem"

Text: Zechariah 14:14

VICTORY ASSURED

The Lord’s personal involvement has a guaranteed result. Victory is assured.

“Judah also will fight at Jerusalem.
And the wealth of all the surrounding nations
Shall be gathered together:
Gold, silver, and apparel in great abundance.
Such also shall be the plague
On the horse and the mule,
On the camel and the donkey,
And on all the cattle that will be in those camps.
So shall this plague be.”
Zechariah 14:14-15
