It is a time when God intervenes in human history to bring judgment and salvation. This concept is prevalent in the prophetic books and is associated with both immediate and future fulfillment. The "day" signifies a period of divine action, often linked to the end times.<p><b>there will be no light</b><br>The absence of light can symbolize judgment or a dramatic change in the natural order. In biblical terms, light often represents God's presence, truth, and revelation. The lack of light here may indicate a period of divine judgment or a supernatural alteration of creation. This imagery is reminiscent of the darkness that fell over Egypt during the plagues (<a href="/exodus/10-21.htm">Exodus 10:21-23</a>) and the darkness at the crucifixion of Christ (<a href="/matthew/27-45.htm">Matthew 27:45</a>).<p><b>no cold or frost</b><br>The mention of "no cold or frost" suggests a disruption of natural weather patterns, indicating a supernatural event. In the ancient Near East, cold and frost were less common but still significant, affecting agriculture and daily life. The absence of these elements could symbolize a new creation or a return to a pre-fall state, where the natural world is transformed. This aligns with prophetic visions of a renewed earth (<a href="/isaiah/65-17.htm">Isaiah 65:17</a>, <a href="/revelation/21.htm">Revelation 21:1</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/z/zechariah.htm">Zechariah</a></b><br>A prophet in the Old Testament who conveyed God's messages to the people of Israel, particularly concerning the future and the coming of the Messiah.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/j/jerusalem.htm">Jerusalem</a></b><br>The central place in Zechariah's prophecies, often symbolizing God's presence and the focal point of eschatological events.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_day_of_the_lord.htm">The Day of the LORD</a></b><br>A significant event in biblical prophecy, often associated with God's judgment and the establishment of His kingdom.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/u/understanding_prophetic_imagery.htm">Understanding Prophetic Imagery</a></b><br><a href="/zechariah/14-6.htm">Zechariah 14:6</a> uses vivid imagery to convey a message about the Day of the LORD.

With the absence of light and sun shall come bitter frost, which impedes all activity, and kills life: or, taking the Septuagint rendering, there shall no longer be the interchange of seasons, but one lasting sunshine. It is plain that a time of distress and calamity is intended, and that the passage is threatening and not consolatory, at any rate, at first. There is solid ground for the rendering of the Revised Version margin, adopted by Cheyne and others, which is according to the Khetib, "There shall not be light, the bright ones shall contract themselves;" <span class="accented">i.e.</span> the heavenly bodies shall contract their light, or be heaped confusedly together, and cease to shine. The prediction in this case may be compared with that in <a href="/joel/3-15.htm">Joel 3:15</a>; <a href="/isaiah/13-10.htm">Isaiah 13:10</a>; and in <a href="/matthew/24-29.htm">Matthew 24:29</a>; <a href="/revelation/6-12.htm">Revelation 6:12, 13</a>.
