You will flee by the valley of my mountains, for the valley of the mountains shall reach to Azal; yes, you will flee just as you fled before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the LORD my God will come, and all the holy ones with him. The people will use the valley created by the mountain's splitting to escape the city's destruction, fleeing as they did during the earthquake of King Uzziah's time. The appearance of "all the holy ones" alongside God suggests the presence of angelic or saintly beings participating in the eschatological vindication. The appeal to Uzziah's earthquake as a historical precedent grounds eschatological prophecy in remembered divine intervention, establishing that the final day will exceed these historical interventions. This verse emphasizes both the people's necessity for supernatural escape and God's faithful provision through miraculous means.
