Zechariah 14:11

And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.

And there shall be no more utter destruction - (Jeremiah 31:40). literally, no more curse [ cheerem (H2764)] (Revelation 22:3: cf. Malachi 4:6), for there will be no more sin. Temporal. blessings and spiritual prosperity shall go together in the millennium: long life (Isaiah 65:20), peace (Isaiah 2:4), honour (Isaiah 60:14), righteous government (Isaiah 54:14; Isaiah 60:18). Judgment, as usual, begins at the house of God, but then falls fatally on Antichrist, whereon the Church obtains perfect liberty. The last day will end everything evil (Romans 8:21). (Auberlen.)
