Azal standard

Where is Azal in the Bible?

Azal was a place near Jerusalem mentioned in the prophet Zechariah's eschatological vision, specifically in Zechariah 14:5, where it appears in a prophecy about the end times. The exact location of Azal remains unidentified by modern scholars, though it was evidently close enough to Jerusalem to be referenced alongside the city in Zechariah's description of future events. In this prophecy, Zechariah describes God's people fleeing to Azal as part of a larger vision of divine judgment and restoration. While little is known about Azal's specific geographical position or significance in biblical history, its mention in Zechariah connects it to the theological themes of Israel's redemption and God's ultimate plan for Jerusalem.
