Zechariah 12:6-9 – 6 “On that day I will make the leaders of Judah like a firepot in a woodpile, like a flaming torch among sheaves. They will consume right and left all the surrounding peoples, but Jerusalem will remain intact in her place. 7 “The LORD will save the dwellings of Judah first, so that the honor of the house of David and of Jerusalem’s inhabitants may not be greater than that of Judah. 8 On that day the LORD will shield those who live in Jerusalem, so that the feeblest among them will be like David, and the house of David will be like God, like the Angel of the LORD going before them. 9 On that day I will set out to destroy all the nations that attack Jerusalem.
More versus on the Lord saving Israel in this battle. These are incrdible prophetic versus but I will hit more on the battle in other posts. This post is to help us to understand who Jesus is.
Zechariah 12:10 – 10 “And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son.
So we know from above that we are talking about the Lord God. We’re still in the Old Testament. We’re not switching gears here. We’re still talking about the Lord God. What does he say? “They will look upon Me, the One they have pierced….” The one they have pierced.
God was pierced? By the house of Judah?
Yes. The Romans carried out the crucifixion, but it was Israel that rejected Him and had Him sentenced to death.
Jesus is God. God is Jesus. We have the Holy Spirit in there too. That’s why the Trinity is important. There isn’t three Gods. They are three persons, which act as one. The best study for the Trinity is to know as much of the Bible as possible. That’s what pulls it together and gives one more understanding.
Zechariah 12:11-14 – 11 On that day the weeping in Jerusalem will be great, like the weeping of Hadad Rimmon in the plain of Megiddo. 12 The land will mourn, each clan by itself, with their wives by themselves: the clan of the house of David and their wives, the clan of the house of Nathan and their wives, 13 the clan of the house of Levi and their wives, the clan of Shimei and their wives, 14 and all the rest of the clans and their wives.
We finish Zechariah 12 with more mourning from the Jews. You have to understand the Jews are not only mourning because of his crucifixion 2000 years earlier, but because I believe this battle is in the end times and they just got done making a deal with the antichrist also.
In the end, the real Christ comes back and saves Israel, the house of David, the house of Judah. They will then have their true Messiah and they will know Our God.
Jesus love you. Please get to know Him as your Savior. If you don’t, you will eventually know Him as your Judge whom you have rejected. He is ready for you. If you don’t know Jesus, please go over to the right upper column and click on “How To Accept Jesus As Savior.” The sooner you accept Him as Lord the sooner you can start your life the way it was suppose to be from the beginning.
