Zechariah 12
New Living Translation
Future Deliverance for Jerusalem
12 This[a] message concerning the fate of Israel came from the Lord: “This message is from the Lord, who stretched out the heavens, laid the foundations of the earth, and formed the human spirit.
[YES THERE IS A SPIRIT IN MAN THAT GOES BACK TO GOD ON DEATH- ECC. 12:7. BUT THAT SPIRIT IS NOT A PERSON THAT LIVES. IF YOU LOOSE AN ARM THE SPIRIT DOES NOT GIVE YOU AN INVISIBLE ARM. IF YOU LOOSE AN EYE, THE SPIRIT DOES NOT GIVE YOU AN INVISIBLE EYE. THE SPIRIT IS GIVEN AT CONCEPTION OR AT BIRTH. IT IS LIKE A BLANK CD; IT RECORDS YOUR CHARACTER; OF A CHRISTIAN AT DEATH, THERE IS NO SIN ON YOUR CHARACTER. THE SPIRIT OF YOUR LIFE IS SINLESS UNDER CHRIST. YOUR RECORDED CHARACTER IS PURE AND SINLESS. IT GOES BACK TO GOD UNTIL THE RESURRECTION. IN THE RESURRECTION YOUR BODY AND SPIRIT ARE HOLY RIGHTEOUSNESS—Keith Hunt]
2 I will make Jerusalem like an intoxicating drink that makes the nearby nations stagger when they send their armies to besiege Jerusalem and Judah. 3 On that day I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock. All the nations will gather against it to try to move it, but they will only hurt themselves.
[THIS IS AT THE TIME OF THE 7TH TRUMPET, JESUS IS RETURNING, TO SAVE JERUSALEM, JUDAH, ISRAEL. THE SAINTS WILL BE RESURRECTED. JESUS WILL COME TO DESTROY THE NATIONS AT JERUSALEM. IN REVELATION IT IS THE BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON- REV. 16. THE NATIONS COMING TO FIGHT AT JERUSALEM WILL BE DESTROYED BY THE LORD GOD— Keith Hunt]
4 “On that day,” says the Lord, “I will cause every horse to panic and every rider to lose his nerve. I will watch over the people of Judah, but I will blind all the horses of their enemies. 5 And the clans of Judah will say to themselves, ‘The people of Jerusalem have found strength in the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, their God.’
6 “On that day I will make the clans of Judah like a flame that sets a woodpile ablaze or like a burning torch among sheaves of grain. They will burn up all the neighboring nations right and left, while the people living in Jerusalem remain secure.
7 “The Lord will give victory to the rest of Judah first, before Jerusalem, so that the people of Jerusalem and the royal line of David will not have greater honor than the rest of Judah.
8 On that day the Lord will defend the people of Jerusalem; the weakest among them will be as mighty as King David! And the royal descendants will be like God, like the angel of the Lord who goes before them!
9 For on that day I will begin to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
10 “Then I will pour out a spirit[b] of grace and prayer on the family of David and on the people of Jerusalem. They will look on me…. whom…. they have pierced and mourn for him as for an only son. They will grieve bitterly for him as for a firstborn son who has died. 11 The sorrow and mourning in Jerusalem on that day will be like the great mourning for Hadad-rimmon in the valley of Megiddo.
[AFTER THE WORD "ME" IS THE FIRST LETTER OF HEBREW ALPHABET—ALEPH. AFTER THE WORD "WHOM" IS THE LAST LETTER OF HEBREW ALPHABET— TAU. THE FIRST AND THE LAST—JUST AS IN REVELATION JESUS IS THE FIRST AND THE LAST!— Keith Hunt]
12 “All Israel will mourn, each clan by itself, and with the husbands separate from their wives. The clan of David will mourn alone, as will the clan of Nathan, 13 the clan of Levi, and the clan of Shimei.14 Each of the surviving clans from Judah will mourn separately, and with the husbands separate from their wives.
……………………………
WHAT A GREAT MOURNING THAT WILL BE!!!
ALL ISRAEL WILL KNOW WHO THE MESSIAH WAS AND STILL IS.
THERE WILL INDEED BE THE SHEDDING OF TEARS. ALL WILL KNOW THAT JESUS THE CHRIST WHO CAME TO HIS OWN DURING THE FIRST CENTURY A. D. WAS GOD IN THE FLESH, WAS THE MESSIAH. JUDAH ESPECIALLY, TO WHOM JESUS CAME TWO THOUSAND YEARS EARLIER, WILL CRY WITH STRONG EMOTIONS.
IT WILL BE A BITTER GLORIOUS DAY FOR THEM.
BUT WE LONG FOR IT; WE DESIRE THAT DAY; WHEN GOD SHALL RETURN TO DELIVER JERUSALEM, THE JEWS, THE NATIONS OF ISRAEL, AND TO ESTABLISH THE KINGDOM OF GOD ON THE EARTH.
THY KINGDOM COME O GOD, THY WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS DONE IN HEAVEN!!!
