Zechariah
12 – The Coming Deliverance of Judah
In the days of tribulation Jerusalem will become the
center of attack and judgment. When the enemy comes against Jerusalem, then God
will smite the enemy with confusion. God says He will protect the House of
David first. You might ask why David when we know of his affair with Bathsheba.
But we must remember that David repented of that sin and God still held him
close to His heart.
When we get to heaven I am sure we will be shocked to
see some people there that we would have never believed to be worthy of heaven
and we will wonder where others are that we thought should have been there.
That’s why we should never judge another person because only God knows their
heart.
Now, David was a great soldier and God says that even
the weakest man will be like David and David will be like God. In fact, it was
through the lineage of David, through Mary that our Lord and Savior was born.
Later in the chapter God says He will destroy all the nations that come against
Jerusalem and then He will pour out a spirit of grace on all His people, the
Israelites and they will mourn for Jesus’ crucifixion and for all their sin.
This will be the day of Atonement when God will forgive them for all their
sins.
We as believers should mourn over all our sins and be
truly repentant and receive Christ into our heart as the one who died for us.
Please read the chapter listed so that you can
understand God’s Word better.
