Zechariah
13 – Idolatry Cut Off
God’s
grace will be poured out on his people, and they will mourn for the death of
Jesus and for their sins. In this time near the end of the tribulation period.
All the demons and idols will be cast out. The Anti-Christ will end up in the
Lake of Fire and Satan will be sent to the bottomless pit. Then when the Lord
comes, the prophets will be ashamed of their prophecies because when the Lord
comes it will be that His coming made liars out of them. The prophets will go
back to being farmers. When the Lord appears, they will ask Him about the
wounds on his hands. These wounds represent the wounds that were inflicted upon
Him on the cross. He received these
wounds from the people He considered friends even though they acted like
enemies and crucified Him. (Matt.26:31). 1/3 of the nation will survive and 2/3
will be cut off.
Zechariah
14 – The Day of the Lord
An
army that has a representative of every nation will come against Jerusalem and
overtake them. Many horrible things will happen that day, but some will escape.
Then the Lord will come and fight against all the nations for Israel. He will
stand upon the Mount of Olives and there will be a great earthquake that will
split the mountain in two. Many people will run from it. This day will begin in
darkness but by evening there will be light. At this time Jesus will establish
His kingdom and there will only be one language. All of Jerusalem will be safe
and there will be no more destruction. Peace will finally come to Jerusalem.
For all those nations that fight against Jerusalem there will come a plague and
the people will die a living death. It will fall upon all the people and the
animals. A remnant of the Gentiles from all the nations shall be preserved and
brought from the ends of the earth. There they will celebrate the Feast of the
Tabernacles. Those who don’t come will suffer from the plague and will receive
no rain. Zechariah ended this book with a vision on the “day of the Lord”. On
that day, the phrase “Holiness to the Lord” shall be engraved on the bells of
the horses, every pot in Jerusalem and Judah shall be holiness to the Lord of
Hosts. To be holy means to be set apart for sacred use. In this New Jerusalem,
even mundane utensils will be considered holy intended for God’s work. Our lives
should be dedicated to God that even the mundane task that we undertake are
sacred, holy, and done for the Glory of God.
