Zechariah 12-14 What An Ending!

With His great power, God will confuse the attackers coming against Jerusalem in the future and give its inhabitants great power to fight.  Seeing God fighting for them will open up their hearts to Him.  He’ll pour out a spirit of kindness and mercy on them and they will finally realize that Jesus is Messiah and that he is absolutely worthy of their respect.  In 12:11-14, we see that such true confession requires us to be alone with God.

Once the believing remnant understands their sin of rejecting Messiah, the fountain of His blood will purify them of that sin.  Even unclean spirits in the land will be removed.  There are remarkable Messianic verses to discover in these pages!

The Lord Himself will go to war with any nation that fights Israel, which will serve as proof that God is all-powerful and on His throne.  He will afflict the attackers with terrible diseases and Israel will easily collect the wealth left there by those armies.

When God establishes His kingdom and His throne in Jerusalem, all nations will come to worship Him during the Feast of Tabernacles.  Any nation not participating will receive no rainfall and a terrible disease will afflict those who don’t worship.  Everything will be set aside as holy in Jerusalem, and the priesthood of the believer will be the norm.  That will be the day!

Father, please show us Your power and might.  Remove uncleanness from us.  Cleanse us of desires that aren’t of You.  Help us to worship You completely and with a contrite heart.  Remove everything that hinders our worship of You!

Your Brother In Christ,

Gary Ford
