Zechariah - Chapter 3
8: Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit
before thee: for they are men wondered at: for, behold, I will bring
forth my servant the BRANCH.
9: For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone
shall be seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith
the LORD of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one
day.
* "Stone" with "seven eyes" = "lamb" with "seven eyes and horns"
* "remove the iniquity of that land in one day"
10: In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall ye call every man his
neighbour under the vine and under the fig tree.
Zechariah - Chapter 6
12: And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts,
saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up
out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD:
13: Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the
glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest
upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.
* Build Temple (God's people with Holy Ghost)
Zechariah - Chapter 8
1: Again the word of the LORD of hosts came to me, saying,
2: Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I was jealous for Zion with great
jealousy, and I was jealous for her with great fury.
3: Thus saith the LORD; I am returned unto Zion, and will dwell in the
midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth; and
the mountain of the LORD of hosts the holy mountain.
Zechariah - Chapter 9
9: Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem:
behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation;
lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.
Zechariah - Chapter 11
15: And the LORD said unto me, Take unto thee yet the instruments of a
foolish shepherd.
16: For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, which shall not
visit those that be cut off, neither shall seek the young one, nor heal
that that is broken, nor feed that that standeth still: but he shall
eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces.
17: Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the flock! the sword shall be
upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be clean dried up,
and his right eye shall be utterly darkened.
Zechariah - Chapter 12
1: The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which
stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth,
and formeth the spirit of man within him.
2: Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people
round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and
against Jerusalem.
3: And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all
people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces,
though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
4: In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with
astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes
upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with
blindness.
5: And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants
of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the LORD of hosts their God.
6: In that day will I make the governors of Judah like an hearth of
fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they
shall devour all the people round about, on the right hand and on the
left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, even in
Jerusalem.
7: The LORD also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of
the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not
magnify themselves against Judah.
8: In that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and
he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the
house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the LORD before them.
9: And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will *seek to destroy
all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
10: And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants
of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall
look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as
one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as
one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
11: In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the
mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.
12: And the land shall mourn, every family apart; the family of the
house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of
Nathan apart, and their wives apart;
* The time when Christ was come as King to Jerusalem; LORD "seek to
destroy" enemies (strangers), but Jews themselves reject and cause
Christ to die.
Zechariah - Chapter 13
1: In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David
and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness.
2: And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that
I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall
no more be remembered: and also I will cause the prophets and the
unclean spirit to pass out of the land.
4: And it shall come to pass in that day, that the prophets shall be
ashamed every one of his vision, when he hath prophesied; neither shall
they wear a rough garment to deceive:
=== Destruction of Jerusalem 70AD
Zechariah - Chapter 14
1: Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided
in the midst of thee.
2: For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the
city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and
half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the
people shall not be cut off from the city.
======= "Last Day" (second coming) ==========
Zechariah - Chapter 14
3: Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as
when he fought in the day of battle.
5: ... and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.
*****
"To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before
God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all
his saints." (1 Thessalonians 3:13)
*****
6: And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be
clear, nor dark:
7: But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day,
nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be
light.
========== New Jerusalem ======
Zechariah - Chapter 14
8: And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from
Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward
the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
9: And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall
there be one LORD, and his name one.
10: All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to Rimmon south
of Jerusalem: and it shall be lifted up, and inhabited in her place,
from Benjamin's gate unto the place of the first gate, unto the corner
gate, and from the tower of Hananeel unto the king's winepresses.
11: And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter
destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.
========= Second Ressurection; End of 1000 years =========
* Revelation - Chapter 20:7-15
* Ezekiel - Chapter 38-39
Zechariah - Chapter 14
12: And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the
people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume
away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume
away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their
mouth.
13: And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the
LORD shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand
of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his
neighbour.
14: And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the
heathen round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and
apparel, in great abundance.
15: And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel,
and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in these tents, as
this plague.
