Jerusalem Shall Inhabit Her Own Land Again |
Zechariah 12:1-14 The Book of Zechariah [in Smaller Chunks] |
The burden, [a.k.a. vision, from] the Word of the Lord, [against] Israel, says The Lord, [Who] stretches [out] the heavens & [lays] the foundation of the earth, & forms the spirit of man within him. [Isaiah 43:7-11 For I have created him, & even everyone, [who] is called by My Name, for My glory. |
I have formed him, [yes,] I have made him. Bring [out] the blind people, [who] have eyes, & the deaf, [who] have ears. Let all the nations be gathered together, & let the people be assembled. Who among them can declare this, & [show] us [previous] things? |
Let them bring [out] their witnesses, [so] that they may be [verified:] or let them hear, & say, It is truth. The Lord says, You are My witnesses, & My [servants,] whom I have chosen, [so] that you may know & believe Me, & understand that I Am He. Before Me, there was no God formed, & neither shall there be after Me. I, even I, Am the Lord; & [besides] Me, there is no savior.] |
[Look,] I will make a cup of trembling [for] all the people [all around] Jerusalem. [Isaiah 51:17 Awake, awake, & stand up, O Jerusalem, [who] has drunk the cup of His fury, at the hand of the Lord. You have [drunk] the dregs [from] the cup of trembling, & wrung [the dregs] out.] |
When they shall be [surrounded] against: both Judah & Jerusalem. And [on] that day, I will make Jerusalem, a [heavy boulder] for all the people [to carry.] [Although,] all the people of the earth [are] gathered together against it, all [those] [who] burden themselves with it, shall be cut into pieces. |
[Matthew 21:42-46 *Jesus [said] to them, Didn't you [ever] read in the scriptures, The stone [that] the builders rejected, the same [has] become the head of the corner. This is the Lord's doing, & is it marvelous in our eyes? |
Therefore, I say to you, The Kingdom of God shall be taken from you, & given to a nation [producing] the fruits [of it.] *And [whoever] shall fall on this stone, shall be broken: but on [whomever] it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. |
And when the chief priests & Pharisees had heard His parables, they [knew] that He [spoke] of them. But when they sought to lay hands on Him, they feared the multitude, because they took Him for a prophet.] |
The Lord says, [On] that day, I will [strike] every horse with astonishment, & his rider with [insanity.] And I will open [My] eyes upon the house of Judah, & will [strike all] the [people's horses] with blindness. [Deuteronomy 28:28-29 The Lord shall [strike] you with [insanity] & blindness, & [astonished hearts.] |
And you shall [fumble] at [noon, like] the blind [fumbles] in darkness. And you shall not prosper in your ways. And you shall be only: oppressed & [plundered forever more.] And no man shall save you.] |
And [Judah's] governors, shall say [within] their [hearts,] The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength [through] the Lord of Hosts, their God. [Zechariah 2:12 And the Lord shall [take] Judah [as] His portion [of an] [inheritance] in the holy land, & shall choose Jerusalem again. O all flesh, be silent, [in front of] the Lord. For He is raised up out of His Holy habitation.] |
[On] that day, I will make [Judah's] governors like [a] fire among the wood on the [fireplace's] hearth, & like a torch of fire in a sheaf. [2 Samuel 14:30 Therefore, he said to his servants, See, Joab's field in near mine, & he has barley there. Go, & set it on fire. And Absalom's servants set the field on fire.] |
And they shall devour all the people [all around,] on the right hand [side,] & on the left. And Jersualm shall again be inhabited in her own place, even in Jerusalem. |
[Jeremiah 30:3 The Lord says, For, [look,] the days come that I will bring again [those] of My people, Israel, & Judah, [from] captivity, says the Lord. And I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their [forefathers,] & they shall possess it.] |
The Lord shall also save [Judah's] tents 1st, [so] that the glory of: the house of David & the inhabitants of Jerusalem don't magnify, [a.k.a. elevate,] themselves against Judah. [On] that day, the Lord shall defend [Jerusalem's] inhabitants. |
And [on] that day,& he, [who] is feeble among them, shall be [like] David. And the house of David shall be [for] God, [like] the Angel of the Lord, before them. [Exodus 13:21 And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them [on] the [road] & by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light, to go by day, & night.] |
And it shall [happen on] that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. *And I will pour [out] the Spirit of grace, & [petitions] upon the house of David, & the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And they shall look upon Me, Whom they have pierced. |
[John 19:33-37 *But when they came to Jesus, & saw that He was already dead, they [didn't] break his legs. But one of the soldiers with a spear, pierced His side, & [immediately] blood & water came out there. And he, [who] saw it bare record, & his [testimony] is true. |
And he knows [what] he says [is] true, [so] that you may believe. *For these things were done, [so] that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of Him shall not be broken. *And again, another scripture says, They shall look on Him, Whom they pierced.] |
And they shall mourn for Him, [like someone] mourns for His only Son, & shall be in bitterness for Him, [like someone] is in bitterness for His Firstborn. [Matthew 3:13-17 Then, Jesus [came] to John, from Galilee to Jordan, to be baptized [by] him. |
But John [forbid] Him, saying, I have need to be baptized [by] You, & You come to me? And Jesus answering said to him, Now, [allow] it to be so, for it [is] [becoming] [for] us to fulfill all righteousness. Then, [John allowed] Him. *And Jesus, when He was baptized, went up [immediately] out of the water. |
And [look,] the heavens were opened to Him, & [John] saw the Spirit of God, descending like a dove, & lighting upon Him. And lo, a voice from heaven, saying, This is My beloved Son, in Whom I Am well pleased.] |
[On] that day there shall be a [large] mourning in Jerusalem, [like] the mourning of Hadad Rimmon, in the Valley of Megiddon, [a.k.a. Megiddo.] And the land shall mourn, every family [separated.] [Revelation 1:7-8 [Look,] He comes with clouds; & every eye shall see Him, & also [those, who] pierced Him. |
And all the [families] of the earth shall wail, because of Him. Even so, Amen. I Am [the] Alpha & Omega, the Beginning, & the Ending, says the Lord, [Who] Is, [Who] Was, & [Who] Is to Come, the Almighty.] |
The family of the house of David, [separated,] & their wives [separated.] And the family of the house of Nathan [separated,] & their wives, [separated.] The family of the house of Levi [separated,] & their wives, [separated.] The family of Shimei, [separated,] & their wives; [separated.] |
All the families [who] remain, every family [shall mourn] [separated,] & their wives [separated.] |
[Revelation 21:3-7 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, [Look,] the tabernacle of God is with men. And He will dwell with them, & they shall be His people, & God, Himself, shall be with them, & be their God. |
*And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. And there shall be no more death, & neither sorrow, nor crying. Neither shall there be any more pain. For the [previous] things have passed away. And He, [Who] sat upon the throne said, [Look,] I make all things new. |
And He said to me, Write: for these Words are true & faithful. And He said to me, It is done. I Am [the] Alpha & Omega, the Beginning & the End. I will give to him, [who] is [thirsty, from] the Fountain of the Water of Life freely. |
And he, [who] overcomes shall inherit all all things. And I will be his God, & he shall be My son, [a.k.a. child.] |
