Zechariah 12-13Embedded within this prophecy of restoration is a prophecy of spiritual revival – a cleansing of idolatry and sin from Judah and Jerusalem. It starts on the day the whole people are scattered when their shepherd is struck and killed. The people of all Judah will be in Jerusalem when they look on the LORD himself, whom they have pierced. Their resulting grief will bring a spirit of repentance and humility, wiping centuries of pride from their hearts. Idols and false prophets disappear from many. Yet, there will still be enough rejection to warrant a further cleansing. The LORD will again turn his hand against the whole land, and two-thirds will perish. The remnant will be tested, refined in the fire. They will call upon his name, identifying themselves as the LORD’s people.
LORD, give us a vision of remembrance of Christ crucified, so that we turn from our idolatry and dishonesty and cling to you alone.
