#zechariah12
1 The burden of the word of the LORD against Israel. Thus says the LORD, who stretches out the heavens, lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the spirit of man within him:
2 “Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of drunkenness to all the surrounding peoples, when they lay siege against Judah and Jerusalem.
3 And it shall happen in that day that I will make Jerusalem a very heavy stone for all peoples; all who would heave it away will surely be cut in pieces, though all nations of the earth are gathered against it.
Zechariah 12:1-3 NKJV
Zechariah 12 in its entirety
12:1 The burden of the Word of the "I AM" for Israel, saith the "I AM", which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and reformeth the spirit inside of man.
12:2 Behold I will make Jerusalem a cup of poison unto all the people round about; I shall also be against Judah in the siege against Jerusalem.
12:3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a stumbling-block for all people:
ALL that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, even though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
12:4 In that Day, saith the "I AM", 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.
12:5 And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, There is strength to me
AND to the inhabitants of Jerusalem in the "I AM" Lord of hosts their God.
12:6 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 the City of Peace shall be inhabited again in her own place, in Jerusalem.
12:7 The "I AM" 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 exalt themselves AGAINST Judah.
12:8 In that Day shall the "I AM" defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them on that Day shall be like David; and the House of David shall be like God, with the angel of the "I AM" in front of them.
12:9 And it shall come to pass in that Day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
12:10 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 (in a new body from Joseph/Ephraim) whom they pierced (whilst in the body called Jesus), and they shall mourn for
HIM (Jesus), as one mourneth for his only son, and shall weep bitterly for
HIM (Jesus), like one that weeps bitterly for his firstborn.
12:11
In that Day there shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the Valley of [Ar] Megiddon.
12:12 And the land shall mourn, every family separately; the family of the House of David
SEPARATELY, and their wives separately; the family of Nathan separately, and their wives separately;
12:13 The family of the House of Levi
SEPARATELY, and their wives separately; the family of Simeon
SEPARATELY, and their wives separately;
12:14 All the families that survive, every family separately, and their wives separately.
Jerusalem, a city whose name means the "City of Peace", is the
ONLY city God ever put His Name on (
1 kings 8:29), because it is the Holiest Place on Earth. It is the place where Abraham offered up his miracle son Isaac -- whom Abraham loved more than anything in the world -- as a sacrifice to God, thereby becoming a friend to God and foreshadowing God offering the miracle son of the virgin Mary (Jesus), as the Lamb of God.
Of course these facts have never been accepted by the overwhelming majority of the inhabitants of Jerusalem throughout its bloody history, and that certainly includes its current inhabitants, most of which are
counterfeit-Jews with their satanic aspirations of global dominance as well as their "Islamic" counterparts. Nor will they ever be accepted by those who believe in lies and do evil, exactly as
the counterfeit-Jews have done for the past 2600 years.
Isaiah 3:8-11
3:8
For Jerusalem is ruined, AND Judah is fallen: because their tongue and their doings [are] against the "I AM", to provoke the eyes of His glory.
3:9
The look on their face doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide [it] not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves.
3:10 Say ye to the righteous, that [it shall be] well [with him]: for they
shall eat the fruit of their doings.
3:11
Woe unto the wicked! [it shall be] ill [with him]: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.
