The Prophecy
of Zacharias 12
The burden of the word of the Lord upon Israel. Thus
saith the Lord, who stretcheth forth the heavens, and
layeth the foundations of the earth, and formeth the
spirit of man in him :
Behold I will make Jerusalem a lintel of surfeiting
to all the people round about: and Juda also shall be
in the siege against Jerusalem.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will make
Jerusalem a burdensome stone to all people: all that
shall lift it up shall be rent and torn, and all the
kingdoms of the earth shall be gathered together against
her.
In that day, saith the Lord, I will strike every horse
with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I
will open my eyes upon the house of Juda, and will strike
every horse of the nations with blindness.
And the governors of Juda shall say in their heart:
Let the inhabitants of Jerusalem be strengthened for
me in the Lord of hosts, their God.
In that day I will make the governors of Juda like a
furnace of fire amongst wood, and as a firebrand amongst
hay: and they shall devour all the people round about,
to the right hand, and to the left: and Jerusalem shall
be inhabited again in her own place in Jerusalem.
And the Lord shall save the tabernacles of Juda, as
in the beginning: that the house of David, and the glory
of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, may not boast and magnify
themselves against Juda.
In that day shall the Lord protect the inhabitants of
Jerusalem, and he that hath offended among them in that
day shall be as David: and the house of David, as that
of God, as an angel of the Lord in their sight.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek
to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
And I will pour out upon the house of David, and upon
the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace, and
of prayers: and they shall look upon me, whom they have
pierced: and they shall mourn for him as one mourneth
for an only son, and they shall grieve over him, as
the manner is to grieve for the death of the firstborn.
In that day there shall be a great lamentation in Jerusalem
like the lamentation of Adadremmon in the plain of Mageddon.
And the land shall mourn: families and families apart:
the families of the house of David apart, and their
women apart:
The families of the house of Nathan apart, and their
women apart: the families of the house of Levi apart,
and their women apart: the families of Semei apart,
and their women apart.
All the rest of the families, families and families
apart, and their women apart. |
