ZECHARIAH 14:
Unfortunately, we have not yet seen the fulfillment of this
prophecy from the end of Zechariah 12:
Zec. 12:10 NLT “Then I will pour out a spirit of grace and prayer on the family of David and on the people of Jerusalem. They will look on me whom they have pierced and mourn for him as for an only son. They will grieve bitterly for him as for a firstborn son who has died.
(The podcast notes for the previous episode contain a translation note on this verse.)
However, this part has been fulfilled from the beginning of chapter 13:
Zec. 13:1 “On that day a fountain will be opened for the dynasty of David and for the people of Jerusalem, a fountain to cleanse them from all their sins and impurity.
This from Zechariah 13 was referred to by the Lord Jesus in Mark 14:27 in— or on the way to, the garden of Gethsemane:
Zec. 13:7 NLT “Awake, O sword,
against my shepherd,|
the man who is my partner,”
says the LORD of Heaven’s Armies.
“Strike down the shepherd,
and the sheep will be scattered,
and I will turn against the lambs.
ISAIAH 65:
In chapter 64, there is a mixture of hope, regretful repentance,
and supplication— including these verses:
Is. 64:4 NLT For since the world
began,
no ear has heard
and no eye has seen a God like you,
who works for those who wait for him!
5 You welcome those who gladly do good,
who follow godly ways.
But you have been very angry with us,
for we are not godly.
We are constant sinners;
how can people like us be saved?
6 We are all infected and impure with sin.
When we display our righteous deeds,
they are nothing but filthy rags.
REVELATION 19:
In Revelation 18 we heard the chapter of doom against the city of
Babylon (or Rome, or the united evil world system based on immoral
commerce). If chapter 18 sounded familiar, it is because you were
remembering Ezek 27.
