(Zechariah 13
&14)
Awake,
O sword, against My shepherd,
Against
the man who is close to Me!'
Declares
the Lord Almighty.
Strike
the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered,
And
I will turn my hand against the little ones.
In
the whole land,' declares the Lord,
'Two-thirds
will be struck down and perish;
Yet
one-third will be left in it.
This
third I will bring into the fire;
I
will refine them like silver and test them like gold.
They
will call on my name and I will answer them;
I
will say, 'They are my people,'
And
they will say, 'The Lord is our God.' (Zechariah 13:7-9)
A DAY OF THE LORD is
coming
When your plunder
will be divided among you.
I
will gather ALL the Nations to Jerusalem to fight against it;
The city will be
captured, the houses ransacked, and the women raped.
Half of the city
will go into exile,
But the rest of the
people will not be taken from the city.
Then
the Lord will go out and fight against those Nations,
As he fights in the
day of battle.
On THAT DAY his
feet will stand on the Mount of Olives,
East of Jerusalem,
And the Mount of
Olives will be split in two from east to west,
Forming a great
valley,
With half of the
mountain moving north and half moving south.
You will flee by my
mountain valley, for it will extend to Azel.
You will flee as you
fled from the earthquake
In the days of
Uzziah king of Judah.
Then
the Lord my God will come and all the holy ones with him.
On
THAT DAY there will be no light, no cold or frost.
It will be a unique
day, without daytime or nighttime--
A day known to the
Lord.
When evening comes,
there will be light.
On THAT DAY
Living Water will flow out from Jerusalem,
Half to the eastern
sea and half to the western sea, in summer and in winter.
The
Lord will be King over the Whole Earth.
On
THAT DAY there will be One Lord and His Name the only name.
The whole land, from
Geba to Rimmon, south of Jerusalem,
Will become like the
Arabah.
But Jerusalem will
be raised up and remain in its place,
From the Benjamin
Gate to the site of the First Gate, to the Corner Gate,
And from the Tower
of Hananel to the royal winepresses.
It will be
inhabited;
Never again will it
be destroyed .
Jerusalem will be
secure.
This
is the plague with which the Lord will strike
All
the Nations that fought against Jerusalem:
Their
flesh will rot while they are still standing on their feet,
Their
eyes will rot in their sockets,
And
their tongues will rot in their mouths.
On
THAT DAY men will be stricken by the Lord with great panic.
Each man will seize
the hand of another, and they will attach each other.
Judah too will fight
at Jerusalem.
The wealth of all
the surrounding nations will be collected--
Great quantities of
gold and silver and clothing.
A similar plague
will strike the horses and mules, the camels and donkeys,
And all the animals
in those camps.
Then
the survivors from ALL the Nations
That
have attacked Jerusalem
Will go up year
after year to worship the King, the Lord Almighty,
And to celebrate the
Feast of Tabernacles.
If any of the
peoples of the earth do not go up to Jerusalem
To worship the King,
the Lord Almighty, they will have no rain.
If the Egyptian
people do not go up and take part,
They will have no
rain.
The Lord will bring
on them the plague he inflicts on the nations
That do not go up to
celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles.
This will be the
punishment of Egypt and the punishment of all the nations
That do not go up to
celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles.
On THAT DAY HOLY
TO THE LORD
Will be inscribed on
the bells of the horses,
And the cooking pots
in the Lord's house
Will be like the
sacred bowls in front of the altar.
Every pot in
Jerusalem and Judah will be holy to the Lord Almighty,
And all who come to
sacrifice will take some of the pots and cook in them.
And
on THAT DAY there will no longer be a Canaanite
In
the House of the Lord Almighty. (Zechariah
4:1-21)
Today,
the World is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)
This
World in its present form is passing away. (1 Corinthians 7:31)
America
is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.
Save
yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)
As
God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
Father,
Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
