(Zechariah 10)
'Ask the Lord for
rain in the springtime;
It is the Lord who
makes the storm clouds.
He gives showers of
rain to men,
And plants of the
field to everyone.
2 THE IDOLS SPEAK
DECEIT,
DIVINERS SEE VISIONS
THAT LIE;
THEY
TELL DREAMS THAT ARE FALSE,
THEY
GIVE COMFORT IN VAIN.
THEREFORE
THE PEOPLE WANDER
LIKE
SHEEP OPPRESSED FOR LACK OF A SHEPHERD.
3 MY ANGER BURNS
AGAINST THE SHEPHERDS,
AND I WILL PUNISH
THE LEADERS;
For the Lord
Almighty will care for His Flock,
The house of Judah,
And make them like a
Proud Horse in Battle.
4 FROM JUDAH WILL
COME THE CORNERSTONE (CHRIST),
From him the tent
peg,
From Him the Battle
Bow,
From Him every
Ruler.
5 Together they will
be like Mighty Men
Trampling the muddy
streets in battle.
Because the Lord is
with them,
They will fight and
Overthrow the Horsemen.
6 I WILL STRENGTHEN
THE HOUSE OF JUDAH
And save the house
of Joseph.
I will restore them
because I have compassion on them.
THEY
WILL BE AS THOUGH I HAD NOT REJECTED THEM,
For I am the Lord
their God and I will answer them.
7 The Ephraimites
will become like Might Men,
And their hearts
will be glad as with wine.
Their children will
see it and be joyful;
TEIR HEARTS WILL
REJOICE IN THE LORD.
8 I will signal for
them and gather them in.
Surely I will redeem
them;
They will be as
numerous as before.
9 Though I scatter
them among the peoples,
Yet in distant lands
they will remember me.
They and their
children will survive,
And they will
return.
10 I will bring them
back form Egypt
And gather them from
Assyria.
I will bring them to
Gilead and Lebanon,
AND THERE WILL NOT
BE ROOMJ ENOUGH FOR THEM.
11
THEY WILL PASS THORUGH THE SEA OF TROUBLE;
THE
SURGING SEA WILL BE SUBDUED
And all the depths
of the Nile will dry up.
Assyria's pride will
be brought down
And Egypt's Scepter
will Pass Away.
I WILL STRENGTHEN
THEM IN THE LORD
AND IN HIS NAME THEY
WILL WALK,'
Declares the Lord.
(Zechariah 10)
In this, the Last
Day of Time,
The Lord will care for
Judah,
THE HOUSE OF PRAISE.
He has already returned
them
From the Lands they
were dispersed to.
It will be as though
they were never rejected.
With Christ Jesus at
their Head,
They will Overthrow the
Nations of the World
That come against them.
And Christ Jesus will
Establish
His Kingdom on Earth as
in Heaven,
In Jerusalem, on Mount
Zion,
For a Thousand Years;
God's Day of Rest.
