Zechariah Part 13 The Salvation Of Israel Continues
Here’s the first verse of Zechariah 13 that verifies that this is a continuation of chapter 12:
1 “In that day a fountain shall be opened for the house of David and for the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for uncleanness.
– Zechariah 13:1 (NKJV)
When you see words like ‘in that day’ in the first verse of a chapter, it’s clear that this chapter is directly connected to the previous chapter. It means that we are still speaking of the same prophecy that began in chapter 12.
But, how long is the ‘day’ in the phrase ‘in that day’?
Those of you who have been reading your Bible for long enough know the answer to that.
…'that day' could last for years, decades and even centuries.
THAT DAY will only end, when the events described are complete. Days, weeks, months, years and even decades could go by, and THAT DAY will not be complete until all has been accomplished. Verse two continues with what will be accomplished:
2 “It shall be in that day,” says the Lord of hosts, “that I will cut off the names of the idols from the land, and they shall no longer be remembered. I will also cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to depart from the land.
– Zechariah 13:2 (NKJV)
Wait. God is speaking of idols. We understand about false prophets and unclean spirits…
…but what are these idols?
