The Coming Deliverance of Jerusalem

This is the burden of the word of the LORD concerning Israel. Isa 42:5Jer 51:15Isa 57:16Heb 1:10-12Heb 12:9Isa 44:24Isa 48:13Psa 102:25-26

Thus declares the LORD, who stretches out the heavens and lays the foundation of the earth, who forms the spirit of man within him:

“Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of drunkenness to all the surrounding peoples. Judah will be besieged, as well as Jerusalem. Psa 75:8Zec 14:14Isa 51:22-23Isa 51:17Hab 2:16Jer 25:15Jer 25:17Jer 49:12

On that day, when all the nations of the earth gather against her, I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples; all who would heave it away will be severely injured. Mat 21:44Zec 14:2-4Dan 2:34-35Luk 20:18Ezk 38:1-23Isa 66:14-16Zec 13:1Zec 14:6

On that day, declares the LORD, I will strike every horse with panic, and every rider with madness. I will keep a watchful eye on the house of Judah, but I will strike with blindness all the horses of the nations. Deu 28:28Zec 12:3Act 17:30Zec 12:61Ki 8:292Ch 6:202Ch 6:402Ch 7:15

Then the leaders of Judah will say in their hearts: ‘The people of Jerusalem are my strength, for the LORD of Hosts is their God.’ Jol 3:16Psa 18:32Zec 10:12Psa 144:1Psa 18:392Co 12:9-10Isa 28:6Isa 41:10-16

On that day I will make the clans of Judah like a firepot in a woodpile, like a flaming torch among the sheaves; they will consume all the peoples around them on the right and on the left, while the people of Jerusalem remain secure there. Oba 1:18Dan 2:44-45Mic 5:5-8Psa 149:6-9Zec 2:4Dan 2:34-35Ezk 48:30-35Isa 10:16-18

The LORD will save the tents of Judah first, so that the glory of the house of David and of the people of Jerusalem may not be greater than that of Judah. Jer 30:18Amo 9:11Psa 35:26Psa 55:12Rom 3:27Isa 2:11-17Isa 23:9Jas 2:5 On that day the LORD will defend the people of Jerusalem, so that the weakest among them will be like David, and the house of David will be like God, like the angel 1of the LORD going before them. Mic 5:2-4Jol 3:10Jol 3:16-17Mic 7:16Mic 7:8Zec 2:5Zec 9:8Exo 23:20-21

So on that day I will set out to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. Isa 54:17Zec 14:2-3Hag 2:22Zec 12:2

Mourning the One They Pierced

(John 19:31–37)

Then I will pour out on the house of David and on the people of Jerusalem a spirit 2of grace and prayer, and they will look on Me, 3 the One they have pierced. 4 They will mourn for Him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for Him as one grieves for a firstborn son. Rev 1:7Ezk 39:29Jhn 19:34-37Jol 2:28-29Jer 6:26Act 2:33Rom 8:26Amo 8:10

On that day the wailing in Jerusalem will be as great as the wailing of Hadad-rimmon in the plain of Megiddo. 2Ch 35:242Ki 23:29 The land will mourn, each clan on its own: the clan of the house of David and their wives, the clan of the house of Nathan and their wives, Rev 1:71Co 7:52Sa 5:14Exo 12:30Jer 31:18Luk 3:31Mat 24:30Zec 7:3 the clan of the house of Levi and their wives, the clan of Shimei and their wives, 1Ch 23:101Ch 23:71Ch 3:191Ch 4:271Ki 1:82Ch 29:142Sa 16:5Exo 6:16-26 and all the remaining clans and their wives.
