Zechariah 13:1 “On that day a fountain will be opened to the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to cleanse them from sin and impurity.
In the end, My People will be vindicated by God Himself. This scene, our final installment in My People/Not My People, is fitting as it remains prophecy until the End times. God has not forsaken the Jewish people. He’s continually working to purify them prior to the Last Day when the last believing Remnant will have their eyes opened, repent, and be saved.
Zechariah 12:1 A prophecy: The word of the LORD concerning Israel. The LORD, who stretches out the heavens, who lays the foundation of the earth, and who forms the human spirit within a person, declares:
2 “I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that sends all the surrounding peoples reeling. Judah will be besieged as well as Jerusalem. 3 On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves.
4 On that day I will strike every horse with panic and its rider with madness,” declares the LORD. “I will keep a watchful eye over Judah, but I will blind all the horses of the nations. 5 Then the clans of Judah will say in their hearts, ‘The people of Jerusalem are strong, because the LORD Almighty is their God.’
6 “On that day I will make the clans of Judah like a firepot in a woodpile, like a flaming torch among sheaves. They will consume all the surrounding peoples right and left, but Jerusalem will remain intact in her place. 7 “The LORD will save the dwellings of Judah first, so that the honor of the house of David and of Jerusalem’s inhabitants may not be greater than that of Judah.
8 On that day the LORD will shield those who live in Jerusalem, so that the feeblest among them will be like David, and the house of David will be like God, like the angel of the LORD going before them.
9 On that day I will set out to destroy all the nations that attack Jerusalem.
10 “And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son.
To those who want to believe God has abandoned the Jews, you’re simply wrong. God opens to the “house of David” and to the “inhabitants of Jerusalem” a fountain of salvation in Christ. In the end, nations (and people) who take a stand against Jerusalem are the ones who will be destroyed. God said it: “On that day I will set out to destroy all the nations that attack Jerusalem.”
Do you believe Him?
God has My People (in every instance we’ve seen, they’re His children of FAITH in Christ). Yes, there are Gentile Christians who have NOT replaced the Jews. And among the Jewish people there are also those of faith (whether predating Christ, His disciples during His lifetime, and those who repented and believed the good news after His death like the men on the Road to Emmaus).
After the full number of Gentile Christians (the Church which is comprised of both Gentile and “Messianic Jewish” people who have repented and believed) has come in, there will be a different Jewish Remnant awakened from a period of hardening. They too repent and believe. Then the final joining of My People will be accomplished.
Do you want to know who My People are? They are from every nation, tribe and tongue with this one belief that ties them together eternally as My People: They are those who have believed in the promise of Messiah, the One who is identified in Scripture alone as the unique Son of God, Son of Man, the Crucified Redeemer, the Risen Savior, the Forgiver of sins, the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and by placing their trust in Him for forgiveness of their sins…they repent and will be saved.
