Zechariah 12:1-14

Having announced in Chapter 11 judgment upon Judah and Jerusalem for rejecting the Messiah, the prophet now announces a message of hope. The imagery is that of the world in opposition to the Messiah in an incredible battle (cf. Psalm 2). It is not a battle of carnal weapons because the redeemed remnant have no horses, no chariots, no bows and arrows (Zechariah 9:10). Rather, it is a spiritual war between Messiah and Satan; it is the war between truth and error. God will reveal that Jesus is His Christ and draw all men unto Himself (John 6:44-45; 12:30-33).
