Zechariah 12 - "On Whom They Pierced" - Brent Stephens / June 2, 2024

Chapter 12 marks the beginning of the final oracle in the book of Zechariah. This oracle will continue through the end of the book. As you read the remaining chapters of Zechariah, you can quickly glean the central themes from this last oracle. One of these themes is the great day of salvation that awaits God’s people. In chapters 12-14, the phrase “On that day” occurs fifteen times! Everything can change in a day, can’t it? History hinges on important days: D-Day, Independence Day, and 9/11 to name a few. What a difference a day can make! Zechariah wants to bring encouragement to the people of God by prophesying about what God will do on the great day of salvation that awaits the remnant. On that great day, God will keep His people, He will convert His people, and He will cleanse His people.
