Zechariah 14
Verse of the Day: V20 “In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD; and the pots in the LORD’s house shall be like the bowls before the altar.”
1. Waters (V1-11)
V8 “And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.”
In that day, or a future period of time known as the Millennium, the Lord Jesus Christ shall return to earth, and resides in Jerusalem to rule the entire world. During the Millennium, living waters shall flow out from His throne purifying all who worship Him.
“And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.” (Revelation 22:1)
2. Wealth (V12-15)
V12 “And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.”
In that day the Lord Jesus shall destroy all nations and people who are against Jerusalem, and establish it as His kingdom and city of great wealth of gold, silver and apparel.
V14 “And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the heathen round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance.”
3. Worship (V16-21)
V16 “And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.”
Every year during the Millennium everyone from all over the world shall travel to the holy city of Jerusalem to worship the Lord Jesus Christ, the King, and everything such as the bells, the pots, etc., shall be cleansed, sanctified and dedicated for His holy service.
V20 “In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD; and the pots in the LORD’s house shall be like the bowls before the altar.”
Prayer of the Day:
Dearest God, please help me to worship You in the beauty of holiness.
