In That Day - They Will Be Like Drunks

The Minor Prophets Speak To Today

In That Day:

Zechariah 12:4-5 NLT

____________________________________________________________

“On that day,” says the Lord, 
“I will cause every horse to panic 
and every rider to lose his nerve. 
I will watch over the people of Judah, 
but I will blind all the horses of their enemies. 
And the clans of Judah will say to themselves, 
‘The people of Jerusalem have found strength 
in the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, their God.’

Zechariah 12:4-5 NLT

On What Day?

On the day that the LORD

             Who Stretched out the Heavens

                Who Laid the foundation of the Earth

                      Who formed the Human Spirit,

On the day that that LORD

              Makes the Nations nearby Jerusalem

                  Stagger with Blood Thirst for the

                       Intoxicating Drink which is Jerusalem.

On the day that the LORD

               Makes Jerusalem an immovable Rock

                    And all the Nations that gather against it

                           Only Hurt Themselves.

On That Day!

              Every horse of flesh or machine will panic.

                    Every rider of these war machines will lose his nerve.

                         The LORD will watch over the People of Judah

                                As rebellious and anti-Christ as they may be.

                                      And That Lord will blind all the horses of their enemies.

On That Day . . .

All the clans that make up Judah.

All the clans that are already grafted into the New Israel.

All the People of God - Faithful and Unfaithful, Rebellious and Obedient

Will Know and Declare, "The people of Jerusalem have found strength in the LORD of

         Heaven's Armies of their God!"

It will be a shock. 

It will cause rejoicing.

It will make clear that there is a LORD

In Heaven that does what He wants, not what people deserve

       (though he also does what people deserve).

BUT THE CONVERSION OF ISRAEL WILL STILL NOT YET COME

On That Day.

Though it will be a glorious day!
