If you support and practice our fiscal issues, you may value worldly possessions.
If you support and value our social issues, you may love Judeo-Christian values.
If you support and practice all these values, that is all good; an insignia of “Wisdom” . - Oscar Y. Harward

Zechariah 12
New International Version 1984 (NIV1984)
Jerusalem’s Enemies to Be
Destroyed
An Oracle
12 This is 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 spirit of man
within him, 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 the house of
Judah, but I will blind all the horses of the nations.5 Then the leaders 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 leaders of Judah like a
firepot
in a woodpile, like a flaming torch among sheaves. They will consume
right and left all the surrounding peoples, 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.
Mourning for the One They
Pierced
10 “And I
will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a
spirit[a]
of grace and supplication.
They will look on[b] 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.11 On that day the weeping
in Jerusalem will be great, like the weeping of Hadad Rimmon in the plain of
Megiddo.12 The land will mourn,
each clan by itself, with their wives by themselves: the clan of the house of
David and their wives, the clan of the house of Nathan and their wives,13 the clan of the house of Levi and their wives, the clan
of Shimei and their wives,14 and all the rest of the
clans and their wives.
