Zech. 13:1–6 To cleanse the repentant people from their sin, God will open up a fountain (v. 1) from which will flow the running water necessary for ritual purification (see Lev. 14:5; compare Ezek. 47:1–12; Rev. 22:1–2). The people’s uncleanness comes from their devotion to idols (Zech. 13:2; compare Ezek. 36:25). This is the sin that “pierced” the Lord (Zech. 12:10), a phrase recalled by John as he told of Christ’s death on the cross (John 19:37). The Lord promises to remove the names of the idols from the land, ending their influence and memory (Zech. 13:2).
Zech. 13:7–14:21 Fearsome conflicts await the people of God, but God will intervene and usher in a day in which Jerusalem is supreme and all the world worships the true God.
Zech. 13:7–9 This time the sword of the Lord’s judgment goes out against the good shepherd. This scatters the flock and leads to a time of great trial for God’s people. During this time many will perish. Yet the testing period will lead to mutual commitment between the Lord and his people.
