| ¶ | And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for [his] only [son], and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for [his] firstborn. |
Everyone has their favorite Bible passages,
and for me, this is in the Top 10.
As I've discussed, "House of David" and
"inhabitants of Jerusalem" refers to
National Israel (Erets Yisrael) and the
Jews and Palestinians of Ishmael, since
he is a child of Abraham. Palestinians
are often excluded, so I want to make
them an equal partner, because I
believe they are, and they will also
be blessed when New Jerusalem
arrives.
In fact, House of David may refer to
the Jews, alone, and "Inhabitants of
Jerusalem" may actually refer to those
of Palestine who also hope in the God
of Abraham for salvation. Only God
knows who will receive the blessings
of this magnificent verse.

WOW! It's even more stirring in Hebrew!
Let me begin by just celebrating the English
KJV translation, which I personally adore.
It drives home how all of us are saved by
GRACE, through faith, and how it is purely
a gift of God, lest any man boast. When I
first was drawn into the fold, I had so many
doubts from my cultural indoctrination as
a Jew to reject Christ. My victory came when
I was counseled to PRAY FOR FAITH!
"Lord, help my unbelief." Even faith is given.
In this verse, the spirit of faith and illumination
is given to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and
House of David, who hitherto had been in
darkness, and in unbelief. Suddenly, they
see. In an instant, they are converted.
I think this happens when New Jerusalem
arrives and the signs which accompany it's
arrival.
At this point, the Jews and Inhabitants of
Jerusalem (Palestine) mourn Christ, and
recognize him. The language of this verse
couldn't be more plain, "They shall
look upon me whom they have pierced"
and "They shall mourn as one mourns
for an only son ".... "firstborn"
Like I said, WOW!!!!

Even though daqar is used this once to convey
"pierced", the overall meaning is the same as
"thrust through" and wounded. Obviously this
related to the crucifixion, so the word was
tweaked to give us the full message of the
prophecy, much clearer to us than Zechariah
who wrote this hundreds of years before Christ.

AN ONLY SON= Yachiyd
Gen 22:2 And he said , Take now thy son ,
thine only (son) yachiyd Isaac 03327,
whom thou lovest , and get thee into the land of Moriah;
and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one
of the mountains which I will tell thee of.
Upon this verse in Genesis 22:2, the entire
covenant of the Jews rests. For God so loved
the world that he gave HIS ONLY SON. This
was the ram, the HOLY Lamb of God, symbolized
by the blood of the proxy ram which the ANGEL
of the LORD provided. Remember how the
Angel of the LORD is preincarnate Christ.
Before Christ was clothed with human flesh
and nerves, Zechariah and Isaiah clearly defined
His sacrifice and suffering, as well as God's
Plan. Remember how God in the OT is
not only Elahanu (singular) but in most
instances, Elohiym, which is PLURAL.
Here is the veil lifted and our eyes behold
the mercy seat of God through His Son
and through the sacrifice of His being pierced,
"thrust through" for our propitiation and
forgiveness. It is through these events which
make us acceptable to God, though formerly
veiled in ritual and customary laws.
So, when He returns, all eyes in Jerusalem are
witnesses, and they mourn him as their only
son, as their Messiah. They recognize how
he was wounded for our sins and transgressions,
and how the price for our souls was put upon
his shoulders.
I remember when I finally "GOT IT!" That "AHA
moment" for me was when I read Genesis 22
for the 4th or 5th time, and when Abraham laid
upon Isaac's shoulders the wood for the altar,
and as he led him up the hill to the high place
where he was willing to pierce him for God's
word, the image of Jesus Christ, carrying the
cross, became superimposed.
I wept for what seemed like hours and hours.
For the first time, I stopped congratulating
myself for being such a pious little girl, reading
the Bible, and my sins crushed me, like that
cross crashing down on a starved, beaten,
dehydrated puny frame. I could recognize
the true holiness of God, and in a flash of
light, I finally saw Christ in all his holiness and
sacrifice for my sins.
This epiphany is a sacred moment in the life
of any Christian, and far from traumatic, it
is cleansing. It is the baptism of fire, where
our sins go up in smoke, and we realize that
we are responsible for the crucifixion of the
Son of God. He is our MESSIAH! Our only
SON!
While blindness has happened to Erets Yisrael,
when New Jerusalem arrives, all eyes will
be opened, and they too will see Him in that
moment of clarity. It will be even more
powerful because it will be an epiphany for
millions, not just one person at a time.
Before the LORD judges the Earth and its
inhabitants, there will be ample opportunity
to repent and millions will not only repent,
but will take up their crosses and face death,
courageously, even merrily, like the original
disciples of the Church.

Marar is classically translated as "bitterness"
and it is a form of the word "myhrr" and
MARY or Miryiam. There were two eras when
the name Miyiam was prevalent, when Moses
was born, and his sister Mary/Miryiam, because
the Hebrews were slaves and their lives were
hard. Next era was when Christ was born, and
his mother Mary/Miryiam was so named due
to their parallel occupation by Rome. Indeed,
in Ruth, Naomi changes her name to Mary,
"for the LORD hath dealt bitterly with me..."

FIRSTBORN- Bekowr
Firstborn is an important role in a family,

is the chief inheritor of the father, as we
can see in illustrations of this, such as when
Jacob usurped his twin brother's firstborn
status, snatching his blessing from Isaac:
Gen 27:19 And Jacob said unto his father ,
I [am] Esau thy firstborn bekowr; I have done according
as thou badest me: arise , I pray thee, sit and eat of my venison ,
that thy soul may bless me.

Jerusalem. They will repent, and they
will believe. Before judgment is meted out,
all people of the world will have the
opportunity to recognize God's firstborn,
and our King, Jesus, SAVIOR.
Father God, in the NAME of JESUS,
please sustain us in the hope of our
LORD and Savior. Give us the strength
of faith to abide during these times which
vex our souls, and make our hearts weak.
I pray that all those who call on your
name, no matter what denomination, will
have your Spirit minister to them, and they
may receive true light without the false
indoctrination from their church leaders,
who often are trained in seminaries which
kills the light.
I ask for mercy for all Israel and Palestine,
for them to be conditioned to receive the
LORD coming down. I rejoice in the news
of His imminent arrival. I feel like leaping
for joy, and I praise you with all my heart,
soul and strength.
In the Holy Name of Jesus Christ,
Yeshua HaMashiach. AMEN.
