SCRIPTURE

"Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion; for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith Jehovah. And many nations shall join themselves to Jehovah in that day, and shall be my people; and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that Jehovah of hosts has sent me unto thee. And Jehovah shall inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and shall yet choose Jerusalem. Be silent, all flesh, before Jehovah; for he is waked up out of his holy habitation." — Zechariah 2:10-13 (ASV)

Here is a prediction of the coming of Christ in human nature. Many nations in that day will renounce idolatry, and God will acknowledge those as His people who join Him with purpose of heart. Glorious times are foretold as a prophecy of our Lord's coming and kingdom.

God is about to do something unexpected and very surprising, and to plead His people's cause, which had long seemed neglected. Silently submit to His holy will and patiently await the outcome, confident that God will complete all His work. He will before long come to judgment, to complete the salvation of His people and to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their sins.
