For Zec
Jerusalem is going to be a city where others will attack yet the city will remain because God is in control of that place. God then says he will destroy those that have attacked Jerusalem
Talks about God pouring kindness and mercy on the peoples in Jerusalem and there will be a time when they will realise what they have done in the past towards God and mourn - forgiveness??
Don't like what he's going to do to the horses + riders
For us to take away
Love the verse at beginning ' The Lord who stretches out the heavens, who lays the foundations of the earth and who forms the spirit of man inside' How awesome is our God. Just blows me away that this is the God we serve who loves us.
whatever we do or say, God is there watching and listening to everything.

Yet again Zech pulls out a weird one!
What happens:
- The Lord proclaims judgement on the nations surrounding Judah and Israel. He will destroy all of them. Jerusalem will be thrown into panic but God will prevent any damage happening. By this the people will know that He is God.
- There is then a section about the people mourning a death
Meaning:
- The first part is basically just what God is going to do to the people. This will show His power to the people and they will fear Him and know Him to be God All-Powerful.
- The second section is a prophecy about Jesus on the cross. He will be pierced with a spear and the people will mourn and weep. We know this happened when Jesus died on the cross.
Stuff for us:
- God breathed life into us. The God who destroys and has the power to obliterate nations and enemies hand-made us and breathed His own breath into us. Wow!
- Another prophecy about Jesus, yet another thing to point towards Him as the one true Lord and King!
