Warfare Gives Way To Worship By Fountain And Fire

In Zechariah 12 the nations are at war with God’s people and God himself declares that he will destroy everyone that comes against Jerusalem. Yet as the prophecy draws to a close we find survivors from the nations being drawn to Jerusalem to worship (14:16). What can account for such a dramatic change? It is the opening of a fountain in Jerusalem on that day that someone very close to Yahweh is pierced which results in the land being purified and the shepherd’s flock being scattered for refining by fire.

The following aspects of a worship service are included as a suggested guide to worshipping as a household for Sunday 4th October, 2020
