That Day

In Zechariah chapters 12-14, there are about 17 referencesto “that day.” Here are a few of them.

“On that day a fountain will be opened to the house of Davidand the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to cleanse them from sin and impurity. ‘Onthat day, I will banish the names of the idols from the land, and they will beremembered no more,’ declares the LORD Almighty. ‘I will remove both theprophets and the spirit of impurity from the land’” (Zech. 13:1-2).

“On that day living water will flow out from Jerusalem, halfto the eastern sea and half to the western sea, in summer and in winter. TheLORD will be king over the whole earth. On that day there will be one LORD, andhis name the only name” (Zech. 14:8-9).

“On that day HOLY TO THE LORD will be inscribed on the bellsof the horses, and the cooking pots in the LORD's house will be like the sacredbowls in front of the altar” (Zech. 14:20).

Let us look forward to that day.
