Zechariah sets the biblical camera on Jerusalem in the closing days of the 70th Week. Lost in the mayhem and heroism is a critical sequence: when national Israel finally calls on Jesus as their messiah, He comes down from heaven and saves them. Does the Lord's promised return await Jewish acceptance of Jesus?

6. I: FROM GOG TO FINAL RESCUE
Five Steps to the End

7. Ezekiel 37-39 => Daniel 11 =>
Zechariah 12+14
GOG’S ATTACK ON ISRAEL: (Ezekiel’s Vision of the Dry Bones)
A PACT WITH THE DEVIL: (But he seems so nice!)
THE DEVIL UNLEASHED: (Who could have seen this coming?)
THE WOLF AMONG THE SHEEP: (Time of Jacob’s Trouble)
RESCUE AT THE END: (So close to extinction)

8. 1. GOG’S ATTACK ON ISRAEL
(From Ezekiel 37-39)
I covered this attack in detail several presentations back.
Click here to check it out.
I place Gog’s attack before the seven-years of the 70th Week/
Tribulation.
Israel emerges from Gog’s failed attack confident of Jehovah’s
blessing, perhaps even cocky. Such pride would explain the
blindness with which they soon act. Such pride might explain
why they seemingly replicate the internal squabbling that
gave Antiochus Epiphanes his early advantage back in the
time of the Maccabees (circa 170’s and 160’s BC).

The “firm covenant for one week”,
or seven years, from Daniel 9:27.
I cannot settle on a place of
origin for this individual who
will, in time, become the
AntiChrist. Makes my head
hurt.
He ‘seizes the kingdom’ by
intrigue which suggests
collusion with Jewish political
factions and THEN he
violently shatters the alarmed
opposition.
“Prince of the Covenant” . . .
hmm. Could this be the duly
appointed, Jewish religious
leader of the time?

10. The final AntiChrist will
model my evil ways.
Antiochus Epiphanes was the ruler of
one of the four sections of Alexander
the Great’s empire–the Syrian
section, which included Israel. He
was nuts. Really.
Antiochus Epiphanes used divisions
among Jewish elite to politicize
Israel’s religious system. First one
side bribed him for advantage and
then the other.
Antiochus Epiphanes
He it is whose stopping of the
regular sacrifice and desecration of
the temple prefigure the behavior of
the AntiChrist, so called.

3. THE DEVIL UNLEASHED
(From Daniel 11:31)
31“Forces from him w
ill arise, desecrate the
sanctuary fortress, and
do away with the regu
lar
sacrifice. And they wil
l set up the abominati
on of
desolation. 32 By smo
oth words he will turn
to
godlessness those who
act wickedly toward th
e
covenant, but the peop
le who know their God
will
display strength and ta
ke action.”
Hard not to think of the
Maccabees here, again noticing
the parallels to Antiochus
Epiphanes and 167 BC!
This answers to Daniel 9:27’s
‘in the middle of the week . . .’,
that is, 3 ½ years into the 7
year covenant/alliance
Odd phrasing here: He’s
simply moving an ALREADY
wicked Jewish faction to
additional behaviors Daniel
calls ‘godless’.
“The people who know their God . . .’
Could this be the 144,000? Jewish
Christians? Orthodox Jews?

4. WOLF AMONG THE SHEEP
(From Daniel 11:33)
“And there will be a time of
distress such as never occurred
since there was a nation until
that time; and at that time
your people, everyone who is
found written in the book, will
be rescued.” Dan 12:1
Those who join ‘in hypocrisy’
might be hero-wannabes. When
things get tough, they betray their
fellows and run off.

‘“Alas! for that day is great,
There is none like it;
And it is the time of Jacob’s

Those who join ‘in hypocrisy’

14. 5. A DESPERATE RESCUE
AT THE END
A loss of ⅔ of
the population!
“For I will restore you to health. And I will heal
you of your wounds,’ declares the Lord, ‘Because
they have called you an outcast, saying: “It is
Zion; no one cares for her.”’”
Jeremiah 30:17
9“And I will bring the third part through the fire,
Refine them as silver is refined,
And test them as gold is tested.
They will call on My name,
And I will answer them;
I will say, ‘They are My people,’
And they will say, ‘The Lord is my God.’”
Zechariah 13:9
Why does ⅔ of the
population need to perish
in this refining process?

Jesus weeps over Jerusalem-and
announces an important sequence:

having happened FIRST!!!

How did this call come about?
We see Jesus,
our Messiah!

27. Notice how “The Deliverer”
will remove ungodliness from
Jacob–there’s a spiritual revival
and cleansing involved.
25 For I do not want you, brethren, to be
uninformed of this mystery—so that you will
not be wise in your own estimation—that a
partial hardening has happened to Israel
until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in;
26 and so all Israel will be saved; just as
it is written,
“THE DELIVERER WILL COME FROM
ZION, HE WILL REMOVE UNGODLINESS
FROM JACOB.”
Romans 11:25+
Apparently God intervenes on the Jews’ behalves,
removing the veil of ‘ungodliness’ from them as a
step in their national redemption.
Sequence Time: we deal once again with the word
UNTIL: Jewish national salvation happens
Paul offers support.
WHEN/AFTER the ‘fullness of the Gentiles‘ has
come in–at the end of the age!

28. You better look for
more corroboration on this
one, Lenny!
11 I say then, they did not stumble so as to
fall, did they? May it never be! But by their
transgression salvation has come to the
Gentiles, to make them jealous. 12 Now if
their transgression is riches for the world and
their failure is riches for the Gentiles, how
much more will their fulfillment be! . . . .
15 For if their rejection is the reconciliation of
the world, what will their acceptance be but
life from the dead? Romans 11:11-15
Hmmmm. . . . “Life from the dead” might refer
to the resurrection of the dead which happens at
the Return of Jesus Christ . . . . in fact, what else
could this phrase mean?
S-o-o-o-o, sequence-time again. When the Jews
Paul has more to say.
accept Jesus as their Messiah at the end of the
age, then He returns and . . . the dead in Christ
rise?

29. Time of the Gentiles
finishes
These NT references
suggest this sequence:
A Deliverer comes from Zion and
removes ungodliness from Israel
The Jews call out, “Blessed
is He who comes in the
name of the Lord
The Jews look
upon Jesus
Jesus returns!
The Dead rise!
And so, all Israel is saved

30. No sweat, Mike,
Zechariah’s got me
covered. Just keep
smiling . . .
OK, dad, you’d
better corroborate that
sequence or nobody’s
going to buy it!

31. III-A: HOW ALL ISRAEL
COMES TO BE SAVED
Victory and Redemption in Zechariah 12

32. Chapter 12 gives us an overview
of Israel at the end.
Jerusalem goes on a rampage
Jerusalem is under
siege-Judah, too!
2. “Behold, I am going to make Jerusalem a cup
that causes reeling to all the peoples around; and
when the siege is against Jerusalem, it will also be
against Judah. 3. It will come about in that day
that I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all
the peoples; all who lift it will be severely injured.
And all the nations of the earth will be gathered
against it.”
The ‘nations’ get
a beat-down.
At the end, all the world
attacks Israel . . .
(See Revelation 16:14)

33. 12:6-9 reiterates with details
Judah has a specific military role
God still deals with
tribal grievances and
jealousies in Israel.
Jerusalem defended
secondly
6 “In that day I will make the clans of Judah like a
firepot among pieces of wood and a flaming torch
among sheaves, so they will consume on the right hand
and on the left all the surrounding peoples, while the
inhabitants of Jerusalem again dwell on their own sites
in Jerusalem. 7 The Lord also will save the tents of
Judah first, so that the glory of the house of David and
the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem will not be
magnified above Judah. 8 In that day the Lord will
defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the one who is
feeble among them in that day will be like David, and
the house of David will be like God, like the angel of the
Lord before them. 9 And in that day I will set about to
destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.”
Fascinating reference to the
‘house of David’. WUWT??

34. 12:10 spotlights the Spirit’s role
First off, “SO THAT”:
establishes a cause-andeffect relationship between
the verse’s two statements
I. First, God pours out His Spirit onto
Jerusalem and Israel SO THAT
10 “I will pour out on the house of David and on the
inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace and of
supplication, so that they will look on Me whom they
have pierced; and they will mourn for Him, as one
mourns for an only son, and they will weep bitterly over
Him like the bitter weeping over a firstborn.
God’s Spirit must soften
hardened Jewish hearts just as
He must soften hardened Gentile
hearts if we are to be saved
His role is central to everything
that happens here!
II. Secondly, Jews will LOOK ON
JESUS and mourn and weep over
their rejection of their Messiah

35. III-B: HOW ALL ISRAEL
COMES TO BE SAVED
The fountain for impurity in Zechariah 13

36. Chapter 13:1-2: God explains his
intention to spiritually cleanse all Israel
God fulfills His
intentions for Israel in
the 70th Week.
An end to sin
Atonement for
iniquity

righteousness
God’s grace as a cleansing

1 In that day a fountain will be opened for
the house of David and for the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
for sin and for impurity.
2 It will come about in that day,” declares the Lord of
hosts, “that I will cut off the names of the idols from the
land, and they will no longer be remembered; and I will
also remove the prophets and the unclean spirit from the
land.”
The cleansing fountain reaches

37. 13:7 anchors us at The Cross
7 “Awake, O sword, against My Shepherd,
and against the man, My Associate,”
declares the Lord of hosts.
Strike the Shepherd that the sheep may be
scattered and I will turn My hand against
the little ones.”
The reference here is to Christ,
Shepherd of the Jewish flock,
One with God the Father.
The reference here is to the crucifixion
of Jesus and subsequent dispersal of
the Jews at 70 AD.

38. 13:8+9 leap to The End
This incredible slaughter sets the
measure of Jewish despair.
Here God states His purpose: spiritual
refinement, spiritual brokeness and a
national acceptance of Jesus as
Messiah–at last.
8 “It will come about in all the land,”
declares the Lord, “That two parts in it
will be cut off and perish but the third will
be left in it.
9 And I will bring the third part through
the fire, refine them as silver is refined, and
test them as gold is tested. They will call on

3. Half city exiled; half
hold on and then . . .
Notice the sequence:
1 “Behold, a day is coming for the Lord when the
spoil taken from you will be divided among you.
2 For I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem
to battle, and the city will be captured, the houses
plundered, the women ravished and half of the city
exiled, but the rest of the people will not be cut off
from the city.
3 Then the Lord will go forth and fight against
those nations, as when He fights on a day of battle.”
4. The Lord goes forth and
fights, as when He fights
on a day of battle! Wow!

41. 14:4-5 Camera Goes Into the Field
This is first of several ‘field reports’ which
flesh out the segment’s headline and lead.
4 “In that day His feet will stand on the Mount of
Olives, which is in front of Jerusalem on the east;

How frequently does
Zechariah identify this
climax of the age with
this phrase, ‘in that
day’? How often does
Isaiah use this same
phrase to tag the
moment of The End?
6 In that day there will be no light; the luminaries
will dwindle. 7 For it will be a unique day which is
known to the Lord, neither day nor night, but it will
come about that at evening time there will be light.
8 And in that day living waters will flow out of
Jerusalem, half of them toward the eastern sea and
the other half toward the western sea; it will be in

the world, what will their acceptance be but

“. . . and at that time your people, everyone who is
found written in the book, will be rescued.Many of
those who sleep in the dust of the ground will awake,
these to everlasting life, but the others to disgrace
and everlasting contempt.” Daniel 12:2 describing
the precise moment covered by Zechariah 12-14
4 “. . . And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their
testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not
worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark on their
forehead and on their hand; and they came to life and reigned with
Christ for a thousand years. 5 The rest of the dead did not come to life until
the thousand years were completed. This is the first resurrection.”
Revelation 20, announcing the FIRST RESURRECTION at the end of the
tribulation, at the end of the Time of Jacob’s Troubles, so called.
