9Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion!
Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem!
Behold, your king is coming to you;
righteous and having salvation is he,
humble and mounted on a donkey,
on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
10I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim
and the war horse from Jerusalem;
and the battle bow shall be cut off,
and he shall speak peace to the nations;
his rule shall be from sea to sea,
and from the River to the ends of the earth.
2For the household gods utter nonsense,
and the diviners see lies;
they tell false dreams
and give empty consolation.
Therefore the people wander like sheep;
they are afflicted for lack of a shepherd.
6 “I will strengthen the house of Judah,
and I will save the house of Joseph.
I will bring them back because I have compassion on them,
and they shall be as though I had not rejected them,
for I am the Lord their God and I will answer them. I can see why the Jewish people were waiting for an army commander saviour, someone to save them
Zechariah 10:1 Ask the Lord for rain in the springtime; it is the Lord who sends the thunderstorms. He gives showers of rain to all people, and plants of the field to everyone.
I love you, God ❤️
17saying,
“We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty,
who is and who was,
for you have taken your great power
and begun to reign.

as the flock of his people;
for like the jewels of a crown
they shall shine on his land.

Thanks for connecting info about 30 pieces… So amazing to see how God links everything together.
Zechariah 11:12-13…30 pieces (which is how much they paid for slaves then) is prophesying about how much Judas would be paid to betray Jesus.

I love reading fulfilled prophesy about the first coming of Christ alongside prophesy from the book about the second coming of Christ.
