Zechariah 13
|
|
| 13:1
In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to
the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness. |
|
| 13:2
And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I
will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall no more
be remembered: and also I
will cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to pass out of the land. |
God plans to expel the prophets and unclean
spirits. Sounds like a good plan to me.
|
| 13:3
And it shall come to pass, that when any shall yet prophesy, then his father and his mother that
begat him shall say unto him, Thou shalt not live; for thou speakest lies in
the name of the LORD: and his father and his mother that begat him shall
thrust him through when he prophesieth. |
A prophet must be killed by his own parents by "thrusting him through when he
prophesieth."
|
| 13:4
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the prophets shall be ashamed
every one of his vision, when he hath prophesied; neither shall they wear a
rough garment to deceive: |
|
| 13:5
But he shall say, I am no prophet, I am an husbandman; for man taught me
to keep cattle from my youth. |
|
| 13:6
And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds in thine hands? Then he
shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends. |
|
| 13:7
Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my
fellow, saith the LORD of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be
scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones. |
|
| 13:8
And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the LORD, two parts
therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein. |
|
| 13:9
And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as
silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my
name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say,
The LORD is my God.
