His Side Pierced


Zechariah 12

10 "And I will pour upon the house of David, And upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, The spirit of grace and supplication; And they shall look unto Me because they have thrust him through; And they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, And shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his first-born".

FULFILLMENT

"But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water."
John 19:34

Theodore Laetsch (Bible Commentary: The Minor Prophets) writes:
"Now a remarkable statement is added. The Lord Jehovah speaks of Himself as having been pierced by men who shall look upon Him and shall mourn for Him.
The word pierce- thrust through- occurs nine times as a thrust by a sword or spear (Num. 25; Judg. 9:54; I Sam 31:4; I Chron. 10:4; Is. 13:15; Jer. 37:10, 'wounded'; 51:4; Zech. 12:10,; 13:3); occurs once as pierced by pangs of hunger described as more painful than a sword thrust" (Lamentations 4:9).

PROPHECY

It is melted within me."
