Does anyone understand Zechariah 14.

I do not know if anyone understand if this prophecy is conditional, and if it is, why was the Spirit poured upon Jerusalem in Zechariah 12.10? "And I will pour out on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will look on Me whom they pierced. Yes, they will mourn for Him" If the prophecy on Zechariah 14 was conditional, why does it say in chapter 10 they will mourn over the One whom they pierced? Obviously God knows they pierced His Son, and the end prophecy would not have been conditional upon whether they had rejected His Son (which they did). If you are a person who knows and understands these prophecies, I would like to hear your biblical opinion.

In Zechariah 14, all nations gather to battle against Jerusalem. The city is taken, the women are attacked, half the city goes into captivity. Then the LORD emerges to fight against the enemies of Jerusalem. Jesus lands upon the Mount of Olives, it splits, and the people run through the crevice. Then living waters flow from Jerusalem. Those who are left after the epic battle must come to Jerusalem must come to keep the Feast of Tabernacles every year to Jerusalem. If they do not, no rain fall on them. If you understand, please let me know the meaning.

This is a non-essential question, I prefer to study genuine faith.

see https://spiritualsprings.proboards.com/thread/112/practical-examples-genuine-faith

Zechariah 14 is about the third coming of Jesus - notice the feasts of Jesus are still important to Him and His people
So why does the SDA think feasts are not important? Mrs White calls them by a new term "love feast".

In your earlier post

Jeff Benner does a nice video on Zech 12:10 "who they pierced" Many Jews will turn to Jesus in the end of time,
while many SDA are asleep and fail to practice genuine faith.

It's strange that while we knew of the USA becoming like a dragon, many SDA still got jabbed and died from the vaccine.
How sad we trust science during the beginning of the time of the end? Will we still seek drug medicine during Sunday Law decree?
My mum (now deceased) was taking 22 tablets every day as doctors wanted her to take. Sorry to be off topic but what specific do you wish to post. These chapters are huge in nature.

Shalom

Thank you for your response. I do not think a prophecy about the end time is nonessential. Especially because we are in the end time right now or very close to His coming.
I was talking about the last three chapters of Zechariah.
I agree with you that the end time prophecies of the Old Testament do speak about feasts and maybe we should be keeping the feasts without the sacrifices.
Adventists do not seem to understand the Old Testament end time prophecies.

Nice comments my friend, this week the Lord gave me some comments for you...

Zec 12:10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, 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 firstborn.
11 In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.

In the final scenes of [Re 16:16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.] we have this alluded to in detaIls in Zec 12 and onwards. First the attitude of everyone to Jesus is first most important:

How do we treat the Saviour who was pierced for our transgressions?

Zec 12:14 All the families that remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.
(KJV)

It drives Jewish families apart and Gentile families apart, you have to make a decision:

Joe 3:14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.

Decisions for WHOM? Jesus. Genuine faith. Do you want Jesus empowering you, allowing human powers to be empowered by Jesus divine powers? You need only ask, or do you wish to be captured by human powers alone, deceptively empowered by the Opposer by spurious faith ?

Zec 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.
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.
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.
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.
(KJV)

Now the prophecy has more details - 1/3 goes through the fires of Jesus power by faith in Him

Shalom
