From the Pulpit...

Zechariah eases up on the heavy symbolism of the chapter 11, and in the twelfth chapter he focuses our attention on the "Day of the Lord" which includes the Tribulation and millennial kingdom. These days open with enemies attempting to wipe out the nation of Israel. But God promises to destroy the enemies, deliver Israel, and on top of that, He promises to save Israel from their sin. A remarkable turning from sin to the Messiah will occur "in that day" when the Jews finally realize that they killed the Messiah.
