THEY SHALL LOOK UPON ONE WHOM THEY PIERCED;AND THEY SHALL MOURN FOR HIM.
Shalom.
The Bible tells us, a short period before the coming of Christ to the time of his actual return,there shall be two groups of people who shall be mourning for him.The first group is that of the Israelites.The Bible tells us so Zechariah chapter 12.
Let us read – Zechariah 12:10-14;
“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.
In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem,as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the variety of Meggido.
And the land shall mourn,every family apart;the family of the house of David apart,and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart,and their wives apart:
The family of the house of Levi apart,and their wives apart; the family of Shimei apart, and their wives apart;
All the families that remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.”
And the second group includes people of all nations of the earth.We read about this in;
Revelation 1:7;
“Behold,he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him:and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him.Even so, Amen.”
The Bible puts a lot of emphasis on those who pierced Christ as the ones who shall mourn for him.While there were others who flogged,sneered,spat and hurled insults on Jesus.They also crucified him on the cross.
Why those who pierced him?There is a lesson for us to learn in that;so that we ourselves may be careful not to fall among those whose judgment has already been pronounced against them before the actual time.
Picturing back at the occurrences that took place while Jesus was on the cross,a short while before he was pierced on the side,we see that all the suffering had ended.By then, Jesus had given up his spirit.Later, the Roman soldiers came as instructed by Pilate to break the legs of those who had been crucified.They broke legs of the two men who had been crucified with Jesus.When they came to him and saw he might be dead,they did not break his legs.Instead,they decided to confirm his death.Thus,using a long spear,they pierced his side . Something which maybe they were not told to do.
They sunk the spear inside and burst the bag-like structure with water sorounding the heart.They pierced into the heart too.An outflow of water and blood is a sign that indeed the spear got to his heart.At this rate,the soldiers were 100pc sure that Christ was dead.
To the soldiers,this was something so serious,and they regarded it so lightly.But to God,this was a grave matter.All the injuries they had inflicted on the body of Christ did not concern him so much.But the one that had gone deep inside Christ’s heart, God’s own heart!This he has not forgotten until the the end.It’s for this reason that the people shall mourn for Christ in the end times.
John 19:34;
“But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side,and forthwith came there out blood and water.”
My dear brothers and sisters, know this:that all the evil you commit now is like causing outwardly injuries on Christ.A time is coming when these will get to the inside and pierce his heart.At this point,God will not show his mercy again.Neither will forgive your sins any more.What shall be there in wait for you is mourning.If you find yourself today left in the world after the “rapture”, know that you have pierced his heart.What shall follow is the Day of the Lord,when he shall come to avenge himself on those who rejected him.It will be such a terrible day.There shall be mourning for the evildoers.
If you had no knowledge pertaining to the Lord’s calendar,then learn this.At the moment,we are only still waiting for the rapture to take place.All the signs have been fulfilled.Yet the action of rapture shall not include everyone.Rather,it will be exclusively for us the people of the nations who have believed in Jesus Christ,and a few Jews born into the Christian faith (this is the bride of Christ.)
Presently, many Jews do not believe in Jesus Christ as the Messiah who is to come.This group will not be part of the rapture.This is because God has struck them with (spiritual) blindness so that we people of the nations may believe in him and be saved.This will continue for a while until the day when Christ is revealed,and it shall be fulfilled by the action of rapture.
Thereafter,the saving grace and power that convicts us of sin and prompts us to repent will move to Israel.God will open their eyes so they may realize that the one they had crucified 2000 years ago was indeed their Messiah.There shall be mourning and weeping all-day long in the whole of Israel,as the Bible says in Zechariah chapter 12 above.Yet God will hide them in the day of the Lord and be merciful to them.This is is because he himself had blinded them for our sake.He will forgive their sins and they shall be saved.Then they will enter in the 1000 years reign.
The rest of the nations who will miss the rapture shall experience the great distress at the time when the anti-Christ is revealed.All the people living under the sun at time shall mourn for how they pierced Christ through their sinful and unrepentant lives.There will be great signs from heaven and terrible and deadly events taking place on earth.This takes into account the disastrous plagues prophesied in the book of Revelation chapter 16.On this vengeful day,the Lord will pour out his wrath in full vent on all those living on the face of the earth.And then the end shall come.All the evildoers will be thrown into the lake of fire.This is a dangerous and dreadful place that no one would want to get there.
Do you also inflict Jesus with injuries? Remember we live the end time,. Genuinely repent of your sins and follow him.For the day of the Feast of the Lamb is drawing near.Soon the trumpet will be blown.We will all be invited to feast at the banquet of the Lamb,which God has long prepared for those who love him.The Spirit of God testifies to many that the day is coming, it’s right at the door.May the Lord help us to get the other side of our lives safely.
Be blessed.
