Jerusalem’s Day of Mourning
[Zechariah 12:1-14](../../../kjv/zechariah/12/1-14)
****
This vision refers to a time yet future, when the Jews shall have returned to their own land, but still in unbelief; and will be assailed by their foes, though in vain, [Zechariah 12:2-3](../../../kjv/zechariah/12/2-3) ; [Zechariah 12:6](../../../kjv/zechariah/12/6) . The Lord will defend them, [Zechariah 12:7-8](../../../kjv/zechariah/12/7-8) . Then the nation will mourn. Their repentance will be *universal* , from the highest to the lowest; *lonely* , and *on account of the sufferings they inflicted on Jesus* . The Agent of this mourning will be the Holy Spirit; and it will eventuate in the full forgiveness of sin through the blood of atonement and an entire cleansing from idols.
