In that day, a fountain opened 1
Names of idols and false prophets to be cut off 2
Wounds from my friends 4
Sword called to strike the shepherd; a third of the land will survive 7

| .1 ¶ In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness. | That day Described at the beginning of the oracle zc1202. Here we see a way of cleansing from sin is to be opened – blood and water from our crucified Lord jn1934. |
| .2
And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I
will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall no
more be remembered: and also I will cause the prophets and the unclean
spirit to pass out of the land.
3 And it shall come to pass, that when any shall yet prophesy, then his father and his mother that begat him shall say unto him, Thou shalt not live; for thou speakest lies in the name of the LORD: and his father and his mother that begat him shall thrust him through when he prophesieth. |
Names
cut off Apparently the people would not call on the false gods.
Thrust him through This is for one hardened in sin – one who had defied the new order prohibiting false prophets. |
| .4
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the prophets shall be ashamed
every one of his vision, when he hath prophesied; neither shall they wear
a rough garment to deceive:
5 But he shall say, I am no prophet, I am an husbandman; for man taught me to keep cattle from my youth. .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. |
5 -
I am a [farmer]. Deception to avoid punishment.
How could the statement about wounded hands be a prophecy about
the coming Messiah jn2025?
He took the penalty for the most wicked sinners lu2237.

¶ 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. |
