The Pierced One Will Reign
Zechariah 12:10
Zechariah 12:10 is a significant prophetic element in the context of Messianic anticipation. The Spirit of God articulates not only Israel's forthcoming salvation but also the acknowledgment of the Messiah they previously repudiated — “the one whom they have pierced.” This piercing is both literal and metaphorical, alluding to the crucifixion of Yeshua (Jesus), the suffering Servant of Isaiah 53, and the profound injury to the covenant connection.
This passage captures the divine paradox: the rejected Messiah becomes the revealed Messiah. God bestows a spirit – not of condemnation, but of grace and entreaty. This is the Spirit that rouses the heart to repentance, enabling Israel to perceive Yeshua not as a blasphemer, but as the promised One, the Son of David, and the slain Lamb.
Observe the emotional reaction: grief akin to that experienced for an only offspring. This is profound, covenantal pain rather than superficial remorse – the anguish arising from love and revelation. It signifies the instant when the veil is removed from the eyes of Israel, and the authentic identity of the Messiah is acknowledged.
This theologically anticipates Romans 11:26, in which Paul asserts, “And in this way all Israel will be saved.” This national acknowledgment of the Messiah will be the pinnacle of redemptive history. The reviled One, before derided, shall be exalted as Sovereign.
* Messianic Fulfillment – Zechariah foretells the crucifixion centuries before to Golgotha.
* Spiritual Awakening – The outpouring of the Spirit yields revelation rather than wrath.
* National Repentance – Israel's lamentation signifies a prophetic return to the Messiah.
* Divine Reversal – The One who was rejected transforms into the source of deliverance.
* Theology of the Pierced – The suffering of the Messiah is fundamental to His grandeur.
Conclusion: The Messianic promise in Zechariah 12:10 signifies that God's work with Israel is ongoing, encompassing a national revival and the acknowledgment of Yeshua as the Messiah. Let us pray for the day when hearts throughout Israel – and the countries — will gaze at the Pierced One and weep not in despair, but in transformative grace. The One who was pierced will govern.
