ZECHARIAH - IT IS LIKE READING THE HEADLINES FOR THE NEXT FEW MONTHS

Here is the Chapter Summary for Chapters 9-14:

2. Events preceding the Lord’s Second Coming. (a) Zech. 9–11. An invasion from the north sweeps over Damascus, Tyre, and the Philistines; the last are incorporated in Israel (9:1–7). Zion is saved; her King comes to her righteous and victorious, meek, and a prince of peace (9:8–10). Her captives are restored, and Judah and Ephraim, miraculously strengthened of God, are victorious over the Greeks and shall no more seek to diviners, but to the Lord (9:11–10:2). (b) A similar theme. Good shepherds displace the evil ones; Judah miraculously strengthened, with Ephraim fully restored, shall humble the pride of Assyria and Egypt (10:3–12). (c) Invasion of Lebanon and the Jordan-land (11:1–3). The prophet is commissioned to feed the flock destined for slaughter (11:4–8); renounces the thankless task (11:9–14); the flock falls into the hands of an evil shepherd (11:15–17). (d) Zech. 12–14. Final war of the nations against Jerusalem, and their defeat (12:1–9). (e) The Spirit poured out on Jerusalem, and a fountain opened for sin and uncleanness (12:10–13:6). (f) Zech. 14 appears to be a duplicate of Zech. 12, with the difference that Jerusalem falls for a time into the hands of the nations before the Lord appears for her salvation.

 Please note that the forces from the north is about to sweep over Damascus.....
