Zechariah 14:1-9
THE DAY OF THE LORD (1)
The
book of
Zechariah 14 is an archetype
of the Gospel according to
St. Matthew
chapter 24 which revealed that The Day of the Lord would be full of
surprises and mixed – feelings. It would be a day of wrath and fierce anger,
and everyone would be judged accordingly
(v.
1; Isa. 13:9; Matt. 24:2). Then, everyone would be gathered under a clarion
call unto Jerusalem and be dealt with in cruelty. It would relay rapture
experiences as there would two divisions where the godly (the saints) would be
called up unto the Lord Jesus
(v. 3-5).
No one would be unaware of this great event
(Matt. 24:23-27). That day, there won’t be light neither would
there be any form of darkness
(v. 6-7;
Acts 2:20). That day would completely and exclusively be handled by the
Lord Jesus
(v.8 & 9; Rev. 11:15).
Beloved,
we will not need the assistance of a chief justice to determine the rightness
or otherwise of an action. Every soul and action will be handled by Jesus alone
who will give to everyone according to his deeds. It is going to be a day of
separation between two different attitudes and lifestyle (Matt. 24:38-43). Only the prepared will not gnash their teeth in
regret. How prepared are you for this great day?
PRAYER: Lord,
help me to remember that whatever I do today will be brought to judgment one
day, and grant me repentant heart where necessary. Amen
