Prophecy Journey
Did You Know?
Zechariah 12:10 says the people will look on the one they have pierced and mourn for him as for an only son.
This was fulfilled literally when a Roman soldier pierced Jesus' side with a spear after His death (John 19:34-37).
The same passage describes national mourning in Jerusalem, which many see as pointing to a future recognition by Israel.
