Zechariah 12-14, from one prophecy, the general theme of which is the return of the Lord and the establishment of the kingdom. The order is:
(1) The siege of Jerusalem preceding the battle of Armageddon (Zechariah 12:1-3);
(2) the battle itself (Zechariah 12:4-9);
(3) the "latter rain" in the pouring out of the Spirit and the personal revelation of Christ to the family of David and the remnant in Jerusalem, not merely as the glorious Deliverer, but as the One whom Israel pierced and has long rejected (Zechariah 12:10);
(4) the godly sorrow which follows that revelation (Zechariah 12:11-14);
(5) the cleansing fountain (Zechariah 13:1) then to be effectually "opened" to Israel.
