What will God do for Israel when He establishes the kingdom in Zechariah 13:1?
Zechariah 13:1 declares that in the day the Lord establishes His kingdom, a fountain will be opened to the house of David and to Jerusalem’s inhabitants for sin and uncleanness. God will cleanse and forgive Israel, bringing her into all the glory of the promised kingdom, though presently she remains in spiritual blindness.
Les explains that Zechariah 13:1 is prophecy looking to the time when the Lord finally sets up His kingdom and Israel has all the promises fulfilled. In that day, a fountain is opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and uncleanness. Les says this means God will cleanse them and forgive them, and they will come into all the glory of the kingdom. He connects this to the blind man washing in the pool of Siloam, illustrating that Israel is presently in spiritual blindness, but God will still fulfill these sign aspects of His dealing with Israel.
In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness.
