Thus saith the LORD of Hosts; It shall yet come to pass, that there shall come people, and the inhabitants of many cities: And the inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, Let us go speedily to pray before the LORD, and to seek the LORD of Hosts: I will go also. Yea, many people and strong nations shall come to seek the LORD of Hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the LORD. (Zechariah 8:20-22)
While this prophecy about worship in Jerusalem has not yet come to pass, Jerusalem is still the center of GOD's attention to Israel. The future capital of Israel and the world will one day be the very throne of GOD on this earth. When Jesus Christ sets up His earthly Kingdom, He will be worshiped in His temple in Jerusalem, and as this passage relates all nations and peoples will come there to seek the Lord. All will seek Him there, to pray, to worship, to know Him whom they have pierced.
This is a future prophecy of a time yet to come when Jesus establishes His earthly millennial reign. Today, He desires to have a relationship with us by faith. Faith in Him as GOD, and Christ. Faith in His finished work on the cross for our sIn. And Faith in His promises to work in and through us to accomplish His good pleasure. He calls everyone everywhere to repent, to surrender to GOD on His terms, for those that do not know Him are at war with Him. There is no neutral, there is no middle ground. Since those that are not yet born again, are separated from GOD, deciding not to decide is a decision against the salvation that only comes from GOD Himself. Money won't buy it. Religion won't secure it. And our righteousness and works won't earn it.
Only GOD and our Faith in Him will afford us the new birth that will give us life, life eternal and abundant, in this life and in the next. Receive it today, while there is still time.
And if you already have His free gift of life, share His mercy and love with those around you, that they might know Him.
In Christ,
