Zechariah 13:1
Evangelical Predictions; The Destruction of False ProphetsThis section shows how Jesus, the Lamb of God, takes away the sin of the world and the church. The Son of God came to remove our sins (He appeared to take away sins (1 John 3:5 a)). Here, the prophecy describes how God will both forgive sin and remove idolatry and false teaching from among his people.v. 1: In the gospel age, God opens a fountain for the house of David and the people of Jerusalem to wash away sin and uncleanness . This fountain is Jesus’ sacrifice. By his blood, those who are sorry for their sins can be forgiven and cleansed (The blood of Christ cleanses us from all sin (1 John 1:7 b)). Everyone is made unclean by sin, but this fountain is open to all who believe, both great and small. Through faith in Jesus, we are washed and made new (1 Corinthians 6:11; Revelation 1:5-6 c).
