(Today’s Lesson is late posting due to some technical problems with the Internet Service, due to the motel’s wireless equipment.  But it has been resolved now, obviously!)

Zechariah chapter 14 is amazing!

Its last two verses are our “Focus” today.

“In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD; and the pots in the LORD’S house shall be like the bowls before the altar. Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the LORD of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of the LORD of hosts.” Zechariah 14:20-21

With King Jesus on the Throne, with His Purity and Power radiating throughout the whole earth … it seems everything will be impacted, for the good!

“In that day,” I believe the Phrase means during the Kingdom Rule of Christ, the Millennium, those thousand wonderful years.

“There shall be upon the bells of the horses, HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD.” This is astounding!

I do remember that the High Priest’s Mitre (Cap) has that emboldened on its crown … “And they made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote upon it a writing, like to the engravings of a signet, HOLINESS TO THE LORD.” Exodus 39:30 … but that’s for the High Priest!

Certainly not for horses! That would have been extreme blasphemy in Moses’ Day!

But in the Millennium, with the Glorified Jesus on the Throne … even the horses can (and will) wear “Holiness Unto The Lord!” All nature will have been redeemed, it seems! Remember Paul in Romans 8:22-23 … “For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now; waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption” … which comes through Jesus and Jesus only!

Wow!

Plus … even the cooking pots in the kitchen will be like the pots in the Temple, clean and dedicated and pure! “And the pots in the LORD’S house shall be like the bowls before the altar.”

Jesus is one Powerful, Influential Ruler!

Plus, in that day … there will be no more “Canaanite” in God’s House! No filthy foreigner, no unbeliever! No idolater! (Recall that Jesus cleansed the Temple once, and maybe twice, in His earthy Ministry the first time He came!)

Pristine Purity!

And now we have come to the end of Zechariah …with these “horse” and “pot” verses! How unusual!

Now … one more Lesson on the Millennium.

Tomorrow morning, the Lord willing.
