Zacarias 13
Guzik - Our own works at reform or restitution can’t cleanse us; our past, present, or promised works can’t cleanse—only His fountain! (Ed: A corollary message is "Don't TRY to do better (enabled by self)! Instead DIE to be better (enabled by the Spirit)" The first is external and legalistic. The latter is internal and liberating! Be free in Christ!
Zacarias 13
Guzik has an interesting comment - When you see the gaudy and ornate shrines that supposedly mark holy sites in Israel today, you see that idolatry is still alive and well in the Holy Land. God promises to cleanse the land from such idolatry completely.
Zacarias 13
Guzik says "It won’t just be that their address changes, but their heart also." -- Thus says the LORD of hosts, ‘Behold, I am going to save My people from the land of the east and from the land of the west (INDICATES A WORLDWIDE DISPERSION/RESTORATION OF THE JEWS); 8 and I will bring them back and they will live in the midst of Jerusalem; and they shall be My people, and I will be their God in truth and righteousness.’ (Zechariah 8:7-8)
