170 JESUS IS COMING.

"Thus saith the Lord of hosts; it shall yet come tc pass,
f^at there shall come people, and the inhabitants of many
c;t!ea. 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 also go. Yea, MANY PEOPLE
and STRONG NATIONS shall come to seek the Lord of hosts
in Jerusalem, and to pray before the Lord. Thus saith the
Lord of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten
men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations,
even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew,
saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that God
Is with you." Zech. 8:20-23.
"And it shall come to pass, THAT EVERY ONE THAT is LEFT
OF ALL THE NATIONS which came against Jerusalem, shall
even go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord
of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles." Zech. 14:16.
In the first Restoration, because of their blindness, and
hard, stony hearts, they rejected and killed Jesus. But in
the future Restoration they shall REPENT of all this, and
have CLEAN HEARTS, and ACCEPT OF CHRIST, who will be their
King.
Look Upon Me.
"And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the
inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of suppli-
cations; and they shall look upon me whom they have
PIERCED, AND THEY SHALL MOURN FOR HIM, AS ONE MOURN-
ETH FOR HIS ONLY SON, AND SHALL BE IN BITTERNESS FOR
HIM, AS ONE THAT IS IN BITTERNESS FOR HIS FIRST-BORN.
In that day there shall be a great mourning in Jerusalem,
as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megid-
don. And the land shall mourn, every family apart; the
family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart;
the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives
apart; the family of the house. of Levi apart, and their
wives apart; the family of Shimei apart, and their wives
apart; all the families that remain, every family apart, and
their wives apart." Zech. 12:10-14.
"They shall .come with weeping and with supplications
will I lead them; I will cause them to walk by the rivers
of waters in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble:
for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my first-born.
Hear the word of the Lord, O ye nations, and declare it in
the isles afar off, and say, He that scattereth Israel will
g-ather him. and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock.
But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the
house of Israel; after those days, saith the Lord, I will put
my law in their INWARD PARTS, AND WRITE IT IN THEIR
HEARTS; and will be their God, and they shall be my peo-
r>le." Jer. 31:9, 10, 33.
