The
dispensational godfathers reached the obvious
dispensational conclusion.
Zechariah 12:10 is referring to the
dispensational remnant, which can only be the
dispensational remnant of Zechariah 13:9.
Caiaphas et al are the only possible
dispensational fulfillment of Zechariah 12:10.
They are the only ones who pierced Him.
They will be
dispensationally resurrected, along with every other genetic Jew, in that day.
Two thirds of those will be
dispensationally liquidated.
But Caiaphas et al will be among the
dispensational one third remnant present in Zechariah 12:10.
They will receive
dispensational salvation.
We'll
dispensationally see and greet them on the streets of gold.
Darby:
The introduction of Antichrist, a shepherd [See Note #1] in Israel, brings in also the events that crowd around Jerusalem in
the last days. All the nations should be gathered round Jerusalem, but only to find it a burdensome stone that should crush them. God would judge the power of man, but would raise up His people in sovereign grace. He would destroy the nations that had come up against Jerusalem. The deliverance of the people by the power of Jehovah comes first. This is sovereign grace to the chief of sinners-the feeble but beloved Judah, who had added to all her rebellion against God, the despisal and rejection of her King and Saviour.
The grace of God takes the lead over all the resources of man. The audacity of the enemies of God's people stirs up His affection, which never diminishes; and thus, by compelling God to act, this very audacity becomes the means of proving the faithfulness of His love. Judah, guilty yet beloved Judah, is delivered-that is to say,
the remnant, to whom the affliction of Israel had been a burden; but the question of her conduct towards her God still remained.
Scofield:
Zech. 12.-14. from one prophecy the general theme of which is
the return of the Lord and the establishment of the kingdom. The order is:
(1) The siege of Jerusalem preceding
the battle of Armageddon (Zech 12:1-3);
(2) the battle itself (Zech 12:4-9);
(3) the "latter rain" in the pouring out of the Spirit and the personal revelation of Christ to the family of David and
the remnant in Jerusalem, not merely as the glorious Deliverer, but as the One whom Israel pierced and has long rejected (Zech 12:10);
(4) the godly sorrow which follows that revelation (Zech 12:11-14);
(5) the cleansing fountain Zech 13:1 then to be effectually "opened" to Israel.
