Zechariah devotes a good proportion of his prophecy to this theme and in so doing reveals the divine method of humbling and refining the faithless and ungodly people who now inhabit the land. Briefly, he reveals that: Jerusalem is to become the center of international controversy. Jerusalem is to be trodden down for the last time by the Gentiles. Two-thirds of the population is to be destroyed. The remnant will be morally cleansed and brought into the bonds of the Covenant through baptism into Christ.
