Setting: I like to use the term “awesome” to describe chapter 12, 13, and 14 of Zechariah. It is the headlines of what's going to happen in the Middle East. These last 3 chapters will describe what God is going to do with the nation of Israel in the future.
Vs1: the burden of the word of the Lord for Israel. This word Burden means judgement, or that something bad is going to happen. Before he delivers this burden or judgement, he mentions the glory and power of God. Vs2: after making this statement about the greatness of God, Zechariah uses the word Jerusalem 10 times in this chapter, making it very important. Sometime if the future when Israel is surrounded by enemies, God's going to make Israel a “cup of trembling” to all those enemies. Israel is being surrounded today by enemies. More of the pieces are being put into place each day. Vs3: God gives a warning to the gentiles. If you make Jerusalem your object of destruction, watch out – it will cut you to pieces, even if all the nations of the world converge around Israel and try to destroy them. This is the battle of Armageddon. Vs4: God will destroy any mobile force that comes against Jerusalem. Vs5: the people in Jerusalem will act with very great courage, and others will be impressed. Vs6: all these nations are coming against Jerusalem and Israel, but the way the people fight the battle with courage, they will reign supreme. Vs7: God's going to save the outlying areas of Jerusalem first....
