You said NO piercing going on in that verse - referring to Zechariah 12:10 correct?
The word Daqar is #1856 in strong's concordance. It says - a primitive root : to stab; figuratively to revile: pierce, strike (thrust) through, wound
So it doesn't just mean what you said. It can mean to pierce.
In reality it means to revile, or wound. YHVH is speaking, and if you read back you will see that his people going bad reviled, or wounded him.
Zec 12:10
And I (YHVH) will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications:
and they shall look upon me (YHVH)whom they have reviled,
and they shall mourn for him,(King David) as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness
for his firstborn. (Psa 89:27)
I've already shown it says this about David.
Psa 89:20
I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him:
Psa 89:26
He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.
Psa 89:27
Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth.
The "I" that they reviled was YHVH. The "HIM" they mourn for is David and those glory days of faithful people.
You said the me in Zechariah 12:10 is King David - correct? How is it King David in this prophecy when he was long dead before this was prophesied.?
(David lived around 1040BC to 970BC. Zechariah prophesied around 520BC.)
Read the whole book, and the whole verse, and the verses leading up to it. It calls
to memory David and the House of David. Zechariah talks about the return of the people from their captivity, - which we are told is because they went bad and reviled YHVH.
Zec 7:7 Should ye not
hear the words which YHVH hath cried by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity, and the cities thereof round about her, when
men inhabited the south and the plain?
Zec 7:12
Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which YHVH of hosts hath sent in his spirit by the former prophets:
therefore came a great wrath from YHVH of hosts.
Zec 7:13 Therefore it is come to pass,
that as he cried, and they would not hear; so they cried, and I would not hear, saith YHVH of hosts:
Zec 7:14
But I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations whom they knew not. Thus the land was desolate after them, that no man passed through nor returned: for they laid the pleasant land desolate.
Zec 8:13 And it shall come to pass,
that as
ye were a curse among the heathen, O house of Judah, and house of Israel;
so will I save you, and ye shall be a blessing: fear not,
but let your hands be strong.
Zec 8:14 For thus saith YHVH of hosts; As I thought to punish you,
when your fathers provoked me to wrath, saith the LORD of hosts, and I repented not:
Zec 9:9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he
is just, and having salvation; lowly,
and riding upon an ***, and upon a colt the foal of an ***.
Kings like Solomon and Joshua rode on an *** because King David did. (1 Kgs 1:33-44).
1Ki 1:38 So Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, went down, and caused
Solomon to ride upon king David's mule, and brought him to Gihon.
1Ki 1:39 And Zadok the priest took an horn of oil out of the tabernacle,
and anointed Solomon. And they blew the trumpet; and all the people said,
God save king Solomon.
Zec 12:8 In that day shall YHVH defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them
at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the LORD before them.
Zec 12:10
And I (YHVH) will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications:
and they shall look upon me (YHVH)whom they have reviled,
and they shall mourn for him,(King David) as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness
for his firstborn. (Psa 89:27)
Psalm 89:27 has YHVH calling David his first born.
And by the way. It tells us who the BRANCH is, - and it isn't a future Jesus.
Zec 6:10
Take of them of the captivity,
even of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah, which are come from Babylon, and come thou the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah;
Zec 6:11 Then take silver and gold, and
make crowns, and set them upon the head of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest;
Zec 6:12 And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh YHVH of hosts, saying,
Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of YHVH:
Zec 6:13 Even
he shall build the temple of YHVH; and he
shall bear the glory, and shall
sit and rule upon his throne; and
he shall be a priest upon his throne: and
the counsel of peace shall be between them both.
