And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and pleas for mercy, so that, when they look on me, on him whom they have pierced, they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for an only child, and weep bitterly over him, as one weeps over a firstborn… The Lord shall be King over all the earth; in that day shall there be one Lord, and His name one.” Zechariah 8:3,22, 12:9,10, 14:9
