Zechariah 9 16-10 1

Z’Kharyah 9 16 – 10 1

The Lord their God will save them in that day,
As the flock of His people.
For they shall be like the jewels of a crown,
Lifted like a banner over His land
For how great is its goodness
And how great its beauty!
Grain shall make the young men thrive,
And new wine the young women.
Ask the Lord for rain
In the time of the latter rain.
The Lord will make flashing clouds;
He will give them showers of rain,
Grass in the field for everyone.
NKJV

Devotional

Abundant prosperity, such as the world has never seen, results in excessive rejoicing and praise results from God “saving” His people, Israel.

In light of the promised blessings of 9:17, the prophet encourages the people to request these blessings from the Lord, with confidence. There will be literal rain and latter rain in the kingdom making the land flourish, but the promise here extends to refer to spiritual blessings. The “latter rain” of spiritual grace and goodness from God will bring refreshment to people’s souls.
