THE REALITY WILL REPLACE
PROPHECIES OF UNCLEANNESS.

"And it must occur that in case a man should prophesy anymore, his father and his mother, the ones who caused his birth, must also say to him, 'You will not live, because falsehood is what you have spoken in the Name of Jehovah.'"  (From Zech 13:3).

WHY PROPHESYING FALSEHOOD WILL CEASE.
The reason why there will be no false prophesying "anymore" is that Jehovah will remove false prophets and their "spirit of uncleanness" from His spiritual "land". (Zech 13:2 NEB). Only the reality of the fulfilment of holy prophecies of God through His faithful servants will remain. (Joel 2:28,29). What is the reality? The answer is written in Isaiah 65:24: "And it will actually occur that before they call out I Myself shall answer; while they are yet speaking, I Myself shall hear." How wonderful! Our God knows what they are about to ask Him before they call on Him concerning important matters. "While they are yet speaking" implies while they are talking about a matter of concern. Further, they will convey the answer as directed by Jehovah through His Christ. This will be the reality. No longer will there be a "pattern" representing future heavenly things.  (See Heb 8:5).

Mankind has been eagerly awaiting the benefits of such a reality. However, only descendants of the chosen ones of Jehovah will be recipients of such privileges. (Isaiah 65:23,24). When will this occur? Read Isaiah 65:17-25 for the answer. At the time of writing, the prophecy of Isaiah 65:17-25 has not as yet been fulfilled. For there is still heard the sound of weeping and cries for help among God's beloved people, and former distresses are still being called to mind. But God is creating new heavens and a new earth and in these righteousness is to dwell. (Isaiah 65:16,17). (2 Peter 3:13).

Refusing to believe that The Christ is the Messiah and has already come in the flesh is still a cause of "stumbling" for natural born Jews. (1 Peter 2:7,8). And so among them there will be grief and lamentation because they still 'pierce' The Christ by their refusal to accept his authority and Spirit of discipline. The house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem will receive from Jehovah a Spirit of "favour and entreaties" and will lament bitterly over their rejection of The Christ the Firstborn Son of God. (See Zech 12:10 and Page 874). The Lord goes on to say: "In that day there will come to be a well opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for an abhorrent thing." (Zech 13:1). Is there still sin among the house of David? Is the "abhorrent thing" of rejecting The Christ's sacrifice still evident among the house of David? The answer to both questions is: Yes. Not only do their shameful sins still exist, but so do false prophets and the "spirit of uncleanness" in the spiritual "land" of God!  But "in that day" Jehovah will cut off the names of their "idols" and remove false prophets out of His spiritual "land".  (Zech 13:1,2 NEB).

THE DESTINY OF NATURAL BORN JEWS.
The Jews were once the chosen people of God, but this privilege was taken from them and "given to a nation producing its fruits." (Matt 21:43. Deut 7:6). The inhabitants of this "land" today are spiritual "Jews", just as it is written: "For he is not a Jew who is one on the outside, nor is circumcision that which is on the outside upon the flesh. But he is a Jew who is one on the inside, and his circumcision is that of the heart by Spirit, and not by a written code. The praise of that one comes, not from men, but from God." (Rom 2:28,29). And as this holy "seed" of God is gathered from all nations, it signifies that natural born Jews are not destined to be the sole holy nation of God on earth. The Jews have been stumbling over the "stone of stumbling" that is our Lord Jesus Christ.  (1 Peter 2:7,8).

"For... a dulling of sensibilities has happened in part to Israel until the full number of people of the nations has come in, and in this manner all Israel will be saved. Just as it is written: "The deliverer will come out of Zion and turn away unGodly practices from Jacob. And this is the covenant on My part with them, when I take their sins away." True, with reference to the good news they are enemies for your sakes, but with reference to God's choosing they are beloved for the sake of their forefathers."  (From Rom 11:25-28).
