They will look on me, the one they pierced

Zechariah 12:1-14
The people of Jerusalem are strong, because the Load Almighty is their God.
The nations attack Jerusalem but they are defeated.
The triumph of victory turns to deep mourning for a man they have killed. The overwhelming sense of compassion which leads to his mourning comes from God himself.
The Load will save the dwelling of Judah first, so that the honor of David and of Jerusalem's inhabitants may not be greater than that of Judah.
I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on me, the one they pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child.
Why?
Suggesting that it is God's own representative the people kill.
John's Gospel quotes from this passage, applying Zechariah's words to the death of Christ
Nations against Jerusalem, but will be defeated and hurt by Jerusalem.
Weeping in Hadad Rimmon in the plain of Megiddo-- Mourn for the king Josiah who meet Neco king of Egypt to fight.
All Israelite regret and repent from king (David's home,Nathan), Priest (Levi home, Shimei) and Judah. Clan and wife separate mourn means they are deeply sorrow.
How?
God himself be the representative be pierced, to clean the sin of all people.
God's mighty power and love is great and conquer the sin and evil.
Remember the love of Jesus
