Zechariah 12: 3, 10-11 Jerusalem will be a weighty stone:

"It will come about in that day that I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples; all who lift it will be severely injured. All the nations of the earth will be gathered against it. And in that day I will set about to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. I will pour out on the house of David the spirit of grace and supplication, so that they will look on me whom they have pierced; and they will mourn for him, as one mourns for an only son, and they will weep bitterly over him like the bitter weeping over a firstborn."

These verses refer to a contemporary future where there will be battle over the Holy Land. God has given Palestine the Promised Land, and though many will seek to take it from her, God will be faithful according to his covenant. In the latter days, Jews will have spiritual darkness and hardened lifted and they will weep over having crucified their King.

Daily Prayer: Holy father, we look for the imminent return of the rightful king. In that day, all things will be made right, and all who have persevered for our Savior will see their reward. In Jesus name I pray Amen.
