The context of <a href="/zechariah/12.htm">Zechariah 12</a> is a prophecy concerning the future deliverance and spiritual renewal of Jerusalem and the house of David. The mourning is a response to the recognition of the one "whom they have pierced," which many interpret as a messianic prophecy pointing to Jesus Christ.<br><br>The mention of "all the remaining clans" suggests a comprehensive participation in this mourning, indicating that it is not limited to a specific group but extends to all families within the community. This inclusivity reflects the communal nature of repentance and spiritual awakening, which is a recurring theme in the prophetic literature of the Old Testament.<br><br>The reference to "their wives" highlights the family unit's involvement in this act of mourning. In ancient Israelite culture, family and clan structures were central to social and religious life. The inclusion of wives signifies the depth and sincerity of the communal repentance, as it involves every member of the household.<br><br>This phrase also connects to the broader biblical theme of collective responsibility and redemption. Similar themes are found in passages like <a href="/joel/2-12.htm">Joel 2:12-17</a>, where the entire community is called to repentance. The mourning in <a href="/zechariah/12-14.htm">Zechariah 12:14</a> can be seen as a precursor to the ultimate redemption and restoration promised in the messianic age.<br><br>In terms of prophecy, this passage is often linked to the eschatological hope found in <a href="/revelation/1-7.htm">Revelation 1:7</a>, where it is said that every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him, and all peoples on earth will mourn because of Him. This connection underscores the universal scope of God's redemptive plan and the recognition of Christ as the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/h/house_of_nathan.htm">House of Nathan</a></b><br>This refers to the descendants of Nathan, a son of King David.
