Jesus as the Pierced One: The Use of Zechariah 12:10 in John's Gospel and Revelation (McMaster Biblical Studies)

How can John use Zech 12:10 to explain both Jesus first coming in humility (John 19:37) and Jesus second coming in glory (Rev 1:7)? In this book Rogers demonstrates how Gods self-revelation in Jesus provides the key for understanding the fulfillment of Zech 12:10 in light of both Johns high Christology and Johns inaugurated and consummated eschatology. In contrast to previous approaches Rogers proposes that John interprets Zech 12:10 not simply along a human messianic axiom but along a divine messianic axiom. Moreover by treating Zech 12:10 John 19:37 and Rev 1:7 in a single study readers will better understand the unified narrative spanning the Testaments the nature of Jesus divine identity and mission in Johns writings and how Jesus divine nature and mission compels the church to live between his two advents.
