REALITIES WILL ALSO REPLACE
PROPHECIES OF UNCLEANNESS.

"And it must occur [that] in case a man should prophesy any more, 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.'" (Zech 13:3).

WHEN AND WHY PROPHESYING CEASED.
The answer as to why there will be no prophesying "any more" is that God has terminated His inspiration of prophets to foretell future events, and that only fulfilments (realities) remain. (Heb 8:5. 10:1). This being the case, what, we may ask, will be the reality that replaces prophetic utterances from God through His servants on earth? The answer is already written in Isaiah 65:24, which says: "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 even knows what we are about to ask Him before we "call" on Him concerning matters of importance. "While they are yet speaking" implies while they are talking about a matter of concern. Further, we will be speaking the answer directly from God, which is the reality of God speaking through us; no longer a 'pattern' representing heavenly things of the future.

Mankind has been eagerly awaiting the reality of such benefits. However, only descendants of 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 this time of writing, the prophecy of Isaiah 65:17-25 has not as yet been fulfilled. For there is still the sound of weeping from God's people, and former things are still being called to mind. But God is creating new heavens and a new earth, and in these righteousness is to dwell. (Isaiah 65:17. 2 Peter 3:13).

Rejecting The Christ as having already come in the flesh on earth is still "stumbling" the Jews. Lamentations of grief will result among natural born Jews because of still "piercing" Christ by their non-acceptance of his humbling spirit of discipline. Jewish inhabitants of literal Jerusalem are soon to receive a spirit of favour and entreaties, resulting in bitter lamentations over their rejection of The Christ as the Firstborn Son of God. (See Page 874). The Lord goes on to say to Zechariah: "In that day there will come to be a well opened to the house of David and to inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for an abhorrent thing". Has this "well" been opened?  Is there still sin in the house of David? Is the abhorrent thing of rejecting Christ's sacrifice still evident among the house of David? The answer to these questions is yes. Their shameful sins still exist!  As do their prophets of uncleanness!  But we are "in that day" of Zechariah 13:1, awaiting the downpour upon "Ahab"-type sons of disobedience among Jews, to cut off their names (idols) out of the spiritual "land" of David's house. (Zech 13:2).

THE DESTINY OF NATURAL BORN JEWS.
The Jews were once the chosen people of God (Deut 7:6), but this privilege was "given to a nation producing its fruits". (Matt 21:43). 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 one holy nation of God on earth. For the Jews have been stumbling over the "stone of stumbling": 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." (Rom 11:25-28).
