Zech 14:20-21: On that dayHOLY TO THE LORD will be inscribed on the bells of the horses, and the cooking pots in the LORD’s house will be like the sacred bowls in front of the altar. Every pot in Jerusalem and Judah will be holy to the LORD Almighty, and all who come to sacrifice will take some of the pots and cook in them. And on that day there will no longer be a Canaanite in the house of the LORD Almighty.   Leave a comment

The antithesis of sacrilege is holiness, and an outcome of holiness is the Kingdom of God, the community of covenant man. Zechariah gives us a vision of this estate of man. Instead of the sacrilege of the Canaanites (the ungodly) in the house of the Lord, all things reveal their devotion to God. Every cooking vessel, the sacred vessels of the temple, because men will serve God and will dedicate every aspect pf their lives and possessions to Him. In place of the sacrilege, there will be universal holiness. Instead of a division between the holy place and the unclean, all things shall be “holiness” unto the Lord. T.V. Moore wrote: All shall be happy because all shall be holy. Sorrow shall cease because sin shall cease. The groaning earth shall be mantled with joy because the trail of the serpent will be gone, and Eden of the future shall make us cease to look back with longing at the Eden of the past.
