20 And on that day there shall be inscribed on the bells of the horses, “Holy to the Lord.” And the pots in the house of the Lord shall be as the bowls before the altar. 21 And every pot in Jerusalem and Judah shall be holy to the Lord of hosts, so that all who sacrifice may come and take of them and boil the meat of the sacrifice in them. And there shall no longer be a trader in the house of the Lord of hosts on that day. (Zechariah 14)
On That Day... What a phrase. The day when everything is finally made right. Justice will have been served. The wicked will prosper no more. Holiness will prevail. The picture Zechariah paints here is that everything will become sacred in the presence of the Lord. Everything that has been profaned will be made Holy. There will be not hiding - there will not have to be. When I see this last sentence my mind rushes forward to Jesus in the Temple, cleansing all the traders, so there is room in God's house for everyone who wants to be there. On That Day... there will be room for all who trust and worship God; everything will be right and just; all will be holy and whole. We will have more than 10,00o reasons to praise our God.
