Publisher's Description
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 God's self-revelation in Jesus provides the key for understanding the fulfillment of Zech 12:10 in light of both John's high Christology and John's 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 John's writings, and how Jesus' divine nature and mission compels the church to live between his two advents.

“With careful exegesis and a focused hermeneutical method, Rogers makes a substantive contribution to the study of Zechariah’s prophecy, John’s Gospel, and the Revelation. Focusing on the divine identity of the Messiah, Rogers delineates several cogent and compelling implications for a theology of the cross and the eschatological return of Jesus. This volume will help readers look upon the Pierced One themselves and respond with deeper textual understanding.”
