Joe is Catholic; so he's ok with Jesus (after a few Hail Marys...).
Four score and seven years ago...
Here is how it translates from Hebrew: Zechariah 10: And I will pour out upon the house of David and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplications. And they shall look to me because of those who have been thrust through [with swords], and they shall mourn over it as one mourns over an only son and shall be in bitterness, therefore, as one is embittered over a firstborn son. 11 On that day there shall be great mourning in Jerusalem, like the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the Valley of Megiddon.
Hadadrimmon is in connection with the Lamentations of Jeremiah 9:19, as suggested in the Moed Katan 28b of the Talmud - Indeed hear, O women, the word of the Lord, and let your ear receive the word of His mouth; teach your daughters a lamentation, and each to her neighbor a dirge. יטכִּֽי־שְׁמַ֚עְנָה נָשִׁים֙ דְּבַר־יְהֹוָ֔ה וְתִקַּ֥ח אָזְנְכֶ֖ם דְּבַר־פִּ֑יו וְלַמֵּ֚דְנָה בְנֽוֹתֵיכֶם֙ נֶ֔הִי וְאִשָּׁ֥ה רְעוּתָ֖הּ קִינָֽה:
20For death has penetrated our windows, it has entered our palaces; to cut off the infants from the streets, and the young men from the squares. ככִּי־עָ֚לָה מָ֙וֶת֙ בְּחַלּוֹנֵ֔ינוּ בָּ֖א בְּאַרְמְנוֹתֵ֑ינוּ לְהַכְרִ֚ית עוֹלָל֙ מִח֔וּץ בַּֽחוּרִ֖ים מֵֽרְחֹבֽוֹת:
21Speak; Thus says the Lord: Indeed, the carcasses of men shall fall like dung on the open field, and like sheaves after the reaper, with none to gather them!
So, in Hebrew, Zechariah 12:10 translates thusly:
“And I will pour out upon the house of David and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplications. And they shall look to me because of those who have been thrust through [with swords], and they shall mourn over it as one mourns over an only son and shall be in bitterness, therefore, as one is embittered over a firstborn son.’ יוְשָׁפַכְתִּי֩ עַל־בֵּ֨ית דָּוִ֜יד וְעַ֣ל | יוֹשֵׁ֣ב יְרֽוּשָׁלַ֗םִ ר֚וּחַ חֵן֙ וְתַ֣חֲנוּנִ֔ים וְהִבִּ֥יטוּ אֵלַ֖י אֵ֣ת אֲשֶׁר־דָּקָ֑רוּ וְסָֽפְד֣וּ עָלָ֗יו כְּמִסְפֵּד֙ עַל־הַיָּחִ֔יד וְהָמֵ֥ר עָלָ֖יו כְּהָמֵ֥ר עַֽל־הַבְּכֽוֹר: An alternate translation is that Zechariah is referring to the destruction Jerusalem, whom God loved like a first born son, which is tied to Jeremiah Lamentations so that the Jews would understand the depth of the loss. I am not sure what translation you used, but there are many that vary. Obviously, I had the same interests in understanding the context of what Zechariah was teaching us and thought you might enjoy this research.
I forgot to quote my sources. It is from Chabad.org I attend classes with them and they are an excellent source for Hebrew translations. I also recommend Israel365 Bible if you want to understand from the original writings. https://theisraelbible.com/
There have been so many versions of the Bible, with so many being just wrong, that I needed to go back to the original to understand what was written and why. It was necessary to do this for my research on many Excavations in Israel.
My first thought too was the Jews have had too many “Come to Jesus” moments throughout history. For instance, Romans in the 4th Century to the present, The Inquisition, The Russian Pogroms, the Holocaust, and even modern day. And this moron thinks he is going to tell Netanyahu anything? It takes zero knowledge to be a loudmouth. The less knowledge, the louder they get. The difference between now and the last 2000 years of history is that the Jews are well armed now and fight back.
What a dope. Sheesh.
Biden always lies. People are always saying that Biden won the debates with Trump, but he lied his way through them. Every time Trump would point out some idiotic thing that pedo Joe said, Biden would laugh and say that’s a lie, I never said that. And yet it was all on tape, and no one even tried to fact check him. Because he won,you see, and don’t anyone ever deny it!
Wow, is that for real?
If it is, it needs to go viral!
Worst job in Biden’s administration:
DIAPER DUTY.
We need to hear the tape!
