>>>And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth. (Zechariah 14:12)<<<

I forgot to mention: your interpretation sounded crazy when I heard John Hagee spout it several months ago, and it still sounds crazy: even scornful.

How do you interpret the highlighted part of this verse?

"And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn." (Zec 12:10 KJV)

So it is crazy to think that "their eyes shall consume away in their holes," and "in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up," sounds like a thermonuclear event, even if by Divine means? Could not God use such?

It is crazy to think it does sound like such, and that God cannot cause it.
