Zechariah 10:5
Context
5“They will be as mighty men,
         Treading down the enemy in the mire of the streets in battle;
         And they will fight, for the LORD will be with them;
         And the riders on horses will be put to shame.

6“I will strengthen the house of Judah,
         And I will save the house of Joseph,
         And I will bring them back,
         Because I have had compassion on them;
         And they will be as though I had not rejected them,
         For I am the LORD their God and I will answer them.

7“Ephraim will be like a mighty man,
         And their heart will be glad as if from wine;
         Indeed, their children will see it and be glad,
         Their heart will rejoice in the LORD.

8“I will whistle for them to gather them together,
         For I have redeemed them;
         And they will be as numerous as they were before.

9“When I scatter them among the peoples,
         They will remember Me in far countries,
         And they with their children will live and come back.

10“I will bring them back from the land of Egypt
         And gather them from Assyria;
         And I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon
         Until no room can be found for them.

11“And they will pass through the sea of distress
         And He will strike the waves in the sea,
         So that all the depths of the Nile will dry up;
         And the pride of Assyria will be brought down
         And the scepter of Egypt will depart.

12“And I will strengthen them in the LORD,
         And in His name they will walk,” declares the LORD.

"And we Will --"
The prophet Micah was struck with the energy and devotion of the heathen to their gods. He saw the grip these idols had of their votaries, how no expense was spared, no sacrifice withheld, for the sake of a filthy lie embodied in a stone or golden image. While he listened to the songs of the heathen, his heart warmed as he thought of the greatness of Jehovah, and so he cried out--"All people will walk every one in the name of his God, and we will walk in the name of the Lord our God for ever and

When Christ gave His disciples the promise of the Spirit, He was nearing the close of His earthly ministry. He was standing in the shadow of the cross, with a full realization of the load of guilt that was to rest upon Him as the Sin Bearer. Before offering Himself as the sacrificial victim, He instructed His disciples regarding a most essential and complete gift which He was to bestow upon His followers--the gift that would bring within their reach the boundless resources of His grace. "I will pray

CHAPTERS I-VIII Two months after Haggai had delivered his first address to the people in 520 B.C., and a little over a month after the building of the temple had begun (Hag. i. 15), Zechariah appeared with another message of encouragement.
