Ref. REB,NIV,KJV. Some verses abridged
Note that in verse 16, it is only after His people, Israel have increased and become fruitful in the Land, that the Ark is superseded by the Lords presence in Jerusalem. This proves that the Ark, now hidden, will be found and placed in the rebuilt Temple. Zechariah 6:15, 2 Thess 2:4
Verse 18 states that Israel and Judah will unite and re-enter the Land from the North. Only a remnant of the present Jewish population will remain in the Land after the Day of vengeance, so most of Christian Judah will be those who, at present are living elsewhere. Zechariah 13:8-9
Verse 21 is described in Ezekiel 20:34-38…. I shall bring you out of the peoples…gather you, make you pass under the Rod of judgement and purge you of those who rebel against Me. They will come from where they live, but will not set foot in the Promised Land.
