Repeating Sentences or Themes in the Text
​

• Stop and pray. 
• Ask God to open your heart to hear what He is calling you to take away from your time together this day.
• Take the time to read this passage one time.
• Do you find that there are repeating sentences or themes in the text.
• If so, underline each of the repetitions. 
• In the Bible we know that if themes/words are repeated they are done so for emphasis.
• So, ponder the repetitions and ask God to reveal to you why he would have them repeat.
• Is there a theme that comes from these representations? What might they emphasize?
• This might not come to you all at once. It might not even come to you today.
• But, if you ask God to reveal this to you, He will give you an answer. 
• I have even waited as much as years for revelation. But oh when it has been revealed - celebration occurs.
• Be sure to thank God for meeting with you today.

1. "On that day a fountain will be opened for the dynasty of David and for the people of Jerusalem, a fountain to cleanse them from all their sins and impurity.
2. "And on that day," says the LORD of Heaven's Armies, "I will erase idol worship throughout the land, so that even the names of the idols will be forgotten. I will remove from the land both the false prophets and the spirit of impurity that came with them.
3. If anyone continues to prophesy, his own father and mother will tell him, ' You must die, for you have prophesied lies in the name of the LORD.' And as he prophesies, his own father and mother will stab him.

4. "On that day people will be ashamed to claim the prophetic gift. No one will pretend to be a prophet by wearing prophet's clothes.
5. He will say, 'I'm no prophet; I'm a farmer. I began working for a farmer as a boy.' 
6. And if someone  asks, ' Then what about those wounds on your chest?' he will say, ' I was wounded at my friends' house!'
Zechariah 13:1-6 NLT
