Those of Ephraim shall be like a mighty man, And their heart shall rejoice as if with wine. Yes, their children shall see it and be glad; Their heart shall rejoice in the LORD. I will whistle for them and gather them, For I will redeem them; And they shall increase as they once increased. Zechariah 10:7-8
Epharaim is another name for Israel, Israel shall be like mighty men and their heart rejoices as if with wine. One of the signs or symbols of the Messiah comings is an abundance of wine. This is why it was very fitting that Jesus first miracle was changing the water into wine (John 2) This was not only a sign of His deity , but was a clear sign of Jesus being the Messiah, and preparing for the Great Wedding Feast of The Lamb (Revelation 19)
The Prophet Isaiah says this about the coming Messiah
And in this mountain The LORD of hosts will make for all people A feast of choice pieces, A feast of wines on the lees, Of fat things full of marrow, Of well-refined wines on the lees. And He will destroy on this mountain The surface of the covering cast over all people, And the veil that is spread over all nations. He will swallow up death forever, And the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from all faces; The rebuke of His people He will take away from all the earth; For the LORD has spoken. Isaiah 25:6-8
God said “I will redeem them” by the prophet Zechariah, the God said “I will swallow up death forever” by the prophet Isaiah, this is all about the coming of Jesus Christ, who brings salvation to the world
“I will sow them among the peoples, And they shall remember Me in far countries; They shall live, together with their children, And they shall return. I will also bring them back from the land of Egypt, And gather them from Assyria. I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon, Until no more room is found for them. Zechariah 10:9-10
We have the prophecy of the “scattering of the Jews” across the entire world , as it states “in far countries” However God promises “They shall return” God promises to restore the nation of Israel, and they will rule and reign with Messiah, when Jesus returns during the Millennial Reign (Revelation 20:4-6)
Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years. Revelation 20:6
He shall pass through the sea with affliction, And strike the waves of the sea: All the depths of the River shall dry up. Then the pride of Assyria shall be brought down, And the scepter of Egypt shall depart. “So I will strengthen them in the LORD, And they shall walk up and down in His name,” Says the LORD. Zechariah 10:11-12
Just as God delivered Israel from Egypt by parting the Red Sea, God will make a way for the restoration of Israel once again. No nation or anything shall stand in the way of Israel being restored as a nation and coming to their Messiah Jesus
Notice the prophet declares “they shall walk up and down in His name” what name? The name about all names (Philippians 2) the only name which you can be saved (Acts 4:12) Jesus
And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come out of Zion, And He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob; Romans 11:26
