Zechariah 12:1, 8-10 1 The burden of the word of the Lord against Israel. Thus says the Lord, who stretches out the heavens, lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the spirit of man within him: 8 ...and the house of David shall be like God, like the Angel of the Lord before them. 9 It shall be in that day that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. 10 “And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will look on Me whom they pierced. Yes, they will mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son, and grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn.
God's character begins with His work, creating both the universe and man in it. And so He made His Son to also have a nature as ours, out of the lineage of David who also is the Angel of the Lord - the Anointed (Messiah, Christ). His grace and Spirit are now poured into us who have looked on the crucified Christ and wept for His death that was rightfully ours due to our sin. So we follow Him who goes before us now.
