Zechariah 13

1 In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness.

2 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall no more be remembered: and also I will cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to pass out of the land.

3 And it shall come to pass, that when any shall yet prophesy, then his father and his mother that begat him shall say to him, Thou shalt not live; for thou speakest lies in the name of the LORD: and his father and his mother that begat him shall thrust him through when he prophesieth.

4 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the prophets shall be ashamed every one of his vision, when he hath prophesied; neither shall they wear a rough garment to deceive:

5 But he shall say, I am no prophet, I am a husbandman; for man taught me to keep cattle from my youth.

6 And one shall say to him, What are these wounds in thy hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.

7 Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, saith the LORD of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn my hand upon the little ones.

8 And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein.

9 And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people; and they shall say, The LORD is my God.

Remember

  

'Remembering' denotes conjunction because the remembrance of anyone in the other life joins them together, because as soon as any spirit remembers another, he is brought so close that they can talk together. This is how angels and spirits can meet with anyone they have known, and anyone they have heard of, can see them present, and talk with them, when the Lord allows them 'to remember' them.

In Genesis 41:9, this signifies conjunction.

5229. 'I remember my sins today' means regarding a state of separation. This is clear from the meaning of 'sins' as the faults that belong to an inversion of true order, dealt with in 5076, and from the meaning of 'remembering' as a joining together, dealt with in 5169, so that 'remembering one's sins' means becoming attached to those faults that belong to an inversion of order, and as a consequence becoming separated from the natural represented by 'Pharaoh'. For that which is attached to the faults present in inverted order is separated from what constitutes true order. The reason 'remembering' means a joining together is that in the next life the remembrance of a person links one up with him. For as soon as any spirit calls another spirit to mind, the latter becomes present with him, so fully that the two can converse with each other. This explains why angels and spirits are able to meet, see, and talk in person to everyone they have been acquainted with or heard about, if the Lord lets them call such persons to mind, 1114.
