Zechariah 9:8 BUT I will defend my house AGAINST MARAUDING FORCES. NEVER AGAIN, will an oppresser overrun my people, for now I am keeping watch.
This is the ERROR of ISLAM, they don’t properly study Biblical text so they do not understand that before the final Trump there is a Restoration EVENT of Israel, which God Himself is presiding over; the verse says He is keeping watch.
From verse 9 to the end of the chapter, it speaks in detail of the coming of Zion’s King - Not Ishmael or Mohammed or any Papal person with keys to the Kingdom; only a Messiah from the line of Jesse and David, through the line of Abraham, Isaaac and Jacob; this is the final end of the matter; no amount of bombing by either side can change the history of Biblical text.
