Jesus is a fountain of forgiveness; all who trust Him will have their sins forgiven and cleansed of all unrighteousness. When Jesus was hung on the cross and was pierced and run through with the sword, the blood that flowed from him cleansed us from all unrighteousness. That’s not all! A process of refining takes place. Those trials and uncomfortable situations are allowed by God to train you to trust Him. If you pass the test, you will come out like fine gold. Submit to Him quickly so the refining won’t take too long. The sooner you leave your troubles in God’s hands the quicker they will be over. 

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. Zechariah 13:1

Hindsight is 20/20! We can see Jesus clearly in Zechariah 13. He is the fountain in verse 1. It is Jesus’s hands that were pierced by his friends in verse 6. He is the Shepherd in verse 7, who was struck and the sheep, his disciples, scattered. Since then, the enemy has come after those who trust him; we are the little ones in verse 7. However, the enemy will not win because we are under God’s divine protection.

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. 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. Zechariah 13:8-9

Bonus: The 666, 66% is the 2/3’s of the people who will cut off. We, the Christians, are the 1/3, 33% who are being refined. The 66.6% plus the 33.3% of the angels displaced from heaven equal 100% of evil will be gone!
