Zechariah 10
Israel will yet ask for the latter rain, and receive Jehovah's answer. Earthly prosperity—figure, too, of spiritual blessing—shall be restored thereby to the land. Punishment on evil shepherds shall fall, but out of Judah shall come forth “the corner” (namely, Christ, as the chief corner Stone, the solid Foundation for all God's blessing to His people); “the nail” (namely, Christ, the nail hung in a sure place, on whom can be safely hung the glory of the house); and “the battle bow” (namely, Christ the Power of God for vanquishing all His foes). Whether for blessing or for judgment, all is found in Christ. Israel shall be yet gathered, and their enemies vanquished.
