Idolatry Cut Off

1 “In that aday ba fountain shall be opened for the house of David and for the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for cuncleanness.  
2 “It shall be in that day,” says the Lord of hosts, “that I will acut off the names of the idols from the land, and they shall no longer be remembered. I will also cause bthe prophets and the unclean spirit to depart from the land.  
3 It shall come to pass that if anyone still prophesies, then his father and mother who begot him will say to him, ‘You shall anot live, because you have spoken lies in the name of the Lord.’ And his father and mother who begot him bshall thrust him through when he prophesies.

5 aBut he will say, ‘I am no prophet, I am a farmer; for a man taught me to keep cattle from my youth.’  
6 And one will say to him, ‘What are these wounds between your1 arms?’ Then he will answer, ‘Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.’

Zechariah 13:2

I will cut off the names of the idols - There shall not only be no idolatry, but the very names of the idols shall be forgotten, or be held in such abhorrence that no person shall mention them. This prophecy seems to be ancient, and to have been delivered while idolatry had prevalence in Israel and Judah.

I will cause the prophets - All false teachers.

And the unclean spirit - That which leads to impurity, the spirit of divination; the lust of the flesh, and of the eye, and the pride of life. Satan shall have neither a being in, nor power over, the hearts of sincere believers in Christ.
