I had another question, and this is regarding:
Zechariah 13:8 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.
Most of my life, I've always heard this explained as ⅔ of the Jews will die, or that ⅔ of the Jews in the land of Israel will die.However, it says that in all the land, two parts therein shall be cut off and die.In the article linked here, from the times of Israel:
It says that only 47% of the people living west of the Jordan river, are Jewish.So, could that imply that, possibly, the ⅔ in the land, may include a large number of Arabs, as well?
