Study Note
The eschatological promise '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' follows Zechariah 12:10's vision of mourning for the one they pierced — connecting the fountain of cleansing to the sacrificial death of the pierced figure. The 'fountain opened' (niftach) — permanently available rather than dispensed at intervals — contrasts with the ritual purification systems of Leviticus that required repeated application. Revelation 1:7 ('every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him') quotes Zechariah 12:10, and John 19:34-37 explicitly identifies Jesus' pierced side as the fulfilment of Zechariah's pierced one — making the fountain of blood and water (John 19:34) the eschatological cleansing source. The verse has been the basis for Christian hymnody about the atoning blood (Cowper's 'There is a fountain filled with blood').
