Zechariah 13

“In that day a fountain shall be opened for the house of David and for the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for uncleanness.  “It shall be in that day,” says the Lord of hosts, “that I will cut off the names of the idols from the land, and they shall no longer be remembered. I will also cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to depart from the land. vv.1-2

Have you ever wondered what are memory will be like in heaven?  If we will remember this life and all that is in it?  Well we cant say for sure exactly what we will and wont remember, but here Zechariah says that the names of the idols will no longer be remembered in that future day.  So does that mean they'll have a different name then?  Bible teacher Nathan Johnson describes this verse:

The Baals and other idols are not remembered by their names.  One’s name has to do with the reputation one has, or the esteem in which others hold one.  If the idols are no longer remembered by their names, this means that they are no longer remembered by their reputations as powerful gods, but rather they are remembered as false gods, empty images, and worthless deceptions.  They do dwell in memory, but only as this, and not by the reputations they once had.  That is how their names are no longer remembered. (to read the whole article check out Remembrance in the Afterlife)

 What we do remember is that Christ is the living water and that out of Him flows rivers of life.  Verse one describes how this fountain is flowing out of Jerusalem which is where Christ's throne is referring to flowing out of Him.  From Him flows forgiveness of sin and cleanses us both that is true of today and of that future fountain that never stops bubbling up.  It's not of ourselves that we get this drink but of going to Him, Jesus Christ, to take a drink.  “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.  He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water” (John 7:37-38).
Are you drinking from the Well of Life today?  What image of this fountain do you picture as Christ in the future?  What are you afraid to forget or afraid to remember?
