Zechariah 14:21

19

This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.

20

In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD; and the pots in the Lord’s house shall be like the bowls before the altar.

21

Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the Lord of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of the Lord of hosts.

Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Literal Fulfillment

The "pots" and "Canaanite" could be symbolic of common objects and impure elements, suggesting a spiritual cleansing rather than a strictly physical transformation of every pot or the literal removal of a specific ethnic group.

Israel-Specific Promises

While the verse speaks of "Jerusalem and Judah" and the "house of the Lord of hosts," which are specific to Israel, the promise of "holiness unto the Lord of hosts" for "every pot" and the removal of "the Canaanite" could be interpreted metaphorically as a universal purification and removal of all ungodliness, rather than solely a promise to ethnic Israel.

Time-Bound Fulfillment

The verse describes a future state ("in that day") without specifying a duration for this state or providing a mechanism for recognizing its fulfillment beyond its occurrence.
