Where in the OT does Messiah say He is GOD?? Part 2

Now let me add a couple of my own.

In Zechariah 13, the Lord of Host is speaking using the first person pronoun "I" and "Me", clearly identifying Himself as the LORD God.

Zechariah 12:1 (NKJV)

The Coming Deliverance of Judah

1 The burden of the word of the LORD against Israel. Thus says the LORD, who stretches out the heavens, lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the spirit of man within him:

He continues Zechariah 12:4 (NKJV)

4 In that day,” says the LORD, “I will strike every horse with confusion, and its rider with madness; I will open My eyes on the house of Judah, and will strike every horse of the peoples with blindness.

The Lord of Hosts goes on to declare Zechariah 12:9 (NKJV)

9 It shall be in that day that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.

Now, there is no doubt that the LORD is speaking. Then in verse 10 the Lord of Hosts declares Zechariah 12:10 (NKJV)

Mourning for the Pierced One

10 “And I (the Lord of Hosts) will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; THEN THEY (Israel) WILL LOOK UPON ME (the Lord of Hosts) WHOM THEY PIERCED. Yes, they will mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son, and grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn.

I have a couple of questions for you. When did God get pierced and how can a Spirit be pierced?

Since you seem to doubt the authenticity of the New Testament, I will present two witnesses from the Old Testament. I hereby enter into evidence the prophet Isaiah and the prophet & king David. Isaiah prophesied about this in Isaiah 53. David prophesied about this in Psalm 22.

Isaiah 53:10-12 (NKJV)

10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise Him;

He has put Him to grief.

When You make His soul an offering for sin,

He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days,

And the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in His hand.

11 He shall see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied.

By His knowledge My righteous Servant shall justify many,

For He shall bear their iniquities.

12 Therefore I will divide Him a portion with the great,

And He shall divide the spoil with the strong,

Because He poured out His soul unto death,

And He was numbered with the transgressors,

And He bore the sin of many,

And made intercession for the transgressors.

Psalms 22:16-18 (NKJV)

16 For dogs have surrounded Me;

The congregation of the wicked has enclosed Me.

THEY (Israel) PIERCED MY HANDS AND MY FEET

17 I can count all My bones.

They look and stare at Me.

18 They divide My garments among them,

And for My clothing they cast lots.
