Significance: Jesus combines multiple OT passages depicting the Day of the Lord into a composite vision of his return. The cosmic imagery (whether literal or metaphorical) describes unprecedented divine intervention. Daniel's Son of Man receiving universal dominion identifies Jesus as the divine messianic figure. Zechariah's mourning over the pierced one suggests recognition and repentance when people see whom they crucified. This eschatological collage demonstrates how various OT judgment and salvation oracles converge in Christ's parousia, the climactic act of redemptive history.
