Zechariah12:10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.

But the NT says that this was fulfilled at the time of Christ. John 19:37, cf. Luke 6:25.

>>But the NT says that this was fulfilled at the time of Christ. John 19:37<<

You need to go back in that Chapter and put verse 10 into context.

Verse 2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.

That wasn’t the situation when Jesus was crucified.

Verse 3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.

Generally when it says “in that day” it’s talking about the end times. “All that burden themselves with it shall be cut into pieces” didn’t happen when Jesus was crucified.

Verse 4 In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness.

Again, “in that day”. “Every horse with astonishment and his rider with madness”. Clearly talking about a time not like the time of Jesus crucifixion.

Now continue to verse 10 and you can see that verse 10 is not talking about any time in history.
