God has come humbly among us, to call us to repentance and faith. When He walked and taught here some 2,000 years ago, some heard and followed Him, but many refused His counsel and invitation, though He was even as He claimed to be.
14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
He was killed by the powers of the day at the behest of those who loved their sin more than they loved God, yet, He is coming again to avenge His people Israel who shall finally believe in Him and upon Him, as they finally repent and receive Him by faith. Then shall He fight for them directly, during the time of Jacob's Trouble, and redeem a remnant unto Himself.
Zechariah 12:9-14
9 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek
to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
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.
11 In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.
12 And the land shall mourn, every family apart; the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart;
13 The family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of Shimei apart, and their wives apart;
14 All the families that remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.
Be not as those who are too proud to repent.
Return unto the LORD GOD, now, and receive the ONLY promise of Life that He offers.
