Zechariah 12:10. 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.
"AS" - This is another SIMILE describing God's Second Coming to Israel at the END of the Tribulation Period. Note that the "wife" got ready at the Second Coming (Rev. 19).

Zech 12:3. And in that day ...
4. In that day, ...
6. In that day ...
8. In that day s...
9. And it shall come to pass in that day, ...
Zechariah 14
1. Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, ...
4. And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, ...
6. And it shall come to pass in that day, ...
7. But it shall be one day ...
8. And it shall be in that day, ...
9....in that day ...
The "kingdom of heaven" parables are all pointing to just that--the coming of the kingdom of heaven.
