What does Zechariah mean by a fountain being opened?

Answered in 1 source

The 'fountain opened' signifies the abundant cleansing and forgiveness made available to God's people through Christ.

The reference to a fountain opened in Zechariah 13:1 symbolizes the ongoing availability of salvation and cleansing from sin. This fountain, connected to the blood and water that flowed from Christ's side (John 19:34), emphasizes His sacrificial death which provides both redemption and purification. This means that for those who believe, no sin is too great to be washed away and cleansed, emphasizing God's mercy. The imagery of a fountain also suggests that this provision is never-ending and always accessible to those who seek it.
