Zechariah 12:9-11
"And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
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.
In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon."
Zechariah 13:6
"And one shall say unto him, ‘What are these wounds in thine hands?’ Then he shall answer, ‘Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.’"
He's sitting right now at the right hand of the Father with those nail scars in His hands. We will see them when we see Him.

I thought of Zachariah,but that pertains to the millennium on earth. Not what he will be in heaven. Am I correct on that?
Well, the Scripture I quoted from Zechariah is at the Second Coming. Christ will come and destroy the anti-christ at the battle of Armageddon, Israel will see Him do it, but they don't know it's Jesus Christ their fore-fathers crucified. Israel as a nation still rejects Jesus as the Messiah, and they will still be rejecting Him until the Second Coming. They don't believe this Scripture from Zechariah to be about Jesus.
When Zechariah said, "one will ask Him what are these wounds in your hands," they have no clue it is Jesus of Nazareth. The theologians say this is the very moment of recognition, they realize who He is. This is the reason for the great mourning in the land on that day, they now know that Jesus of Nazareth was and is their Messiah.
Paul's prophecy, "and all of Israel will be saved" is fulfilled on that day. Israel now accepts Jesus as their Messiah.
