Agreed JordanZechariah 11:7 "And I will feed the flock of slaughter, even you, O poor of the flock. And I took unto me two staves; the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Bands; and I fed the flock."The "flock of slaughter", are those Christians who allowed themselves to be deceived. Whether by ignorance, or by listening to the traditional poetry of the false shepherd, all will be taught. "Even you", refers to the "Tares", as you will see in a later verse [Zechariah 14:21]. Who will feed this flock? The "elect" in the end times, when the Holy Spirit is using them to get the message out. These Tares/Kenites are the sheep traffickers that gain their prophets off of God's sheep.The "staves" are the rods used for control, and the "Beauty" [Grace], and "Bands" [union] are what is being taught. This is referring Jesus Christ, His grace and His love. However, this flock will have already bowed to the Antichrist, so this revival will take place in the Millennium age. This verse shows us that Jesus Christ is very patient, yet He will take care of the Tares and gather these tares in at His right time. Zechariah 11:8 "Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul lothed them, and their soul also abhorred me."These "three shepherds" are the priests, magistrates, and false prophets. In one firm stroke, all three will be done away with. Jesus will clean house when He returns. God is telling us that He doesn't like them, or the games they play with their false doctrines, such as the "rapture theory". He doesn't like those false shepherds who lie, and deceive His sheep.Zechariah 11:9 "Then said I, I will not feed you: that that dieth, let it die; and that that is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest eat every one the flesh of another."God is telling you that if you want to destroy yourself, go ahead, I'll let you. You can't even wait until the "staffs and bands", or New Testament [covenant] comes which is our Jesus Christ. God is saying, if you will not get into My Word, and be wise in understanding, I will let those false teachers and preachers take you for all you have. Zechariah 11:10 "And I took my staff, even Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the people."This "staff" is the shepherd's staff. Christ is the "Beauty" [Grace] cut asunder on the cross. Here we are told why he died on the cross. Jesus Christ died to break that old covenant He made with the people, and out of the old covenant, Jesus established a New Covenant. This does not replace the Old Covenant, but completes it. The promises of the Old Testament are just as valid today as when they were made.Zechariah 11:11 "And it was broken in that day: and so the poor of the flock that waited upon me knew that it was the Word of the Lord."The Old Covenant was broken in the day our Lord Jesus Christ hung on the cross of Calvary. Those Tares/Kenites that called for Jesus blood, that sat in the seat of Moses, knew of the Old Covenant, and waited to for their right time to kill Him. That right time was God's appointed time. Once again, the "poor of the flock" are the "Tares/Kenites". They are those sheep traffickers of verse eleven. Zechariah 11:12 "And I said unto them, If ye think good, So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver."The "thirty pieces of silver", was the price of a wounded slave, and that is the price Judas received to betray His Lord [Matthew 27:3-10]. This writing here in Zechariah, prophesying in detail the things about Christ's death, was spoken in 403 B.C. Sure Judas did repent of that sin. He then took the thirty pieces back and threw them on the floor of that dirty dove, mite infested temple.Zechariah 11:13 "And the Lord said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a goodly price that I was prised at of them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver and cast them to the potter in the house of the Lord."This is exactly as it happened in Matthew 27:3-10. Though Judas didn't give it to the potter, the Kenite [those that call themselves Jews, but are not] high priest "Caiaphas" did. These Kenites Jewish religious leaders bought the potters field. The potters field is a place where makers of pottery throw all the broken and deformed works, the clay objects of pottery that no one wants, nor can use. It illustrates that the silver used in the betrayal of Jesus Christ could not be used to purchase anything of value. It also demonstrates in detail the perfect Word of God, through prophecy being acted out in accordance with God's timing. When a person ends up broken and on the potters heap, to the world he is a total loss. However there is hope for those that are down and out through their repentance. Our Lord offers complete forgiveness of all sin and a new life, all paid for with the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. When there is repentance in ones heart and faith that God can reshape their life if that lost soul is earnest. He knows the intent of your very heart [mind]. Zechariah 11:14 "Then I cut asunder mine other staff, and Bands, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel."From verse ten through thirteen we saw God's prophecy of the "Beauty" [grace] given to us, by the death of our Lord Jesus on the cross. In verse fourteen we see the prophecy of the "Bands". The "Bands", or "Union" happened a long time ago, upon King Solomon's death. At that time the twelve [12] tribes were divided into two nations, which in the Bible are called "Houses". They are named throughout the Scriptures as "the House of Israel" [ten tribes to the north], and "the House of Judah" [the Jews]. Zechariah 11:15 "And the Lord said unto me, Take unto thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd."This "foolish shepherd" is the Antichrist [Satan]. God will give him his authority to do what he does. Those "tools" are the keys of Revelation 9:1, and they will be used to deceive the whole world, but God's elect.Revelation 9:1 "And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star [Satan the morning star] fall
