PT-7 Rejection of the True Shepherd (Zechariah 11:14)

SPIRITUAL DIARY FOR 9/22/2016 10:21 PM

My Worship Time                                                     Focus:  PT-7 Rejection of the True Shepherd

Bible Reading & Meditation                                     Reference:  Zechariah 11:14

            Message of the verses:  “14 Then I cut in pieces my second staff Union, to break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.”

            Well were not going to be done with chapter eleven after this SD, but we will switch gears and then look at the false shepherd in our next SD, and that will speak of the antichrist.

            This happened during the war with the Romans as all of the tribes got all mixed up, but be sure of one thing and that is that the Lord knows where the tribes are located and during the tribulation period He will select 12,000 from each tribe to do His work spreading the gospel around the world.  There are people who think that there are only two tribes in Israel because of the defeat of the Northern Kingdom of Israel with its ten tribes, but we have to go back to when the kingdoms split and there was a false religious system set up by Jeroboam with the cows and many of the godly people left and went to the Southern Kingdom so that they could continue to worship in the prescribed way with the temple worship.

            I want to move ahead to Zechariah 12 and look at verse ten:  “10 “I will pour out on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace and of supplication, so that they will look on Me whom they have pierced; and they will mourn for Him, as one mourns for an only son, and they will weep bitterly over Him like the bitter weeping over a firstborn.” Now this verse is a prophecy of the return of Jesus Christ at the end of the tribulation period and His foot will touch down on the Mount of Olives exactly where He left planet earth to return to the Father as seen in Acts chapter one.  At this time the remaining Jews from the tribulation period will realize that Jesus is indeed their Messiah as they will look at His wounds that will still be visible when He returns.

            So we have finally completed looking at these first 14 verses of chapter eleven and as we said this chapter is one of the most difficult chapters to understand, but my prayer is that all of us will have a better and deeper understanding of this portion of Zechariah chapter eleven.
