KJV summary for : Zechariah 11
Summary: Zechariah chapter 11 portrays the symbolic action of the prophet as he acts out God's judgment against Israel's leaders and shepherds. The chapter opens with an ominous call to Lebanon to lament the fall of its tall trees, representing the destruction coming to the people. Zechariah then describes himself as a shepherd tasked with leading the flock, signifying God's care for His people amidst their spiritual decline. However, the chapter highlights the unfaithfulness of the leaders, depicted as worthless shepherds who neglect their duties and lead the people astray. The themes of judgment and betrayal are central to this chapter, as the prophet reflects on the deep-seated disobedience of Israel. The act of cutting off two staffs, named Favor and Union, symbolizes the breaking of covenants and the resulting discord among the people. As the chapter progresses, Zechariah foreshadows the arrival of a new shepherd, who would be rejected, a prophetic allusion to the coming Messiah. Ultimately, chapter 11 serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of turning away from God's guidance, emphasizing the need for true leadership and faithfulness to God's covenant.
