Bible Question:
The rest of the verse surrounding this verse are talking about Judas the betrayer, as far as I can tell from verses 13 - 17, but 14 doesn't seem to fit, but seem to have something to do with Zechariah's time. I am trying to figure out how verse 14 could be applied to Judas, it seems to have more to do with verses 6 - 12 of the same passage and seems to speak more to Zechariah telling the people of his time that the Lord is going to allow them to be split in two as a nation. Chapters 12 and 13 also would uphold this notion of what 13:6 - 17 are about. How should we understand verse 14 - as future prophecy of Judas, or as present prophecy of a split Israel? blessins abound, bowler |
Bible Answer: Personally I understand the whole passage to be referring to the current situation. I just don't think the reference to the thirty pieces of silver in verse 13 merits understanding the whole passage as speaking about Judas. Far more likely it is talking about the very near judgement of God on this nation and later thinkers has the infamous 30 pieces of silver in mind when reading it. |
