Subject: Verse 14 About Judas or Israel and Judah |
Bible Note: beja I tend to agree with your assesment here. The problem becomes with what Mathew did with one verse as taking it out of context from what Zechariah meant as if it was a prophecy about Judas rather than a prophecy about evil shepherds back then. And a further problem becomes that it is attributed to the wrong author by the apostle Mathew as being Jeremiah, but it only appears in Zechariah. The next problem becomes that it is a prophecy about Judas that did come true and that Mathew was inspired by the Holy Spirit to write what he wrote about Judas and the 30 pieces of silver. Verse 14 which is what I asked about, being the Staff Union breaking the brotherhood of Israel in two parts could be talking about the breaking up of Israel over Jesus Christ. Which it did do, which is why I asked. There are times when prophecies get doubly fulfilled and I am wondering if this is one of them? The whole passage? Because the elements fit both time periods and came true in both time periods - the flock was scattereda after the betrayal of the one shepherd, the group of shepherds became evil and God decided not to pastor them anymore, God broke His covenant in both instances, Zechariah threw the thirty pieces of silver to the potter after being paid by the people and Judas threw the thirty pieces of silver to those who did not value the one shepherd, Israel became divided in both instances, the sheep were devoured in both instances, the evil shepherd was punished in both instances. I wonder what you think? Perhaps I am wrong? blessings abound, bowler |
