Teaching | Understanding Zechariah: Yahweh Shepherds (Zechariah 10-11)

The story of the Old Testament is the story of Israel repeating the same history over and over again. God blesses them with prosperity and they take that blessing and use it to chase after other gods. If the OT have one message it’s this: learn from history and repent. Zechariah 10-11 continues that prophetic tradition by contrasting God the good shepherd with the wicked shepherds of Israel’s leaders. All of this comes together in a live-action sign performed by Zechariah to remind Israel of their true source of peace and provision: Yahweh. This is Understanding Zechariah.
