Friday – Prophets

Reading – Zechariah 11-12

Highlight Verse:

“This illustrates how I will give this nation a shepherd who will not care for those who are dying, nor look after the young, nor heal the injured, nor feed the healthy. Instead, this shepherd will eat the meat of the fattest sheep and tear off their hooves.”
‭‭Zechariah‬ ‭11‬:‭16‬ ‭NLT‬‬

I realized after reading this verse that the 30 pieces of silver being thrown to the potter was not the only prophecy in this chapter.

Zechariah predicted the uncaring, politically motivated high priest in power during Jesus’ time in Jerusalem.

As terrible of a person that he was, we can be thankful this prophecy was fulfilled.

Without that terrible high priest, the sacrifice for our sins may have never been made.

But it was – thanks again to God, who sees the big picture.

Are there prophecies from the Bible that amaze you as this one amazes me?
Can you begin to see how God’s ways are far beyond ours?
