Three Shepherds And The Revoked Covenant



Zechariah 11:7-11. Three Shepherds And The Revoked Covenant.


Zechariah 11
7 So I pastured the flock marked for slaughter, particularly the oppressed of the flock. Then I took two staffs and called one Favor and the other Union, and I pastured the flock.
8 In one month I got rid of the three shepherds.
The flock detested me, and I grew weary of them 9 and said, "I will not be your shepherd. Let the dying die, and the perishing perish. Let those who are left eat one another's flesh."
10 Then I took my staff called Favor and broke it, revoking the covenant I had made with all the nations.
11 It was revoked on that day, and so the afflicted of the flock who were watching me knew it was the word [Yahshua] of [the Lord / Yahwah.]

The three Shepherds.

The Sanhedrin (Hebrew and Aramaic: סנהדרין; Greek: Συνέδριον, synedrion, "sitting together," hence "assembly" or "council") was an assembly of twenty-three or seventy-one rabbis appointed to sit as a tribunal in every city in the ancient Land of Israel.

The Sadducees were members of a Jewish sect founded in the second century BC, possibly as a political party. They ceased to exist sometime after the first century AD.

The Pharisee were founded in 167 BC, they were a ("separatist") party that emerged largely out of a group of scribes and sages. Their name comes from the Hebrew and Aramaic parush or parushi, which means "one who is separated.


Thus the Three Shepherds: Sanhedrin, Sadducees, and Pharisees.


Revoked Covenant and Converts
The mission was to convert the NATIONS to Judaism.

Matthew 23:15
“Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when you have succeeded, you make them twice as much a child of hell as you are.

Genesis 17:10
This is my covenant with you and your descendants after you, the covenant you are to keep: Every male among you shall be circumcised.

Genesis 17:12
For the generations to come every male among you who is eight days old must be circumcised, including those born in your household or bought with money from a foreigner—those who are not your offspring.

Foreigners—those who are not Abraham’s offspring were also included in the covenant.

Zech 11:10 Then I took my staff called Favor and broke it, revoking the covenant I had made with all the nations.
11 It was revoked on that day, and so the afflicted of the flock who were watching me knew it was the word [Yahshua] of [the Lord / Yahwah.]





Genesis 17:13
Whether born in your household or bought with your money, they must be circumcised. My covenant in your flesh is to be an everlasting covenant.

Forever is forever, unless something should change that; like a revoked covenant.

Genesis 17:14
Any uncircumcised male, who has not been circumcised in the flesh, will be cut off from his people; he has broken my covenant.”

Genesis 17:23
On that very day Abraham took his son Ishmael and all those born in his household or bought with his money, every male in his household, and circumcised them, as God told him.

Abraham also had people from other nations living with him.

Genesis 17:4
“As for me, this is my covenant with you: You will be the father of many nations.

Genesis 17:5
No longer will you be called Abram; your name will be Abraham, for I have made you a father of many nations.

The covenant that Abraham would be the father of many nations will never be revoked.

Paul also preached against circumcision.
Acts 6:14
For we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place and change the customs Moses handed down to us.”

Acts 15:1
Certain people came down from Judea to Antioch and were teaching the believers: “Unless you are circumcised, according to the custom taught by Moses, you cannot be saved.”

 

[Jethro Bodine]

Forever is forever, unless something should change that;

Permanently fulfilling something one time for all time so that it no longer needs to be literally kept anymore satisfies God's word that something is to be forever.

 

[Jethro Bodine]

The covenant of circumcision continues forever in the putting off of the flesh by the Spirit.

All who are not circumcised, not having this mark in the flesh (the putting off of the flesh by the Spirit) are not in covenant with God. They have failed to 'keep' the command to be circumcised required to be in covenant with God.

 

[CherubRam]

The covenant of circumcision continues forever in the putting off of the flesh by the Spirit.

All who are not circumcised, not having this mark in the flesh (the putting off of the flesh by the Spirit) are not in covenant with God. They have failed to 'keep' the command to be circumcised required to be in covenant with God.

The Covenant of Circumcision was the covenant whereby all nations could enter. That was revoked in place of the New Covenant.
