The Doomed Flock

I'm so grateful that you could join me for this

evening live stream here on YouTube. We're going to talk

about Zechariah chapter 11, the slaughtering shepherds. Of course, the

Zechariah 11 · chapter mention

KJV title for this chapter is the doomed flock. That

is pretty apropos. The New King James Version, starting in

verse 4, calls this the prophecy of the shepherds. So

let's get into it. God bless everybody. Matthew Miller here

from Maranatha Ministries. Today we're going to talk about once

again what Jesus Christ talks about in the first 14

verses of Matthew chapter 24. In verse 8, the New

Matthew 24 · chapter mention

King James and the King James Version both say The

beginning of sorrows. That's not what the Greek says. The

Greek has one word. Odin in Greek. That's contraction. It

is specifically the birth pangs in labor. So they're literally contractions.

We in English call that contractions. Just a few statements later,

he calls this period before the abomination tribulation. Not great tribulations.

He says that's after the abomination of desolation. So we

are going to go through the birth pangs. And it

is amazing. It is amazing to me that people today,

when I talk about it, it takes them by complete

surprise and causes them great, great, great discomfort of mind.

The great apostasy.

Is not, it is not, done by Muslims or Buddhists

or pagans or atheists.

It's carried out inside the church. It is an apostasy.

It is a divorce. That's what the Greek language is

in reference to, a divorce. It's a divorce between Christians

and their God. That's what it is, apostasy. Literally, that

Greek word means divorce. So, this is not from atheists.

Atheists were never Christians. Buddhists were never... People who practice

witchcraft cannot divorce God. They can't. They were never in

a covenant with Him. We just talked about the difference

between dispensational and covenant theology yesterday in our live streams.

Covenant means divorce. So, no one understands This is what

Zechariah chapter 11 is talking about. It's talking about those

Zechariah 11 · chapter mention

first 14 verses in Matthew chapter 24. People inside the church,

Matthew 24 · chapter mention

people who have only been water baptized, that's not been

born again. They have done what Hebrews chapter 10 verses

Hebrews 10:26–29

26 through 29 states happens to people that get water

baptized They take the covenant, they come into the body

of Christ and continue willfully sinning. After a period of time,

this rebellion insults the spirit of grace and they cannot

be born again. They cannot be filled with the Holy Spirit.

Please read Hebrews chapter 10. Write it down longhand. On

Hebrews 10 · chapter mention

a three by five card or something. Hebrews chapter 10.

Hebrews 10 · chapter mention

Verses 26 through 29. If you do that. You cannot

be baptized in the Holy Spirit. If you continue to

sin willfully. It's not going to happen. So this is

what this is about. When the great apostasy occurs. This

is before. The abomination of desolation. It's before. Before. the

three and a half year tribulation. That's what's being talked

about here. Here in other prophetic verses, you have to

be familiar with the entire text of the word from

Genesis to Revelation. This isn't the first time when he

says there's coming a time in a flood of many waters,

your prayers won't reach him. This ain't the first time

he said this. So we don't have time in the

context of this you know, 20 or 30 minute live

stream to go over all those redundant verses. It's everywhere.

It's not one place. It's everywhere. So it's important that

you realize he's talking about shepherds. This is categorically not

talking about atheists or anybody else. These people are churchgoers

and they're clergy. They're his shepherds that are shepherding his

Christian flock. The people have entered a covenant with him

specifically by taking communion or what the church in the

East calls the Eucharist. I read it in my last

live stream. When you enter into a covenant with him,

you're entering into a marriage relationship with him. And if

you turn from that, in Greek that's called apostasy. You

apostatize yourself from God. So this is what Matthew chapter

Matthew 26 · chapter mention

26 in verses 26 through 29, Jesus Christ painfully lays

out for you. There is only one covenant. It's a

marriage covenant. And if you apostatize yourself, it's because you've

insulted the spirit of grace. So let's get into this.

Let's pick it up in verse four. I mean, we

could go to the first three verses, but I don't

need to continually reiterate myself to those of you that's

been born again. When I do this, it's only beneficial

to those who have not been baptized in the Spirit,

and they reject it anyway. So let's start in verse 4.

You need to realize this is talking about you, those

of you in the congregation of Christ who've been born again.

And it's saying it for a reason. This is the

time when in Revelation the seven sealed double-sided scroll is

released from God the Father's hand. He releases it and

gives it to the Lord Jesus Christ. That's when this happens.

Verse 4 of Zechariah chapter 11. Thus says the Lord

Zechariah 11 · chapter mention

my God feed the flock For slaughter. Whose owners. Slaughter them.

And feel no guilt. Jesus Christ said. They were going

to make a martyr out of you. These are your

fellow congregants. That's not been born again. This is your clergy.

They don't work for Christ. Those who sell them. Say,

blessed be the Lord, for I am rich. And their

shepherds do not pity them. There is coming a time

when your clergy will be paid to inform on you

that you're a Bible believer. You've been born again. They

that you won't adhere to their theological myths, and you

actually believe the Bible, they're going to turn you in,

and the government's going to pay them to do it.

Verse 6. For I will no longer pity the inhabitants

of the land, says the Lord, but indeed I will

give everyone into his neighbor's hand, and into the hand

of his king. They shall attack the land, and I

will not deliver them from their hand. Jesus Christ said

this to his own disciples in the first 14 verses

of Matthew chapter 24. I don't understand why people don't

Matthew 24 · chapter mention

believe him. Anyway, thus saith the word. Verse 7. So

I fed the flock for slaughter in particular. Oh, my goodness.

In particular, the poor of the flock. Sorry about my dog.

In particular, the poor of the flock. I took for

myself two staffs, the one I called Beauty and the

other I called Bonds. And I fed the flock. I

dismissed three shepherds in one month. My soul loathed them

and their soul also. adhoored me. This is literally talking

about preachers, people. It's talking about priests. It's talking about bishops.

These three shepherds are the three horns that the little

horn approves. The man of sin that accepts the deal

from the devil that was offered to Jesus Christ in

Matthew chapter 4. This man of sin accepts the deal

Matthew 4 · chapter mention

and becomes the son of perdition. He is a Christian.

He is a Christian. Verse 9. Then I said, I

will not feed you. Let what is dying die and

what is perishing. Let those who are left eat each

other's flesh. This is the fourth seal. This is the

fourth seal. You will not be delivered until Daniel chapter

Daniel 7:22

7 verse 22. That's the sixth seal event. God intervenes

for us on the sixth seal event. Yes, it's going

to get bad. You're going through the birth pains. Thus

saith the Lord Jesus Christ. Verse 10. And I took

my staff beauty and cut it in two that I

may break the covenant which I made with all the peoples.

Have any of you read Daniel chapter 9? There's only

Daniel 9 · chapter mention

one covenant. It's mentioned twice in Daniel chapter 9. Anyway.

Daniel 9 · chapter mention

This is just saying what he said then. The word

is just saying it in a different way. He's telling

you the same thing. Verse 11. So it was broken

on that day. Thus the poor of the flock who

were watching me knew that it was the word of

the Lord. Verse 12. Then I said to them. If

it is agreeable to you. Give me my wages. And

if not refrain. So they weighed out for my wages.

30 pieces of silver. They will hand you up to

the synagogue. They will kill you. And now you know

the price. They're getting paid. to do it. These are

the same exact wages that he mentioned just a few

short verses ago. He just told you how much these

shepherds got for you. So I took the 30 pieces

of silver and threw them to the house of the

Lord for the potter. Then I cut into my other

staff bonds that I might break the brotherhood between Judah

and Israel. And the Lord said to me, Next, take

for yourself the implements of a foolish shepherd. Ah, here

we go. The rise of the son of perdition. For indeed,

I will raise up a shepherd in the land who

will not care for those who are cut off, nor

seek the young, nor heal those that are broken, nor

feed those that still stand. But he will eat the

flesh of the fat and tear their hooves in pieces. Lord,

have mercy. You're going through the birth pangs. Verse 17.

Woe to the worthless shepherd who leaves the flock. A

sword shall be against his arm and against his right eye.

His right arm shall completely wither and his right eye

shall be totally blind. Do not presume that when the

beast from the earth rises, and I've said this before

in other live streams, look at the Septuagint for yourself.

These are the same exact phrases in Greek. When Samuel

rose from the earth, it's the same exact Greek phrase

that's used in Revelation chapter 13, when the beast that

Revelation 13 · chapter mention

rises from the earth, that beast, God will kill on

the great day of the Lord. And he will rise

from the grave. He will rise from the grave, but

when he does, his right eye won't work, and his

right arm will be completely ruined. I'm sure they will

hide this in his garments. There's another thing you need

to know about him. I did a live stream the

other day on the measure of a man. You probably

need to read this because what Revelation chapter 13 is

Revelation 13 · chapter mention

really referring to is that this angel Takes on the

same exact form. Of this beast from the earth. They

look identically the same. That's why they make an image.

To the beast. Because the beast from the sea. This angel.

Which can take on any form. He wants to. He

takes on the form. Of the man. Who has made

the covenant. With Satan. That's what it's saying. Here it

is saying. That when he is resurrected. When he does

rise from the earth. As Revelation chapter 13. Plainly says

Revelation 13 · chapter mention

in Greek. He does. He rises from the earth. His

right eye. Will be blind. And his right arm will

be withered. Now it's easy to cover up. If you're

blind in your right eye. That's easy to do. We

have prosthetics that can make it look like nothing's wrong.

The right arm, however, they'll probably hide that in his garment.

But this is what it's meant. The image of the

beast is in their image because they look identical. And

their number is 650. Sixty and six. Not three sixes.

It's not 18. It's 666. So I hope you enjoyed

this live stream. I hope that it's preparing you. It's

edifying those of you that's been born again. You need

to start listening to the word. You need to reject

the traditions of men. Those of you that's been born again,

you need to prepare yourself. This is what the word

says they're going to do to you. This is your

clergy doing this. That's what this says. We're reading from

the Hebrew translation. We could quickly switch this over and

cover the Greek. I can do both. This phraseology here

in Hebrew is illicit. It's his shepherds doing this to you.

Everything that Jesus Christ said they were going to do

to you in the first 14 verses of Matthew chapter 24,

Matthew 24 · chapter mention

they're going to do it in the great apostasy. So,

you're going through the birth pains. You need to get

prepared to do so. Those of you that have been
