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11 It was
revoked on that day, and so the afflicted of the flock who were watching me knew it was the word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 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.
Thus the Three Shepherds: Sanhedrin, Sadducees, and Pharisees.
Hebrews 8:13
By calling this covenant “new,” he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear.
