This is a terrific study on Zechariah 11 and 12.
These chapters continue the themes of advent, with chapter 11 focusing on the first advent, portraying Israel’s rejection of the good shepherd (Jesus), and chapter 12 depicting the second advent, where Jesus returns in glory and Israel repents. Zechariah uses vivid imagery of cleansing fire and the consequences of rejecting God’s leadership. Ultimately, the return of Christ will bring judgment on wickedness, restore His people, and reveal the truth of God’s salvation, prompting believers to live lives of holiness in anticipation of His coming.
