The sheep shall be scattered.

Zec 13:7

¶

Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man [that is] my fellow, saith the LORD of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones.

Another powerful prophecy fulfilled in
Christ. This is the Holy Spirit speaking
of Christ, the shepherd of our souls,
who is called "my fellow" which translates
more closely to "neighbor." The LORD of
Hosts is speaking of himself.

"Smite the shepherd, and the sheep
shall be scattered...."

This was God's strange PLAN revealed
and this was how it happened 2000
years ago. Christ was wounded and
stricken for our sins, and we were
scattered in the four winds of heaven
waiting for the generations to pass
until the fullness of the Gospel and
times were fulfilled.

We are there. We are here.

"I will turn my hand upon the
little ones" is more closely translated
as I will "RETURN" my hand....

Remember, the HAND of GOD is
salvation.
