The Idol Shepherd
Zechariah 11:17
[17] Woe to the idol shepherd that leaves the flock! the sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened.
Who is an idol shepherd? Definitely, God is not referring to idol worshipper that serves other gods but to His children especially those that have been specially and gracefully assigned to be ministers of the Gospel. Even some Christians are still idol worshippers even though they might sent years in the Church.
Idolatry is not just the bowing of oneself to a man made god but more of not seeking God first and desiring the world and it's pleasures that are pains in real sense.
So an idol shepherd is any shepherd that does any of the aforesaid. The repercussions of being an idol shepherd are stated here by God. God will use His sword on his/her arm and eyes. Do you understand? Such a now will become empty, unable to gather and would be in darkness.
Be wise! Shalom!
