Dave said many weeks ago that three COG leaders would all be killed buy God on August 31, 2013. Now he seems to temper that remark by saying they can be hidden, made desolate or concealed. If death does not happen he will claims God has hidden them from the truth.
Zechariah 11:8: “Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and My soul lothed them, and their soul also abhorred Me.”
Now the second culminating event. We saw the “shepherds” throughout Zechariah cannot be religious leaders overseeing congregations (flocks) in the world.
Otherwise, which “three” ministers would it be referencing? We could
never know. And what would the removal of ANY three worldly ministers,
occurring in ANY particular month, ever have to do with God being able
to feed a flock that was being slaughtered? Remember, we saw this flock
is His flock. No matter how influential any three
worldly ministers were, their removal from power would not affect GOD’S
PEOPLE. Protestant ministers and Catholic priests are not deceiving
God’s people. Do you know a single person who thinks they are?
An overview of key phrases provides clues. Verse 8 describes men whom God loathes and who also abhor Him—even though we saw they say “Blessed be the Lord.” Loathed can also mean “to dock off, curtail…especially to harvest…cut down…lothe, reap (-er), (be, wax) short (-en, -er)…” Abhorred
means “to loathe…abhor, get hastily.” The phrase “one month” is easily
understood by just recalling Haggai, which describes events taking place
in the sixth month—in time for God’s people to keep
the Feast of Tabernacles together in the seventh month. “Cut off” can
also be translated “to destroy: conceal, cut down (off), desolate,
hide.” The meaning is obvious.
