"Then I cut asunder mine other staff, even Bands, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel./And theLordsaid unto me, Take unto thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd."
Here the Holy Spirit speaks of the instruments of a foolish shepherd. He is figuratively seated in the seat of Moses but what he does is hypocritical.
The broken staves Beauty and Bands refer to Israel. As token of them we have the four pieces of Bands and Beauty by which there shall be no more a meaningful brotherhood between Judah and Israel. They are scattered to far ends of the earth.The first staff signified Beauty. By breaking the covenant of the lordship and flock God took away the Beauty of holiness from their temple worship. "No man who has any defect may come near: no man who is blind or lame, disfigured or deformed."(Le.21:18). The shepherd that would lead them shall be as marred as any Levite who had a blemish in the former times was unfit to serve in the temple., For this what Prophet Zechariah writes here is highly significant. "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."(v.17) .In his 'woe to you' discourse Jesus characterize these idol shepherds,"Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!"(Matt.23:16)
Who are these foolish shepherds? "They are dogs with mighty appetites; they never have enough. They are shepherds who lack understanding; they all turn to their own way, they seek their own gain."(Is.56:1-NIV) Ez.13:10; Je.22:17 Their judgment was foretold in the Book of Ezekiel. We need consider this chapter 9 in order to understand the depth of their folly.
Ez.9:2-11 The Spirit mentions six angels one of whom is angel of the Lord with the writer's inkhorn.
