Zechariah 13:8 In the whole land,” declares the Lord, “two-thirds will be struck down and perish; yet one-third will be left in it.
Scholars tell us this section of verse is talking about the people who have taken to religion for religions sake and not to having a right and proper relationship with God.
What I don’t like is the sound of the odds – two thirds of people in this passage will be relying on religion instead of on God, and they do not get eternal life with God!
We have to make sure we do not get caught up in the religious side of things but stay focused on God and all He stands for – that is why Christians should look to Jesus as the fulfilment of God’s Word.
