Are we now in 2024 in Zechariah 11. 

King James Version (1769) with Strongs Numbers and Morphology  and CatchWords: Zechariah Chapter 11
 [1] Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy cedars.
 [2] Howl, fir tree; for the cedar is fallen; because the mighty are spoiled: howl, O ye oaks of Bashan; for the forest of the vintage is come down.
 [3] There is a voice of the howling of the shepherds; for their glory is spoiled: a voice of the roaring of young lions; for the pride of Jordan is spoiled.
 [4] Thus saith the LORD my God; Feed the flock of the slaughter;
 [5] Whose possessors slay them, and hold themselves not guilty: and they that sell them say, Blessed be the LORD; for I am rich: and their own shepherds pity them not.
 [6] For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land, saith the LORD: but, lo, I will deliver the men every one into his neighbour’s hand, and into the hand of his king: and they shall smite the land, and out of their hand I will not deliver them.
 [7] And I will feed the flock of slaughter, even you, O poor of the flock. And I took unto me two staves; the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Bands; and I fed the flock.
 [8] Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul lothed them, and their soul also abhorred me.
 [9] Then said I, I will not feed you: that that dieth, let it die; and that that is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest eat every one the flesh of another.
 [10] And I took my staff, even Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the people.
 [11] And it was broken in that day: and so the poor of the flock that waited upon me knew that it was the word of the LORD.
 [12] And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver.
 [13] And the LORD said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a goodly price that I was prised at of them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the LORD.
 [14] Then I cut asunder mine other staff, even Bands, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
 [15] And the LORD said unto me, Take unto thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd.
 [16] For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, which shall not visit those that be cut off, neither shall seek the young one, nor heal that that is broken, nor feed that that standeth still: but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces.
 [17] Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth 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.


So what are the points pointing at that we currently are in Zechariah 11? Well there are signs of war with Lebanon now in 2024 and there has been attacks on Lebanon by Israel done in 2023. This is is Zechariah 11:1. 

(Zechariah 11:1 [KJV]) Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy cedars.

Also I try to understand what happened around October of 2023 and I feel it fits with Zechariah 11:6. 

(Zechariah 11:6 [KJV]) For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land, saith the LORD: but, lo, I will deliver the men every one into his neighbour’s hand, and into the hand of his king: and they shall smite the land, and out of their hand I will not deliver them.

Though I was saved out of it by the grace of God I believe. But can be good to consider Isaiah 36. Its almost like an occupation.

Then we have my experience with what could be called the Idol Shepherd and the foolish Shepherd that I had in 2023. 

(Zechariah 11:15-17 [KJV])
 [15] And the LORD said unto me, Take unto thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd.
 [16] For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, which shall not visit those that be cut off, neither shall seek the young one, nor heal that that is broken, nor feed that that standeth still: but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces.
 [17] Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth 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.

If that is the case then we might also be approaching the time when the prophets shall stop prophecying, its in Zechariah 13. 

(Zechariah 13:2-6 [KJV])
 [2] And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall no more be remembered: and also I will cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to pass out of the land.
 [3] And it shall come to pass, that when any shall yet prophesy, then his father and his mother that begat him shall say unto him, Thou shalt not live; for thou speakest lies in the name of the LORD: and his father and his mother that begat him shall thrust him through when he prophesieth.
 [4] And it shall come to pass in that day, that the prophets shall be ashamed every one of his vision, when he hath prophesied; neither shall they wear a rough garment to deceive:
 [5] But he shall say, I am no prophet, I am an husbandman; for man taught me to keep cattle from my youth.
 [6] And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds in thine hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.

And we would also be approaching the Zechariah 12 battle.
