	Messiah Revealed: Fulfilled Messianic Prophecies from Zechariah 11
		While much of the book of Zechariah looks forward to a time of restoration and blessing still to come to the nation of Israel, Zechariah chapter 11 describes a dark period of Jewish history that was to come before this promised time of splendid prosperity.
		Written approximately 500 years in advance of the events, Zechariah chapter 11 is a remarkable passage of scripture that describes Israel's rejection of their Messiah, and the subsequent judgement that befell them because of it.
		Some try to associate Zechariah chapter 11 with the Babylonian invasion, but unless it is explained directly within the text, metaphorical language used in parables in the Hebrew Scriptures is normally used to describe a future event, and not to record what has already occurred and the specifics of which are already well known.

	Messiah Revealed: Fulfilled Messianic Prophecies from Zechariah 12-14
		Zechariah chapter 11 pointed to the first coming and rejection of the Messiah, and Zechariah chapters 12-14 look to the second coming as Jesus is received in glory and Israel is re-born.
		In either event, the ultimate fulfillment of the scattering depicted in Zechariah 13:7 is the dispersion of the Jewish people that occurred in 70 C.E. at the fall of Jerusalem at the hands of the Romans.
		The scattering or dispersion spoken of in Zechariah 13:7 is directly associated with the rejection of the Good Shepherd in Zechariah chapter 11, and specifically with the judgement of the breaking of the brotherhood between Judah and Israel in Zechariah 11:14.

	Introduction to Zechariah
		Author: Zechariah, whose name means "of whom Jehovah has memory", was one of the post-exilic prophets and a contemporary of Haggai.

		Zechariah is also noted for his development of an apocalyptic-prophetic style - highly symbolized and visionary language concerning the events of the end-time.

	Book of Zechariah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Zechariah’s ministry took place during the reign of Darius (Zechariah 1:1), and was contemporary with Haggai in a post exilic world after the fall of Jerusalem in 586/7 BC.
		We do not know a great deal about Zechariah’s life except what is inferred from the book, although it is believed that his ancestor, Iddo, was the head of a priestly family who returned with Zerrubbabel; the inference being that Zechariah was a priest and a prophet.
		The prominence of prophecy is quite apparent in Zechariah but it is also true that Zechariah (along with Haggai) allows prophecy to yield to the priesthood; this is particularly apparent in comparing Zechariah to Third Isaiah (chapters 55–56 of the Book of Isaiah), whose author was active sometime after the first return from exile.
