I hope you aren't offended by what I did up there.
I appreciate you trying to rectify with intelligence, the other day you taught me something really profound; fair enough what you did above was a mess, yet it is understandable as you're missing points, and running ahead (H4122).
Learn 'Selah' (H5542), which to me means "Sit, pause reflect"... Like in a musical note with a long reverb, and delay... .. .. .. . . .
Ask questions: before assume there are necessities missing; always studying more, not assume less.
Esword on a KJV+ is a little complex; yet there are keyword referencings weaving the whole thing together as a tapestry.
We've had multiple conversations lately... and essentially, I'm sorry, but I end up having the same problem in each one of the "maths". Data is missing from each proof, and the links between each element of the proof are not as strong as they appear on examination. The result is , as I said before, bait and switch.
Sorry it is me being lazy with listing everything; I'm not academically intelligent, I'm a musician, and artist, who struggles with religiously minded grammar, and am sharing for humanities sake.
pretend that I believe in Yeshua,
We don't need to in this context, and people inserting Yeshua into the texts messes up exegetically looking at it.
We can understand it from the Tanakh alone:
Zechariah 11 cites aspects of the Curse being placed, eating flesh Zechariah 11:9, Deuteronomy 28:53-55.
Zechariah 11:1-2 'burning' of the 'cedars' is seen as prophetic of the destruction of the temple being built (Timeline).
Often the very words being spoken are all 'keywords', we word search, and the scriptures open up.
The 'Timeline' as already stating previously in the thread is correlated by Jeremiah 25 being 70 years in Babylon the same as Daniel 9 cites.
The Messiah comes at the end of both chapters Jeremiah 25:29-38, and Daniel 9:26-27 before the 2nd Temple Destruction, where then the Daily Sacrifice is removed.
Since we know then that Zechariah 11 is specifically the Messiah coming before the 2nd Temple Destruction by history, and the context of Jeremiah 25, and Daniel 9.
Where the Diaspora happens because the Covenant of Abraham (Zechariah 11:10), and the Covenant at Sinai (Zechariah 11:14) were both nullified when the Leaders of the people paid for their divorce, with 30 pieces of silver for the price of our Messiah - which is the price of a slave.
The wording in Zechariah 11:15-17 'feeding themselves the fat' is also found in Ezekiel 34, which shows that from the time after the Diaspora our people have been blinded (Zechariah 12:4, Deuteronomy 28:28-29), where these Blinded Shepherds have fed themselves.
If I'm a simple child reading your words
I just think it's an over sight and an accidental omission because you're super smart. And it's difficult to dumb-down the "maths" for people who don't already know what you're talking about.
As a child looks in pure delight, it takes time to understand; be patient, ask more questions, and see more answers in the texts, before assuming it isn't there.
The maths is complex, yet it becomes fun to learn, when we get used to word searching ideas properly in the
Tanakh+.
Sorry, when not always being straight forward in every post, with every single detail, to justify all the equations.
In my opinion.
