Some see a reference to Jesus in Zechariah 13:7, "Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, saith the LORD of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones." They say that when Zechariah spoke of a shepherd, he was really speaking of Jesus, although Jesus is not mentioned by name, nor otherwise identified. Here, then, the shepherd is regarded by many Christians as symbolic of Jesus.

Was Zechariah the first to prophesy Jesus' death?
A:Some say that they can see in Zechariah 12:10-11 a possible prophecy of the death of Jesus. However, this would be a strange prophecy as it talks of the mourning for the god Hadadrimmon, considered to be a manifestation of Baal and scarcely a likeness of Jesus.A more objective and dispassionate reading of the Old Testament finds no mention of the death of Jesus. It is therefore a matter of faith and belief whether you see in Zechariah any prophecy of the death of Jesus, and also whether you see any earlier prophecy of Jesus' death.
