ALL FALSE SHEPHERDS SOON TO DISAPPEAR

Inasmuch as Jehovah took action against the false shepherds in the days of Zechariah and again when Christ was on earth, we can be assured that he will take action against the modern-day false shepherds. Zechariah was inspired to prophesy about the deserved judgment to come upon the “valueless shepherd”:

Woe to my valueless shepherd, who is leaving the flock! A sword will be upon his arm and upon his right eye. His own arm will without fail dry up, and his own right eye will without fail grow dim.”​—Zech. 11:15-17.

Jehovah says that, because they do not really represent him and do not have his blessing, their “arm” of power and ability will wither up and their “right eye,” their best eye for discerning remedies and for governmental oversight, will grow dimmer and dimmer. We can see that even now men in “shepherding” positions are greatly confused and embarrassed. In the coming “great tribulation” upon this world Jehovah will destroy that “valueless shepherd” class altogether.
