In this fascinating episode of Bible Mysteries Podcast, Scott Mitchell and John Potts delve into the mysterious figure known as the Idol Shepherd, mentioned only once in Scripture—in Zechariah 11:17. Who is this enigmatic shepherd? What is his role in the end-times? And how does he stand in stark contrast to the Good Shepherd, Jesus Christ?
Scott breaks down this prophetic puzzle by examining Hebrew etymology, historical foreshadowings, and cross-referenced Scripture. Through careful exegesis, the episode reveals that the Idol Shepherd is more than just a failed leader—he is the prophesied Antichrist who will deceive the world, rise from a deadly wound, and claim divinity in the rebuilt temple of God.

Key Topics Covered:

• Who is the Idol Shepherd? A deep dive into Zechariah 11:17 and the meaning of the Hebrew words el-eel' (idol) and ro’eh (shepherd).
• The Contrast to Christ: How Jesus, the Good Shepherd, lovingly lays down His life for the flock, while the Idol Shepherd forsakes and devours it.
• Prophetic Connections: How this figure is tied to the Antichrist, the beast of Revelation 13, and the abomination of desolation.
• Modern Implications: Could AI, false religious movements, or ancient myths like the Anunnaki play a role in deceiving the world?
