The Shepherd Savior
Against the Man bwho is My Companion,”
Says the Lord of hosts.
c“Strike the Shepherd,
And the sheep will be scattered;
Then I will turn My hand against dthe little ones.
Says the Lord,
“That atwo-thirds in it shall be cut off and die,
bBut one–third shall be left in it:
Will brefine them as silver is refined,
And test them as gold is tested.
cThey will call on My name,
And I will answer them.
dI will say, ‘This is My people’;
And each one will say, ‘The Lord is my God.’ ”

Zechariah 13:8-9
Two-thirds of the Jewish nation were to perish in the Roman wars, and a third to survive. Probably from the context (Zechariah 14:2-9), which has never yet been fulfilled, the destruction of the two-thirds (literally, "the proportion of two," or "portion of two") and the saving of the remnant, the one-third, are still future, and to be fulfilled under Antichrist.
