Z'charyah / Zechariah 11 does not say that when the messiah would be G-d. The messiah is not mentioned at all in Z'charyah / Zechariah 11. The chapter is about G-d's anger with the Jewish people (not all -- but most) who were ignoring Him, rejecting Him -- even after all He had done for them. He speaks of Himself as a shepherd who has guarded his flock (the Jews) with two different types of staffs: a staff of pleasantness and a staff of destruction. Just as a parent uses positive re-enforcement and negative (treats versus "time out") -- so, to, does G-d. "And I took My [first] staff, [called] Pleasantness and I (G-d) cut it off to nullify My covenant that I (G-d) [had] formed with all the peoples. And it was nullified on that day. And the poor of the flock that kept My (G-d) word knew this, that it was the word of the L-rd." Z'charyah / Zechariah 10 - 10 - 11. Do you see any mention of the messiah? Of course you do not see a mention of the messiah, because he isn't mentioned! It little matters what claims are made in the Christian bible -- that Jesus is a son of G-d or G-d Himself. This is patently false and paganistic (the Romans no doubt using it as a "sales" tool to convert the pagans to Christianity). The T'nach makes it clear that G-d is not, and never will be, a man. "I HaShem do not change ." Malachi 3:6. "Before Me no god was formed, nor will there be one after Me. I, even I, am HaShem, and besides Me there is no Savior.” Y'shayahu / Isaiah 43:11. “I am the first and I am the last; apart from Me there is no G-d! Y'shayahu / Isaiah 44:6. "I am HaShem, and there is no other; besides Me there is no G-d" Y'shayahu / Isaiah 45:5. "Remember the first things of old, that I am G-d and there is no other; I am G-d and there is none like Me." Y'shayahu / Isaiah 46:9. The messiah will be a normal human being with normal human parents. The idea of a divine messiah is pagan -- the pagan religions were replete with half human-half god deities. This is not biblical -- G-d is G-d, He is One and He is unique. There is nothing like G-d who is infinite and omnipotent. Man is man. The twain does not meet.
