Zechariah 13 (Strike the Shepherd)

Zechariah 13:7 was literally fulfilled on the night of Jesus' betrayal when the religious mob arrested Him in the garden and His disciples fled. The deeper reality of this passage is that on the cross God smote the Divine Shepherd for our sins. This was necessary for our salvation and to satisfy Divine Justice. Only by this means could God be just and the justifier of sinners.

Zechariah 13:8 appears to be a direct consequence of the cross. The two-thirds who were cut off and died were likely related to the invasion of Titus in 70 A.D., while a third of faithful ones were spared, to be refined by fire, and brought to full communion with God.
