THE DECREE HAS GONE FORTH... WOE TO THE SHEPHERDS, SAYS YHWH!
from January 31, 2016
VISION(s):
I saw the sheep, the flock of the LORD (YHWH), grazing in barren fields. They were eating from dirt, rocks, glass, etc. There was very little grass. They were on the lowlands as opposed to the higher plains where there were lush pastures, fit for feeding of flocks. There was no shepherd in sight.
Then bandits came out of nowhere and began to beat upon the sheep. Some took out knives and stabbed viciously at the sheep. There was blood everywhere. Some were dead, others were left for dead. I knew the wolves would come to devour what was left. The scene was disturbing and I thought of the bleating cry of sheep and the screeching and piercing sounds of agony released from them left nearly for dead.
As I proceeded in prayer, I then saw the Father raise up. He had a rod in His hand and I knew it was the rod of correction/punishment. The underside of the rod was a staff, and what was revealed was that He was coming to smite, scatter and regather His sheep, and give them into the care of shepherds who would properly feed, nourish them and lead them according to His ways.
I saw shepherds who rushed to the aid of the bruised and beaten sheep, who pulled out a horn of oil and begin to apply the ointment to bring healing to them. They used their cloaks to cover them and cared for them with great intention.
The last part of the vision while in prayer, was a snapshot of a pulpit. The designated chair for the pastor — which is larger than the other chairs in the pulpit — was turned down, face down.
WORDS OF YHWH:
My indignation now comes, to be poured out and satisfied. I shall smite and I shall scatter, then I shall retrieve My holy remnant, but they must now pass through the fire, for there shall be no lukewarm in My kingdom, says YHWH.
I have tarried amongst them for a season, now I must judge all that I see. The illustration I gave to thee is so. They murder My sheep and leave them bloodied, and the hands of the shepherds filled with My children's blood is before Me.
I shall punish them even more severely, but My sheep too shall know the error of their way. It's time to weep between the porch and the altar, donned in sackcloth and ashes for what has been done in My name. Am I not Holy and set apart?
I searched for they I called to be the same, sacred and set apart for My use, yet they would not come out of the world and be set apart to Me. Even when I bring a word, they use it for everyone else, but failed to see that it spoke to them first.
Now I come with My rod and staff — to smite the evildoers in My midst and to lead My flock away from them. The hireling, thief and robber shall be cut off, for I have raised up shepherds with My heart who will love, feed and nourish My sheep and set them on course. They shall feed in the lush pastures and no longer eat from barren fields.
What was robbed from them, both spiritually and naturally shall be charged against the shepherds. They were to serve My sheep and teach them to serve Me, not themselves. I shall pillage them and take all of the filthy lucre and trample down all they sought to fund and furnish off the backs of My lambs. They sheared My sheep and sold their wool to purchase of the fools gold of the world.
WOE unto thee you wicked shepherds, says YHWH!
[This is when I saw the vision of the pulpit.] No more shall they sit in seats and don themselves as king. I am taking back My pulpits and I am taking back My throne, says YHVH. I am the LORD!
Ezekiel 34
1 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God unto the shepherds; Woe be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the flocks?
3 Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill them that are fed: but ye feed not the flock.
4 The diseased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye healed that which was sick, neither have ye bound up that which was broken, neither have ye brought again that which was driven away, neither have ye sought that which was lost; but with force and with cruelty have ye ruled them.
5 And they were scattered, because there is no shepherd: and they became meat to all the beasts of the field, when they were scattered.
6 My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill: yea, my flock was scattered upon all the face of the earth, and none did search or seek after them.
7 Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the Lord;
8 As I live, saith the Lord God, surely because my flock became a prey, and my flock became meat to every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flock;
9 Therefore, O ye shepherds, hear the word of the Lord;
10 Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them.
11 For thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out.
12 As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.
13 And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in all the inhabited places of the country.
14 I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie in a good fold, and in a fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel.
15 I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord God.
16 I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but I will destroy the fat and the strong; I will feed them with judgment.
17 And as for you, O my flock, thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I judge between cattle and cattle, between the rams and the he goats.
18 Seemeth it a small thing unto you to have eaten up the good pasture, but ye must tread down with your feet the residue of your pastures? and to have drunk of the deep waters, but ye must foul the residue with your feet?
19 And as for my flock, they eat that which ye have trodden with your feet; and they drink that which ye have fouled with your feet.
20 Therefore thus saith the Lord God unto them; Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat cattle and between the lean cattle.
21 Because ye have thrust with side and with shoulder, and pushed all the diseased with your horns, till ye have scattered them abroad;
22 Therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between cattle and cattle.
23 And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.
24 And I the Lord will be their God, and my servant David a prince among them; I the Lord have spoken it.
25 And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell safely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods.
26 And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing.
27 And the tree of the field shall yield her fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase, and they shall be safe in their land, and shall know that I am the Lord, when I have broken the bands of their yoke, and delivered them out of the hand of those that served themselves of them.
28 And they shall no more be a prey to the heathen, neither shall the beast of the land devour them; but they shall dwell safely, and none shall make them afraid.
29 And I will raise up for them a plant of renown, and they shall be no more consumed with hunger in the land, neither bear the shame of the heathen any more.
30 Thus shall they know that I the Lord their God am with them, and that they, even the house of Israel, are my people, saith the Lord God.
31 And ye my flock, the flock of my pasture, are men, and I am your God, saith the Lord God.
