THESE are 'The Days of Ezekiel' for the LORD says 'I am against the Shepherds!'

The serious, severe, grave question to the shepherds of the American Christian Church today is: "Why do you not feed my Sheep? You feed the new Christians, the Lambs of my Flock . . . but you do NOT feed my sheep."

For the judgments of God never change.

The answer is: No, the Lord our God Jesus Christ is the same forever.

The Lord has judged ALL of the shepherds, as it is written:

Thus saith the Lord, I am AGAINST the SHEPHERDS . . . I am AGAINST those pastors who feed off Jesus' Sheep, but do not FEED my SHEEP.

The pastors of the American Church today only feed Jesus' newborn lambs, while the mature Christians in the Church starve to death for the lack of the meat of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Thus saith the Lord unto the pastors and teachers today: I am AGAINST the pastors, the shepherds of my Sheep; Should not they also feed my Sheep? . . . asketh the Lord Jesus Christ.

First we must always judge the spirits of any pastor or teacher correctly . . . for by their testimony of Jesus we are told judge them, as it is written:

"Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world." [1 John 4:2-3 KJV]

At Inchristi.or, follows is our testimony that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of the Living God, and that the Lord Jesus Christ is come in the flesh, fulfilling all of the law and the prophets, born of the virgin and lived all of His life without sin.

» Jesus obeyed the Father to His sacrifice of the Passover, was crucified and buried three days and three nights.

» On the day after the Passover Jesus was raised from the dead and immediately ascended to the Father . . . after He told Mary Magdalene that He was immediately ascending to the Father.

— As the High Priest of the Passover Jesus by His own blood which He shed on the cross bore the Blood of the Lamb into the Holy of Holies in the tabernacle which is heaven.

— The blood which Jesus shed on the cross to pay for our sins He presented unto the Mercy Seat of the Father.

— That is where His blood remains unto this day: sealing the Testament of our Salvation.

. . . to this day and forever more the Blood of the Lamb remains as the oath of God.

The blood of the Lamb seals His redemption before the throne of the Father as a permanent reminder that . . .

YOU are surely saved and ALL of your sins are paid for.

Amen.

Pastors and Preachers, now hear ye now the Word of the Lord against the shepherds of HIS Flock today, the Church of which is His body on this earth of which Jesus is the head.

As it is written . . .

"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?' " [Ezekiel 34:2 KJV]

Follows the remainder of the Living Word of God as He forced His servant Ezekiel to speak unto the false-shepherds of His church.

We must always remember who God is and what God does;

that the Lord our God is One God and that He changeth not.

The same God who spoke the Judgment of God, the words below, to Ezekiel is the head of the Church today, Jesus Christ.

The servants of Jesus today are commanded to speak unto His Church . . . thus saith He:

"Woe to the Shepherds of the Church today, who live off the flock but who do NOT feed the SHEEP in My flock."

"Woe be to the shepherds . . . that feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the flocks?" [Ezekiel 34:2 KJV]

"Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill them that are fed: but YE FEED NOT THE FLOCK." [Ezekiel 34:3 KJV]

"Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I judge between cattle and cattle, between the rams and the he goats . . . you to have eaten up the good pasture . . . ye tread down with your feet the residue of your pastures . . . but ye must foul the residue with your feet . . . my flock, they eat that which ye have trodden with your feet; and they drink that which ye have fouled with your feet." [Ezekiel 34:17-19 KJV]

The pastors were set as watchmen, but they DID NOT warn the Sheep [the mature Christian] Jesus's flock.

"Take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman . . . But if the watchman . . . blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned . . . he [of the Sheep] is taken away in his iniquity; but HIS BLOOD will I require at the WATCHMAN'S Hand." [Ezekiel 33:2-6 abridged, KJV]

Hear ye now the calling of all the prophets of God . . .

"Also, thou son of man, the children of thy people still are talking against thee . . . saying, Come, I pray you, and hear what is the word that cometh forth from the LORD . . . but they will not do them . . . thou art unto them as a very lovely song . . . they hear thy words, but THEY DO THEM NOT. And when this cometh to pass, (lo, it will come,) then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them." [Ezekiel 33:30-33 abridged, KJV]

{34:1} And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

{34:2} 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?

{34:3} Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill them that are fed: but ye feed not the flock.

{34:4} 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.

{34:5} And they were scattered, because there is no shepherd: and they became meat to all the beasts of the field, when they were scattered.

{34:6} 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.

{34:7} Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD;

{34:8} "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;"

{34:9} Therefore, O ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD;

{34:10} 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.

{34:11} For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out.

{34:12} 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.

{34:13} 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.

{34:14} 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.

{34:15} I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord GOD.

{34:16} 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.

{34:17} 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.

{34:18} 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?

{34:19} 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.

{34:20} Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD unto them; Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat cattle and between the lean cattle.

{34:21} Because ye have thrust with side and with shoulder, and pushed all the diseased with your horns, till ye have scattered them abroad;

{34:22} Therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between cattle and cattle.

{34:23} 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.

{34:24} And I the LORD will be their God, and my servant David a prince among them; I the LORD have spoken [it. ]

{34:25} 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.

{34:26} 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.

{34:27} 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.

{34:28} 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.

{34:29} 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.

{34:30} 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.

{34:31} And ye my flock, the flock of my pasture, [are] men, [and] I [am] your God, saith the Lord GOD.

Context, The Book of the Prophet Ezekiel, Chapter 35 . . .

{33:1} Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

{33:2} Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman:

{33:3} If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people;

{33:4} Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head.

{33:5} He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul.

{33:6} But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman’s hand.

{33:7} So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me. {33:8} When I say unto the wicked, O wicked [man,] thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked [man] shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.

{33:9} Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.

{33:10} Therefore, O thou son of man, speak unto the house of Israel; Thus ye speak, saying, If our transgressions and our sins [be] upon us, and we pine away in them, how should we then live?

{33:11} Say unto them, [As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?

{33:12} Therefore, thou son of man, say unto the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression: as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turneth from his wickedness; neither shall the righteous be able to live for his [righteousness] in the day that he sinneth.

{33:13} When I shall say to the righteous, [that] he shall surely live; if he trust to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity, all his righteousnesses shall not be remembered; but for his iniquity that he hath committed, he shall die for it.

{33:14} Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right;

{33:15} [If] the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had robbed, walk in the statutes of life, without committing iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die.

{33:16} None of his sins that he hath committed shall be mentioned unto him: he hath done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely live.

{33:17} Yet the children of thy people say, The way of the Lord is not equal: but as for them, their way is not equal.

{33:18} When the righteous turneth from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, he shall even die thereby.

{33:19} But if the wicked turn from his wickedness, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby.

{33:20} Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. O ye house of Israel, I will judge you every one after his ways.

{33:21} And it came to pass in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth [month,] in the fifth [day] of the month, [that] one that had escaped out of Jerusalem came unto me, saying, The city is smitten.

{33:22} Now the hand of the LORD was upon me in the evening, afore he that was escaped came; and had opened my mouth, until he came to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened, and I was no more dumb.

{33:23} Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

{33:24} Son of man, they that inhabit those wastes of the land of Israel speak, saying, Abraham was one, and he inherited the land: but we [are] many; the land is given us for inheritance.

{33:25} Wherefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Ye eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes toward your idols, and shed blood: and shall ye possess the land?

{33:26} Ye stand upon your sword, ye work abomination, and ye defile every one his neighbour’s wife: and shall ye possess the land?

{33:27} Say thou thus unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; [As] I live, surely they that [are] in the wastes shall fall by the sword, and him that [is] in the open field will I give to the beasts to be devoured, and they that be in the forts and in the caves shall die of the pestilence.

{33:28} For I will lay the land most desolate, and the pomp of her strength shall cease; and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, that none shall pass through.

{33:29} Then shall they know that I [am] the LORD, when I have laid the land most desolate because of all their abominations which they have committed.

{33:30} Also, thou son of man, the children of thy people still are talking against thee by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, every one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and hear what is the word that cometh forth from the LORD.

{33:31} And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they shew much love, [but] their heart goeth after their covetousness.

{33:32} And, lo, thou [art] unto them as a very lovely song of one that hath a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument: for they hear thy words, but they do them not.

{33:33} And when this cometh to pass, (lo, it will come,) then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them.
