How does he care for his followers?
|
CHRIST IS THE GOOD SHEPHERD: John 10:4-15 And when he putteth
forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep
follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger will
they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not
the voice of strangers. This parable spake Jesus unto them:
but they understood not what things they were which he spake
unto them. Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily,
I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. All that ever
came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did
not hear them. I am the door: by me if any man enter in,
he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and
to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that
they might have it more abundantly. I am the good shepherd:
the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. But he
that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the
sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep,
and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the
sheep. The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and
careth not for the sheep. I am the good shepherd, and know
my sheep, and am known of mine. As the Father knoweth me,
even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the
sheep.
|
ANTICHRIST IS THE IDOL SHEPHERD: Zechariah 11:16-17 For,
lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, which shall
not visit those that be cut off, neither shall see the young
one, nor heal that that is broken, nor feed that that standeth
still: but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their
claws in pieces. Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the
flock! the sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right
eye: his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye
shall be utterly darkened.

fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp

ripe.

grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was
despised, and we esteemed him not.
|

blasphemy. And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard,
and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as
the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power,
and his seat, and great authority. And I saw one of his
heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound
