Ezekiel 34:
20 Therefore thus says the Lord God to them: Behold, I Myself will judge between
the fat and the lean sheep.
21 Because you have pushed with side and shoulder, butted all the weak ones with
your horns, and scattered them abroad,
22 therefore I will save My flock, and they shall no longer be a prey; and I will judge
between sheep and sheep.
This prophecy begins with the Lord condemning the Shepherds(Pastors) who failed
in tending to His flock.
10 Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against the shepherds, and I will require My
flock at their hand; I will cause them to cease feeding the sheep, and the shepherds
shall feed themselves no more; for I will deliver My flock from their mouths, that they
may no longer be food for them.
The Lord Will Remedy The Situation For His Name's Sake
15 I will feed My flock, and I will make them lie down,says the Lord God.
16 I will seek what was lost and bring back what was driven away, bind up
the broken and strengthen what was sick; but I will destroy the fat and
the strong, and feed them in judgment.
He continues to focus His attention on the strong among the flock,
for neglecting the weak.
17 And as for you, O My flock, thus says the Lord God: Behold, I shall judge
between sheep and sheep, between rams and goats.
18 Is it too little for you to have eaten up the good pasture, that you must tread
down with your feet the residue of your pasture—and to have drunk of the clear
waters, that you must foul the residue with your feet?
19 And as for My flock, they eat what you have trampled with your feet, and
they drink what you have fouled with your feet.
This prophecy is a clear point of reference to fully comprehend the Lord’s
Good Shepherd discourse in John 10. Even more so the Matthew 25 discourse
of judging between sheep and goats. Can there be any doubt about what Peter
is referring to in His teaching?
1 Peter 4:
17 For the time for judgment will begin at the house of God; and if with us first,
what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God?
18 Now If the righteous one is scarcely saved, where will the ungodly
and the sinner appear?
Therefore, the righteous judgment of Christ begins with those
who were made righteous.
Will they be found to have practiced righteousness?
