The Shepherd of Israel and Judah
Jeremias 27:4 In those days, and at that time, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Juda together; they shall proceed, weeping as they go, seeking the Lord their God. 5 They shall ask the way till they come to Sion, for that way shall they set their face; and they shall come and flee for refuge to the Lord their God; for the everlasting covenant shall not be forgotten. 6 My people have been lost sheep: their shepherds thrust them out, they caused them to wander on the mountains: they went from mountain to hill, they forgot their resting-place. 7 All that found them consumed them: their enemies said, Let us not leave them alone, because they have sinned against the Lord: He that gathered their fathers had a pasture of righteousness.
Jeremias 38:30 But every one shall die in his own sin; and the teeth of him that eats the sour grape shall be set on edge. 31 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Juda:
Jeremias 39:37 Behold, I will gather them out of every land, where I have scattered them in My anger, and My wrath, and great fury; and I will bring them back into this place, and will cause them to dwell safely: 38 and they shall be to Me a people, and I will be to them a God. 39 And I will give them another way, and another heart, to fear Me continually, and that for good to them and their children after them. 40 And I will make with them an everlasting covenant, which I will by no means turn away from them, and I will put My fear into their heart, that they may not depart from Me. 41 And I will visit them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land in faithfulness, and with all My heart, and with all My soul.
Osee 1:8 And she weaned Unpitied; and she conceived again, and bore a son. 9 And He said, Call his name, Not My people: for ye are not My people, and I am not your God. 10 Yet the number of the children of Israel was as the sand of the sea, which shall not be measured nor numbered: and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said to them, Ye are not My people, even they shall be called the sons of the living God. 11 And the children of Juda shall be gathered, and the children of Israel together, and shall appoint themselves one head, and shall come up out of the land: for great shall be the day of Jezrael. ... 19 And I will betroth thee to Myself for ever; yea, I will betroth thee to Myself in righteousness, and in judgment, and in mercy, and in tender compassions; 20 and I will betroth thee to Myself in faithfulness: and thou shalt know the Lord.
1 Peter 1:1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the chosen Diaspora in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, 2:9 But ye [are] a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of Him who hath called you out of darkness into His marvellous light: 10 Which in time past [were] not a people, but [are] now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
Matthew 4:15 The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, [by] the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Nation; 16 The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up. 17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.
Psalms 23:1 The Lord tends Me as a shepherd, and I shall want nothing. 2 In a place of green grass, there He has made me dwell: He has nourished me by the water of rest. 3 He has restored my soul: He has guided me into the paths of righteousness, for His name's sake. 4 Yea, even if I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will not be afraid of evils: for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff, these have comforted me.
John 10:1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. 2 But He that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 To Him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear His voice: and He calleth His own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. 4 And when He putteth forth His own sheep, He goeth before them, and the sheep follow Him: for they know His voice. 5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
