Shepherd's Rod and Entrance Test
Shepherd's use to stand at the entrance of their sheep fold and have the sheep pass by them and into their encampment by passing under their
shepherd's staffs or rods. Care had to be taken that no predators or wolves in sheep clothing entered, so as to attack the sheep from within.
Similarly, the Lord of our End-Time Encampment has to have His 2 Shepherds or Witnesses (Rev 11) make sure, only the Lord's sheep enter
into the One sheepfold (John 10) and no 'mixed multitude' of 'half hearts' (Revelations 3: 15-16) dilutes the purity of His Bride. So as with the
physical sheep, the Lord's spiritual sheep will have to literally pass under the Shepherd's ROD. (Ezekiel 20: 37)
The Lord will have entrance tests to prove the heart and soul of those trying to enter his sheepfold. For just as with Communion, that can be a
curse to those that drink it unworthily, even those passing unworthily under the shepherd's rod, can suffer similar fates. For as the Lord said to
Ezekiel concerning NOT Ezekiel's Time but our EndTime…........ ( starting at Ezekiel 20: 33).......
33 - As I live saith the Lord GOD, surely with a mighty hand and with a stretched out arm and with fury poured out, will I rule over you. (In
other words, it won't be a day for the weak and fearful, and the Lord will be by force gathering us and defending us).
34 - And I will gather you out from the people and will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered with a mighty hand and with a
stretched out arm and with fury poured out. (The Lord will gather us from all over the world, from all sorts of groups and nationalities and bring
us together and Not leave us separated and at the mercy of the Anti-Christ and his ilk)
35 - And I will bring you into the wilderness of the people (And the woman fled into the wilderness where she hath a place prepared of God,
that they should feed her there a thousand and two hundred and sixty days. - Rev 12: 6)…. and there will I plead with you face to face (exactly
what happened in the 1st Exodus, but this will be the 2nd Exodus, as the Lord will speak face to face in His original tabernacle over his original
Ark to His Two EndTime Prophets)
36 - Like as I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I plead with you saith the Lord (The exact same Exodus
out of Egypt will happen again … for the 2 Shepherds are again told to …'FEED thy People with thy ROD, the flock of thine inheritance
which dwell solitarily in the wood…as in the days of old. According to the days of thy coming out of Egypt will I shew unto him marvellous
things….Micah 7: 14-15)
37 - And I will cause you to PASS under the ROD, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant. (We will have to again PASS UNDER
THE ROD)
38- And I (the Lord) will PURGE out from among you the rebels and them that transgress against me; I will bring them forth out of the country
where they sojourn, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the Lord . (For the Lord will make sure that we
all have a FEAR of HIM especially after seeing the judgments on the rebels that will have attempted to enter his sheepfold other than through
the door.
*********************************
John 10…7 - Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. 8 - All that ever came before me are
thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. 9 - I am the door by me, if any man enter in, he shall be saved and shall go in and out, and
find pasture.
For as David said in Psalm's ..the Lord's rod and staff will comfort us in the wilderness and will supply our needs and our protection in Jesus
Name.
