Fleecing the Sheep - UBM [David Eells]

I had a dream just before waking this morning at 6:00 am. (The number of man and flesh.) I was in a car driving in a wealthy neighborhood that had detailed landscaping for homes that were close together but each one on top of its own steep hill. (The rich denominations or sects of Christianity with their own little kingdoms and sectarian ways are actually very close in their apostate ways. Those who worshipped the golden calves and falsely called them Elohim represent those who worship a false prosperity Jesus and made their houses in the high places They were not of Levi, meaning they were not ordained of God. {1Ki.12:28} Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold; and he said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. ... {31} And he made houses of high places, and made priests from among all the people, that were not of the sons of Levi.) The grass, etc., was well-watered and lush. (Peter said, "All flesh is as grass," so they are feeding those who walk in flesh their version of the water of the Word.)

As I was driving, I was surprised to see one or two small animals at the bottom of the hill of the property, near the bottom of the driveway, which went up on the left side of the property. (Those sheep are not highly esteemed by the apostate goats from the left.) I slowed down to see what they were doing. They were digging their their heads into the moist dirt to try to get water. They were very weak and were not finding water. (They were dying for lack of the water of life, which is the Word of God. This water cannot come from the earth but from heaven.)

I got out of my car to get a closer look and realized they were small sheep. They were lying on the dirt, barely able to move their heads. There was an older woman at the top of the hill who had just watered the yard and I thought I would go up there to get water, but surprisingly the yard was loose dirt and very steep, and I was unable to climb it. (There is no solid foundation to receive any word from the sects of apostasy.)

I noticed the landscaping that lined the driveway; it was white and fluffy. Then I stepped on it as I was going back down the hill and realized it was sheared sheep's wool. (The sheep get deceived and plundered by the rich leadership, as the world accurately calls it, "fleecing the sheep.") I picked up one sheep at the bottom of the hill, thinking I could take it to water. I turned it over in my arm, like holding a baby, and realized they were also weak from starvation. (The sheep spend years supporting the wicked leadership of these sects and they never grow up for lack of the real Word of God. These rich in the ways of the world rob the sheep to feed themselves, their egos and their pocketbooks. The Lord says He will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep.) I headed for my car to take it with me to find water and food. I also knew I had water in my car. (Many, as vessels of the Lord's Word, will rescue these famished sheep in the days to come and they will be taught of the Lord.)

{Eze.34:1} And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, {2} Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say unto them, even to the shepherds, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Woe unto the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the sheep? {3} Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill the fatlings; but ye feed not the sheep. {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 back that which was driven away, neither have ye sought that which was lost; but with force and with rigor have ye ruled over them. {5} And they were scattered, because there was no shepherd; and they became food to all the beasts of the field, and were scattered. {6} My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill: yea, my sheep were scattered upon all the face of the earth; and there was none that did search or seek [after them]. {7} Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of Jehovah: {8} As I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, surely forasmuch as my sheep became a prey, and my sheep became food to all the beasts of the field, because there was no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my sheep, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my sheep; {9} therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of Jehovah: {10} Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my sheep at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the sheep; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; and I will deliver my sheep from their mouth, that they may not be food for them.

{11} For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I myself, even I, will search for my sheep, and will seek them out. {12} As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered abroad, so will I seek out my sheep; and I will deliver them out of all places whither they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day. {13} And I will bring them out from the peoples, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them into their own land; and I will feed them upon the mountains of Israel, by the watercourses, and in all the inhabited places of the country. {14} I will feed them with good pasture; and upon the mountains of the height of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie down in a good fold; and on fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel. {15} I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord Jehovah. {16} I will seek that which was lost, and will bring back that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but the fat and the strong I will destroy; I will feed them in justice. {17} And as for you, O my flock, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I judge between sheep and sheep, the rams and the he-goats. {18} Seemeth it a small thing unto you to have fed upon the good pasture, but ye must tread down with your feet the residue of your pasture? and to have drunk of the clear waters, but ye must foul the residue with your feet? {19} And as for my sheep, they eat that which ye have trodden with your feet, and they drink that which ye have fouled with your feet.

{20} Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah unto them: Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep. {21} Because ye thrust with side and with shoulder, and push all the diseased with your horns, till ye have scattered them abroad; {22} therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between sheep and sheep. {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. {24} And I, Jehovah, will be their God, and my servant David prince among them; I, Jehovah, have spoken it. {25} And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause evil beasts to cease out of the land; and they shall dwell securely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods.
