Скачать или смотреть Why is "Shepherds" a metaphor for Rabbis? What is a "Reckoning" of the Shepherds?

“Thus said the Lord God: I am going to deal with the shepherds! I will demand a reckoning of them for My flock, and I will dismiss them from tending the flock.” Ezekiel 34/10.

“Then I will appoint a single shepherd over them to tend them—My servant David. He shall tend them, he shall be a shepherd to them. I the Lord will be their God, and My servant David shall be a ruler among them—I the Lord have spoken. And I will grant them a covenant of friendship.” Ezekiel 34/23-25.

“My servant David shall be king over them be one shepherd for all of them. They shall follow My rules and faithfully obey My laws. Thus they shall remain in the land which I gave to My servant Jacob and in which your fathers dwelt; they and their children and their children's children shall dwell there forever, with My servant David as their prince for all time.” Ezekiel 37/24-25

These verses were written with reference to God’s servant David of a time in the lands of Abraham that kingdoms existed.

This is not an anointment to be King over the lands of Abraham and its people and God's servant David will come in a time that Israel is a democratic State. In today's world, with so many synagogues and people Israel, the best interpretation is that David will be a leader of God’s flock to tend them and be a ruler among them.

David is not a King or prince of Israel and there is no mention of a kingdom as commonly believed from the teachings of the Sages and the Rabbis of the ancient age and middle ages and today.

Reckoning: the avenging or punishing of past mistakes or misdeeds; Judgment & punishment of dismissal of all Rabbis.

Why is "Shepherds" a metaphor for Rabbis?

The term Rabbi in the original Hebrew means a teacher. In pursuing that calling, individuals have responded to the various needs of their Jewish community. In addition to the literal meaning of the word Rabbi, Jewish tradition views the three Hebrew letters of the word to represent an acronym. The abbreviation translates to shepherd of the children of Israel.

"The shepherd is the dominant leadership metaphor in the Hebrew Bible. The role of the shepherd was a cornerstone of the Hebrew economy as sheep provided key staples of wool, meat and other commodities. God’s choice of the shepherd as a leadership metaphor made sense for a nomadic society dependent on sheep, goats and cattle."

Why all of the Rabbis; even those without flocks? All must help to make Judaism what God wants it to be. In whatever way each Rabbi can.

God is not pleased with the teachings of the Rabbis of the day of the Lord and their reliance on the opinions and commentaries of the Sages and Rabbis from the ancient age and middle ages (who often disagreed with one another). There are many inconsistencies and errors in what the Sages and Rabbis say and what the scripture says.

God says the anointed one is a shepherd, king, and prince of the flock. Not of the promised lands and all its people and perfecting the world. Rambam removes God's word and replaces it with Rambam's word that the anointed one is a King of the lands and people and will have a Kingdom.

The commandment by God that nothing is to be taken from or added to His Teachings and Laws of the Torah applies to all the Hebrew Bible. All of which was written at His direction and command and all of which is God's word.

The entire teaching of the era of redemption, restoration and exaltation strays so far from the natural order of the world and the ways of God and His words written by His prophets that it angers him. The prophets were rarely listened to and God spoke directly to them telling them what to write.

That is one reason He will have a reckoning with them and dismiss them. Interpreting and teaching that in the day of the Lord King Moshiach will perfect the world to speak Hebrew and practice Judaism and the entire world will exalt the Jewish people as being right about God all along.

Rabbis astray and God tries one more time. Do not Forsake Him. Teach the matters of His Books and lift His prophet high. This removes the dismissal and those who do will be entered into the scroll of remembrance and see the Jewish Heaven He is creating.

God is not creating a new world of all men loving and exalting and holding in high esteem the Jewish people and practicing Judaism though He is creating a new heaven for only the Jewish people where the name Israel shall endure.

God has never changed the will of men or how they think of Him and the Jewish people in His power. Any exaltation the Jewish people receive from the world will come through the efforts of God's righteous servant as directed and commanded by God as He did with Moses.

I am God's servant David, the only Shepherd of the flock God recognizes and my unwritten purpose is to teach the matters of the two Books He dictated to me, to tell my stories of living with God and the Angel of His Presence the Holy Spirit, and what it is like to become a man and divine beings.
