My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill: yea, my flock was SCATTERED upon all the face of the earth, and none did search or seek after them. Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD; as I live, says the Lord GOD, surely because my flock became a prey, and my flock became meat to every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my flock, but the shepherds fed THEMSELVES, and fed NOT my flock; therefore, O you shepherds, hear the word of the LORD; Thus says the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them. For thus says the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out.
As a shepherd seeks out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.
Ezekiel 34:12
I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. As the Father knows me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. And OTHER sheep I have, which are NOT of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be ONE fold, and one shepherd. John 10: 14-16
Did you know that one of the reasons why Yeshua died on the tree was to gather and reunite the twelve tribes of Israel? Yeshua said that there are TWO sheepfolds that are going to be ONE sheepfold and He will be their shepherd. He is going to lay down His life.
Why? To gather and unite these two sheepfolds into ONE. Who are the two sheepfolds? They are Northern kingdom, Ephraim and Southern kingdom, Judah.
WHEN is He going to do that? In the “cloudy and dark day”. That is a Hebrew idiom for the time known as “Jacob’s trouble” or the tribulation period:
Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble; but he shall be saved out of it. Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the LORD; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make him afraid. Jeremiah 30: 7,10
