We will see in this chapter that...?

• The word "sheepfold" is in reference to the Jews and not to the Gentiles then or even today.
• See Matthew 10:5 -  These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:
• An understanding of this parable of the door to the sheepfold, etc. will give us an understanding of the wolves today who have entered into and designed today's modern Christianity.
• Paul has 'reason' to be concerned about those who preach 'another Jesus' with 'another gospel' and of receiving 'another spirit' etc.
• II Corinthians 11:4
• As Christ must be the shepherd who actually enters into the sheepfold; that is the same today, as Paul mentioned about the Risen Christ entering in through Paul and his teachings and doctrine as mentioned by Paul in...
• I Thessalonians 1:9 - For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God;
• Philippians 4:9 - Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
• An understanding about the wolves & robbers and thieves that 'enter in' other than Paul.
• Music, professors, teachers, books, modern bible versions, doctrines other than Paul's, church & denominational teaching basics, etc. no matter how far off they are these days.
• We will see more on the division that Jesus causes - then and now as the risen Christ through Paul and that ole KJ Bible.
• We see comparisons easily made to the King James Bible today with what takes place in the life of Jesus.
• We will see the importance of hearing the right voice when it comes to the voice of Jesus Christ.
• His Gospels voice to the Jews
• His voice of the Great Commission
• His voice through Paul
• His voice through the King James Bible
• His voice to the 'saints' in the Tribulation
• We see again what to do with those who just don't want to see, hear and understand Paul's gospel along with his manner of life.

Parable of the Wrong Door - Wrong Shepherd - thieves and robbers!

• 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.
• King James Bible -I Corinthians 13:10
• 5: And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
• But will they hear the correct voice today?
• See I Corinthians 13:10,11 - There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification. Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me.
• See II Corinthians 11:1-4 - Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me. For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus...

• 6: This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.
• 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.
• 10: The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
• Who have you let in?
• Music, professors, teachers, books, modern bible versions, doctrines other than Paul's, church & denominational teaching basics, etc. Thieves and robbers of the Great Commission as their foundation of ministry.
• This is the Great Commission / Modern Christianity promise!
• Paul preaches "abounding" but not in physical riches - the Risen Christ gives us spiritual blessings.
• I Thessalonians 4:1 - Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more.
• Ephesians 1:3: Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
• Ephesians 3:20 - Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
• Paul warned about the love of money, doing things for filthy lucre and results in the lives of those trusting in riches.
• I Timothy 6:9,10 - But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
• 11: I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
• Watch for that foolish shepherd!
• Zechariah 11:15-17 - And the LORD said unto me, Take unto thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd. For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, which shall not visit those that be cut off, neither shall seek the young one, nor heal that that is broken, nor feed that that standeth still: but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces.  Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the flock!  the sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened.

• 12: But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.
• 13: The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
• 14: I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.

• 15: As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.

• 19: There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings.
• 20: And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him?

• words hard to understand
• contradictions
• wrong word used...

• 25: Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.
• Remember the 4 witnesses in Chapter 5:30-47
• Does I John 5:7,8 mean that there will be no more Scriptures available again during the Tribulation as a witness to the record of God?
• What about I John 5:13?
• Was it like a post-I Corinthians 13:10 era becoming like the pre- I Corinthians 13:10 era?
• I John 3:19,20-21,24, etc.
• or
• Amos 8:11-13 - Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:  And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it. In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst.

• 26: But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.

• See 29 again - I and my Father are one.
• 32: Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?

• Eventually go on to those who are willing to believe!
• avoid - from such withdraw - have no company with - depart from - be not partakers with them - 'shake off the dust of your feet against them.'
