Who are the "other sheep
11
of John
10:16?
Christ said: "And other sheep I have, which are not
of this fold: them. also I w1.ll bring, and they shall hear my
voi~arufthere
shall be one fold. and ONE shepherd
11
(John
10:
16~.
"This fold
11
referSfoJUc:fah (the Jews) who were iv ng
in Palestine. Christ came to His own {the Jews) and His own
received Him not (John 1:11). Christ was born of the tribe of
JudahJ but the Jews rejected Him saying, "We will not have this
man o reign over us" (Luke
19:14).
Who are the i'other sheep" then? The "other sheep
11
are the other tribes
or
Israel. Israel (Jacob) had more than
one son -- he
had
TWELVE sons! The "other sheep
1
then are the
descendants of the other eleven s ons of Jacob. Chris referred
to them (the other tribes of Israel) as the lost sheep
or
the
house o:r Israel {Matt .
10:6).
The Jews referred to the other
tribes of Israel as "the dispersed
11
among the Gentiles (John
7:35).
Israel and Judah became two separate nations (houses)
during the reign of Rehoboam, Solomon's son.
For proof of where the other tribes of Israel were
at that time and where they are
today~
read Mr. Armstrong's
booklet
11
The Unl.ted States and the British Conunonwealth
in
Prophecy ... The
11
0ther sheep
11
of the lost t ribes of' Israel
were not
in
Palestine.
Some have thought the Gentiles represent he other
sheep. Yet,
iv
must be remembered that only the descendants
of Jacob (Israel) are referred to as SHEEP in all the Bible .
The Gentiles can obtain salvation through Christ but na t ional l y
they are never referred to as sheep (see Eph. 2:11-13).
Christ concluded
by
saying:
11
And there shall be
ONE f old, and ONE shepherd..
11
When \'1111 the house of Israel
AND
the house of Judah be
O~FOLD
and have ONE
KING
and ONE
SHEP.l-ERD? The prophet Ezekiel gives the answer (Ezek.
37: 22-23) .
Dav.idJ resurrectedf_ will be that KING with Christ
1
t he CHIEF
SHEPHERD (verses 2'+-26). Ezekiel
34:23 ,
Jeremiah
30:9,
and
Psalm
89:2.7
explain that David is to be RESURRECTED from
the
