"EZEKIEL 34"!--Now Fulfilled!    DO1335   Dallas, Texas, 27/6/1971
--A Significant Prophecy Revealed Before Our Great Exodus from the U.S.A.!

         1. THE FIRST TIME WE RECEIVED THIS PASSAGE OF EZEKIEL 34 was when a dear sister in the Lord, who knew us & loved us, got it from the Lord, & the Lord told her it was for us & that it applied to us personally & our future ministry. She drove her car all the way from Florida to Texas, over a thousand miles, to tell us about it!
         2. At that time we didn't really understand it! We understood it partially & we saw how it could apply to us & somewhat fit our immediate situation, but little did I dream what deeper, greater, much more far-reaching meaning it had!--That it was really predicting the ministry which we were to have in the future & that it was literally for us personally, & a literal, predictive prophecy of what God was going to do with you in these last days, this last great & important generation!
         3. Ezekiel 34: "And the Word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man, prophesy AGAINST the SHEPHERDS of Israel, prophesy, & say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God unto the shepherds; Woe be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves!--Should not the shepherds feed the flocks?" The night this Jesus Revolution really began was the night we declared war on the churches & on education & on the God-damned selfish capitalistic System! (See No.1336.)
         4. Our first blast was at the FALSE SHEPHERDS! "Woe be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! Should not the shepherds feed the flocks? Ye eat the fat, & ye clothe you with the wool. Ye kill them that are fed: but ye feed not the flock. The diseased have ye not strengthened." Think of all the preachers & their God-damned churchianity! What did they do for the poor hippies & the poor kids & the poor young people? Huh?
         5. "The diseased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye healed that which was sick, neither have ye bound up that which was broken." They couldn't even deliver them from anything, much less from drugs! They didn't even try to deliver them from the God-damned educational system! They compromised with it & let them kick out the Bible & God, prayer & Christmas, & made it a crime to even talk about Jesus!
         6. "Neither have ye brought again that which was driven away." What drove the kids away?--All that pusillanimous, sickening drivel they were drooling from the pulpits! What kid would that ever appeal to? What kid would ever go for that kind of hypocrisy?--Huh?--A bunch of stupid idiots sitting like bumps on a polished log, all those nice little zombies who get lulled to sleep by all that lullaby music!
         7. "Neither have ye sought that which was lost: but with force & with cruelty have ye ruled them. And they were scattered, because there is no shepherd!" Picture the poor hippies, the poor youth of America who were trying to find the Truth!
         8. "THEY WERE SCATTERED, BECAUSE THERE IS NO SHEPHERD!"--Wandering around as sheep!--I'll never forget that night!--(Tongues & weeping.)--As I wandered those streets of Huntington Beach, disguised like a superannuated hippie or an over-aged beatnik to see what was going on, my heart broke & I wept for those kids! And the Lord spoke to me & called: "They have no shepherd!"--Scared me half to death!
         9. "And they became meat to all the beasts of the field, when they were scattered. My sheep wandered through all the mountains, & upon every high hill, yea, My flock was scattered upon all the face of the Earth, & none did search or seek after them." The poor kids today wander across the Earth & around the World seeking peace!
         10. "Therefore, O ye shepherds, hear the Word of the Lord! Behold, I am against the shepherds, & I will require My flock at their hand!" I'm going to hold them responsible for these poor scattered sheep!--Thousands & thousands of kids that are wandering across the face of the Earth, like wandering sheep with no shepherd!
         11. "And I will require My flock at their hand, & cause them to cease from feeding the flock." He's going to remove those false shepherds to where they're not even going to be able to feed them anymore! "Neither shall the shepherds feed themselves anymore!" They won't be around anymore! "For I will deliver My flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them."
         12. The churches have devoured them; the beasts of education have devoured them; the beasts of commercialism have devoured them! The dogs of war have devoured their very flesh! God damn it! It makes me so mad! If it makes me mad, think how angry it makes God!
         13. "FOR THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD: BEHOLD, I, EVEN I, WILL BOTH SEARCH MY SHEEP, & SEEK THEM OUT." Hallelujah! I know another passage somewhere where He says, "I'll send out searchers. I'll send out searchers to find My sheep!" Do you realise what that means? That's us! Isn't that beautiful? (Jer.16:16)
         14. "I, even I, will both search My sheep, & seek them out. As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered, so will I seek out My sheep, & will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy & dark day."
         15. "And I will bring them OUT from the people, & gather them from the countries!" What has He done? He brought us out of the System, out of the evil way & out of the countries of this World! "And I will bring them to their own land." God told us we were going to be a New Nation--not a physical land, but a new land, a spiritual land.
         16. "I will feed them in a good pasture", not only spiritually, but even physically, PTL!--"And upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be. There shall they lie in a good fold, & in a fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel. I will feed My flock & I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord God. I will seek that which was lost, & bring again that which was driven away."--Look at the young people & think of them as you read this.
         17. "And will bind up that which was broken, & will strengthen that which was sick: but I will destroy the fat & the strong."--The system-addict churchianity Christians & their false shepherds! "I will feed them with judgement! Therefore will I save My flock & they shall no more be a prey. And I will judge between cattle & cattle." His judgement's coming!
         18. "AND I WILL SET UP ONE SHEPHERD OVER THEM, & HE SHALL FEED THEM, EVEN MY SERVANT DAVID." How about that! Wow! Isn't that something? I didn't dream that this could possibly mean me! At the time I got it & when that dear sister brought it, I said, "Well, yes. Here's my little family & brother Josh, & yes, I am the pastor of this little flock & I will have the faith the Lord will use me to help feed them."
         19. I never dreamed it was going to be such a BIG flock! But He meant a lot more than just my little family. "Even My servant David, he shall feed them & he shall be their shepherd. And I the Lord will be their God, & My servant David a prince among them; I the Lord have spoken it. And I will make with them a covenant of peace, & will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land."
         20. "And they shall dwell SAFELY in the wilderness & sleep in the woods. And I will make them & the places round about My hill a blessing." He's going to make us a blessing! "Round about My hill"--this is symbolic of a power or a nation. Hills & mountains almost always symbolise nations in prophecy. We're just a little hill, but He's going to make all around us a blessing.
         21. "I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing." PTL! We've already been enjoying them, amen?--"And the tree of the field shall yield her fruit, & the Earth shall yield her increase & they shall be safe in their land."
         22. "And shall know that I am the Lord, when I have broken the bands of their yoke. And deliver them out of the hand of those that served themselves of them. They shall no more be a prey to the heathen, neither shall the beast of the land devour them, but they shall dwell safely, & none shall make them afraid." Praise God!
         23. "Thus shall they know", you children are going to know, "that I the Lord their God am with them, & that they, even the house of Israel", the true house, you, "are My people, saith the Lord God! And ye My flock, the flock of My pasture, are men, & I am your God." PTL? Hallelujah! Amen, TYL! Do you believe it? TYJ! Why don't you get excited? Think what the Lord's told you!
         24. (TONGUES & PROPHECY:) "EVEN AS JOHN THE BAPTIST CAME IN THE SPIRIT & POWER OF ELIJAH, even as I said, 'Behold, I send Elijah the prophet before the coming of the day of the Lord', even as I said I would send David in the spirit & power of David My servant: Even so have I done it, saith the Lord!" (Mal.4:5)
         25. (David prays:) We didn't do anything, YOU did it all, Lord. Thank You, Lord, for fulfilling this prophecy! Thank You, Lord, how You have already fulfilled it & how You are still fulfilling it, & how You will yet fulfil it!
         26. (Prophecy:) "I have welded My Moses & David together, in the volume of the book it is written of them, so have I done it." Hallelujah! TYJ! "And so shall I keep My Word & fulfil all that I have promised today, for I am thy God!"
         27. We thank You for this passage, Lord, & we claim it! We claim it, we appropriate it ourselves, Lord, in Jesus' name, & believe it, thank You, we trust in Thy Word, & we know it's going to happen! (& it has!--TYJ!)
