Overview
There is a warning from God to the pastors that scatters the flock. There is judgment and destruction for those pastors who cause the flock to scatter and go against the things of God. These pastors were teaching idolatry and was unjust and unfair with their dealings with the people. For this, the God of Israel l dealth with their evilness.
God promised to bring back the flock that was scattered to their homeland. He promised to give the people pastors that would obey Him. He promised them a Righteous King from the lineage of David. The Righteous King will restore Israel to live in safety and peace. Jerusalem will have righteouseness bestowed upon her people once again.
The role of a pastor is serious business in the eyes of God. One should not take it lightly. Souls are at stake. Pastors should take their flock's interest to heart, constantly going before God, seeking His face for his/her flock. Pastors should not seek vain glory, nor seek to make the office of pastor a personal venue. If the pastor errors, God will deal with him/her. Our job is to pray for them.
