John 10:16

[biblebuf]

John 10:16 NAS

11 "I am the good shepherd ; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep. 12 "He who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, who is not the owner of the sheep, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. 13 "He flees because he is a hired hand and is not concerned about the sheep. 14 "I am the good shepherd, and I know My own and My own know Me, 15 even as the Father knows Me and I know the Father ; and I lay down My life for the sheep. 16 "I have other sheep, which are not of this fold ; I must bring them also, and they will hear My voice ; and they will become one flock with one shepherd.

The joining of the Jew and the Gentile. The Jews are God's chosen people and through the Jews the Son of David offered eternal life to the Gentile elect.

Hello BB

I see more to this verse, words mean things. Look at the word have,

I have other sheep

He is not talking about sheep He will acquire in the future, He is saying He has already acquired these sheep.
Twice He uses the phrase ' they will 'This term is an absolute, He did not say some might, or maybe they will.

Remember at this time the calling of the Gentiles had not began and Paul had not started his ministry to them.

 Hi , and John 10:16 ,  "  they shall hear  "  is  a verb  (  AKOUO  )   and is in the Future Tense , Actice voice and in the Indicative mood of Fact .

 #1 , These sheep are not Gentiles !

 #2 , Only Jews are called sheep !

 #3 , Do you see Paul call the Body of Christ Sheep ?

 #4 , These sheep are the Jews that enter the Millennium !!

 #5 , Jews are always separate from Gentiles , period ,  see Num 23:9  !!

Not so!


Rom 11:17 But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became partaker with them of the rich root of the olive tree, 18 do not be arrogant toward the branches; but if you are arrogant, remember that it is not you who supports the root, but the root supports you.

 Ephesians 1:4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love 5 He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will,

Note that Paul include himself, a Jew, with the gentiles.

You are grafted onto the Olive Tree and are joined to the promiss at the time your receive God's grace.

John 17:20 I pray not only for these, but also for those who believe in Me through their message. 21 May they all be one, as You, Father, are in Me and I am in You. May they also be one in Us, so the world may believe You sent Me.

 Hi , and what believers fail to see , is that Israel was set aside at the Cross and to day the message is the Grace of God as Acts 20:24 revealed to Paul .

 Rom 11:21   did not spare Israel and  were set aside , and any Gentiles that is grafted in can also be cut out .

 Glad to say that we are  "  in Christ  "   which you ahve failed to see and are  NOT  in and Olive Tree .

 The Body of Christ is not called an Olive Tree < period ,   dan p

"For I do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this mystery, lest you be wise in your own estimation, that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fulness of the Gentiles has come in; 26 and thus all Israel will be saved; just as it is written,“The Deliverer will come from Zion. He will remove ungodliness from Jacob.”  27 “And this is My covenant with them, when I take away their sins.”  28 From the standpoint of the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but from the standpoint of God’s choice they are beloved for the sake of the fathers; 29 for the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable," (Rom. 11:25-29).

Is your God a liar? If Israel is saved will they not be part of the body? John 17

Hi and in Matt 28:19 and 20 the 11 disciples were command to preach to all NATIONS/ETHNOS ,  have you seen any Jews going to the World as Gal 3:8 says , "  that in thee   SHALL   all nations be Blessed  " ?

 The word  SHALL  is in the  Future Tense  !!! 

 There are 4 verb tenses in Gal 3:8 !!

 "  Be blessed  "  is in the Future tense , Passive voice and in the INDICATIVE  mood of  FACT  , AND THIS WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED   during the 1000  reign in the Millennium where there will be Olive tree grafting  ,  dan p
