Woe Be To The Shepherds of Israel (United States and Great Britian)

You Leaders(Shepherds) of the United States and Great Britian, had better read, understand, and heed the following Words of Wisdom.

"And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Son of man,
prophesy against the shepherds of Israel,
prophesy, and 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?
Ye eat the fat,
and ye clothe you with the wool,
ye kill them that are fed:
but ye feed not the flock.
The diseased have ye not strengthened,
neither have ye healed that which was sick,
neither have ye bound up that which was broken,
neither have ye brought again that which was driven away,
neither have ye sought that which was lost;
but with force and with cruelty have ye ruled them.
And they were scattered,
because there is no shepherd:
and they became meat to all the beasts of the field,
when they were scattered.
My sheep wandered through all the mountains,
and upon every high hill:
yea, my flock was scattered upon all the face of the earth,
and none did search or seek after them.
Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD;
As I live, saith the Lord GOD,
surely because my flock became a prey,
and my flock became meat to every beast of the field,
because there was no shepherd,
neither did my shepherds search for my flock,
but the shepherds fed themselves,
and fed not my flock;
Therefore, O ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD; Thus saith the Lord GOD;
Behold, I am against the shepherds;
and I will require my flock at their hand,
and cause them to cease from feeding the flock;
neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more;
for I will deliver my flock from their mouth,
that they may not be meat for them.
For thus saith the Lord GOD;
Behold, I,
even I, will both search my sheep,
and 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,
and will deliver them out of all places
where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.
And I will bring them out from the people,
and gather them from the countries,
and will bring them to their own land,
and feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the rivers,
and in all the inhabited places of the country.
I will feed them in a good pasture,
and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be:
there shall they lie in a good fold,
and in a fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel.
I will feed my flock,
and I will cause them to lie down,
saith the Lord GOD.
I will seek that which was lost,
and bring again that which was driven away,
and will bind up that which was broken,
and will strengthen that which was sick:
but I will destroy the fat and the strong;
I will feed them with judgment.
And as for you, O my flock,
thus saith the Lord GOD;
Behold, I judge between cattle and cattle,
between the rams and the he goats.
Seemeth it a small thing unto you
to have eaten up the good pasture,
but ye must tread down with your feet the residue of your pastures?
and to have drunk of the deep waters,
but ye must foul the residue with your feet?
And as for my flock,
they eat that which ye have trodden with your feet;
and they drink that which ye have fouled with your feet.
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD unto them;
Behold, I,
even I, will judge between the fat cattle
and between the lean cattle.
Because ye have thrust with side and with shoulder,
and pushed all the diseased with your horns,
till ye have scattered them abroad;
Therefore will I save my flock,
and they shall no more be a prey;
and I will judge between cattle and cattle.
And I will set up one shepherd over them,
and he shall feed them,
even my servant David;
he shall feed them,
and he shall be their shepherd.
And I the LORD will be their God,
and my servant David
a prince among them;
I the LORD have spoken it.
And I will make with them a covenant of peace,
and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land:
and they shall dwell safely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods.
And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing;
and I will cause the shower to come down in his season;
there shall be showers of blessing.
And the tree of the field shall yield her fruit,
and the earth shall yield her increase,
and they shall be safe in their land,
and shall know that I am the LORD,
when I have broken the bands of their yoke,
and delivered them out of the hand
of those that served themselves of them.
And they shall no more
be a prey to the heathen,
neither shall the beast of the land devour them;
but they shall dwell safely,
and none shall make them afraid.
And I will raise up for them a plant of renown,
and they shall be no more consumed with hunger in the land,
neither bear the shame of the heathen any more.
Thus shall they know
that I the LORD their God am with them,
and that they, even the house of Israel,
are my people, saith the Lord GOD.
And ye my flock, the flock of my pasture, are men,
and I am your God,
saith the Lord GOD."

[Yosemitest]

Send this to every Federal Offical you have.

As for you politicians that rob us blind,

God will reward you according to your works!

[montesquieu]

I’m sure Trent Lott and Cochran are feeling so proud of our friends from Maine. Mississippi would run them outta town!!

[prophetic]

Amen & BUMP

[Yosemitest]

I'm so disgusted with her, that if she were to come to Mississippi,

I'd pray the Lord called her home.

[huldah1776]

I like this one too,

Micah 3-And I said, “Hear now, heads of Jacob And rulers of the house of Israel.
Is it not for you to know justice? “You who hate good and love evil,
Who tear off their skin from them And their flesh from their bones,
And who eat the flesh of my people, Strip off their skin from them, Break their bones,
And chop them up as for the pot And as meat in a kettle.”
Then they will cry out to the Lord, But He will not answer them.
Instead, He will hide His face from them at that time, Because they have practiced evil deeds.”

But...is America full of His People? Will we not get what we ask for in consequences? Israel asked for a king, did she not?

[Aurorales]

Thank you for posting this.

Everyone please pray for our Country. It is the strongest, smartest, most important thing we can do!

And of course after saying your prayers, pick up the phone and tell our political leaders how you feel. They need to know we are watching and will remember their actions.

[Yosemitest]

The shew of their countenance doth witness against them;
and they declare their sin as Sodom,
they hide it not.
Woe unto their soul!
for they have rewarded evil unto themselves.
Say ye to the righteous,
that it shall be well with him:
for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
Woe unto the wicked!
it shall be ill with him:
for the reward of his hands shall be given him.
As for my people,
children are their oppressors,
and women rule over them.
O my people,
they which lead thee
cause thee to err,
and destroy the way of thy paths.
The LORD standeth up to plead,
and standeth to judge the people.
The LORD will enter into judgment
with the ancients of his people,
and the princes thereof:
for ye have eaten up the vineyard;
the spoil of the poor is in your houses.
What mean ye
that ye beat my people to pieces,
and grind the faces of the poor?
saith the Lord GOD of hosts.

Refer back to the article RUSH: There's a BIG IDEA AT STAKE in the Democrat-Caused Financial Crisis.

RUSH: This bailout crisis, my friends,
it is crucial I think here to understand the truth.
The policy perversions that led to this mess
began with the active connivance of the Clinton administration
and were perpetuated by leading Democrats in the House and Senate.
There were some responsible Republicans supported by the Bush administration time and again
attempted to avert the disaster they saw coming.
They wanted new regulatory agencies and so forth,
but their reform efforts were defeated in the House and the Senate.
Barney Frank in fact said,
"There's nothing wrong."
(doing Frank impression) "There's nothing wrong,"
is what he said.
Now, this emergency bailout friends can go either way.
It can fix the underlying problem
or merely represent another opportunity for another leftist hijacking,
and Obama and Pelosi are out there saying, they want oversight over this.
You know what that means?

Whenever this kind of money is going to be spent by the government on something,
Democrats are going to get their hands in it,
and they're going to reward people like ACORN.
They're going to try to.
They're going to try to build on their social programming and networking here
with this kind of money outstanding that is supposedly aimed at shoring up the US economy.
Now, McCain and Palin can claim to recognize the problem, and they can commit themselves to fixing it.
But they can't deliver the needed change on their own.
They need support in the House and Senate to do that.
Right now, there is no prospect of them getting that help,
not with Pelosi and that odious and compromised Barney Frank, Henry Waxman, Chuck Schumer, Christopher Dodd in the House and Senate leadership.
The names I just gave you have their fingerprints all over this.
Plus names that you were told of last week and identified last week:

Franklin Raines, Jim Johnson, Janet Reno, Jamie Gorelick.

It is a stain,
it is a stench,
and it is directly traceable to liberal Democrat policies and desires.
We know who caused the problem!
We know that we can only expect the change we need
by replacing them with congressmen and senators
pledged to a different course with a fundamentally different concept
of how the federal government can best serve the interests of the American people.
That's the change we need.
The change we need

is bye-bye Barney Frank.
The change we need
is get rid of Chris Dodd,
get rid of Nancy Pelosi,
get rid of all of these Democrats,
Chuck Schumer.
Get rid of all of these people.
That's the change we need, pure and simple.
Isn't it interesting that the mortgage debacle and the resulting impact on our financial markets is said to have begun with deregulation?
Ha!
And isn't it interesting that no one in the administration challenges this,
and of course nobody in the Drive-By Media challenges it,
and McCain doesn't even challenge it.
The reason is that we are witnessing the biggest nationalization of our economy since the Great Society and the New Deal,
and we are all on the sidelines as it happens,
and this is what I'm talking about
this very important idea
-- an idea that defines the greatness of this country -- on the line.
And that idea is that government is not the provider, the guarantor, the protector, and the redeemer for every living soul and institution in the country,
particularly in this case when the problems can be traced back to people in government.
Now the very people who created the problem
have set themselves up to be in charge of the whole program,
now blaming capitalism,
blaming the private sector for this.
The fact is this:
When Jimmy Carter was elected his first year, 1977,
he and the Democrat Congress put in place the Community Development Act,
and the purpose of this account
was to pressure private financial institutions to make risky loans to poor people.

That was the purpose.
These loans would not have been made based on any commonsense business model,
but the Carter administration decided to hell with business models
and use the law to pressure the issuance of these loans for the typical reasons liberals do these things:

to buy votes,
to create dependents,
and to create love and respect and devotion to the Democrat Party.
Groups like ACORN
-- which exist, by the way, in ACORN's case --
exist for the express purpose of committing voting fraud.
That's one of the groups that Obama, you know, worked with as a street organizer in Chicago.
Groups like ACORN and others were also behind this.
They allied themselves with the Democrats and the administration and Congress.
Now, ACORN is a "grassroots" group that is backing Obama for president,
they're close to him,
they were close to him when he was a man of the street agitating things in Chicago.
But none of this was good enough for the Clinton administration in 1995.

[Kolokotronis]

Here’s the thing...neither Snowe nor Collins represents a rightwing constituency. Both of them will continue to be re-elected as long as they choose to run because the people of Maine are behind them in overwhelming numbers. Their position on the stimulus bill is the position of their electorate. Now it appears that most of the opposition to the stimulus bill is from below the Mason/Dixon line. For a host of historical reasons, most over the past 30+ years having to do with energy issues, Maine voters and politicians have no interest whatsoever in advancing the agendas of Southern or Western right wing politicians. That’s the reality and there is absolutely nothing anyone outside of Maine can do politically to hurt either of these senators. In fact, there’s nothing anyone inside of Maine can do either. Both parties have tried with the same result.

[Yosemitest]

They rob us and our children blind, with this debt,
and there's nothing we can do?

Wrong!

We can support whoever runs against them!
