Subject: understanding of these verses? |
Bible Note: In that case, read Gill's commentary again. ("You have scattered My flock and driven them away,) This refers to the pastors, priests and prophets or governors of Israel that are charged with scattering and driving away the Lord's flock, as cited in Gill's commentary. ("Then I Myself will gather the remnant of My flock out of all the countries where I have driven them) This refers to the gracious promises to the Lord's people, revealing God's sovereignty in their return from captivity, and, particularly with the future promise of the Messiah, as also cited by Gill. You may want to read more in depth commentaries at, http://www.ewordtoday.com/comments/ -it has many of the classic historically renowned commentators, Matthew Henry, Gill, Calvin, Wesley, etc. and, its pretty easy to navigate.
