The Lesson of John 10:16

“I have other sheep that are not of this pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd”… John 10: 16
(The New International version of the Bible)

The key to understanding this Bible versus are the works: flock, pen and shepherd. The shepherd is of cause Jesus Christ. For pen and flock we have to go to a dictionary to look it up. Flock is defined any group of people or animals that travel together. Pen is defined as a small yard with a fence for keeping any small animals enclosed.
As we get farther in living in Revelations, the populations of the World will get smaller and smaller. This will be due to the Horsemen of Revelations. There won’t be any big cities; only small towns. These towns are going to be like the medieval city states. They are going to be very self contain. Each is going to have its own character. Jesus is going to being all of them together. All the resources needed for daily live will be in walking distance from one another. Around the city will be some sort of fortification. This will be necessary to keep robbers out.
In its center, there will be a place of worship. Because, the people of the community will understand the importance of putting their trust in Jesus, people are beginning to hear His voice and understand what it is telling them. It is this voice that will guide the individuals. These individuals are in turn will build a new community.
These new community are all going to have one thing in common that is that they will follow the teaching of Jesus. Mankind will learn that in order to survive he must believe and trust in Jesus. Mankind is going to be helped by the Holy Spirit in this time of transition by reminding us of Christ’s teachings. The purpose of this is in John 1:12, “Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.”
