Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that enters not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
The thief comes not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry;But if he be found, he shall restore seven-fold; he shall give all the substance of his house.
The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery, and have vexed the poor and needy: yea, they have oppressed the stranger wrongfully.
And when he puts forth his own sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
So they are spiritual thieves and robbers and were caught in the act by God; which they were the messengers of Satan coming to condemn and deceive God's sheep, they shall restore to the sheep seven times over the sheep's confidence, which is to your completeness from all that they have. The sheep is God's people, but thank God, the sheep didn't hear them...Amen.
