Jesus Has Other Sheep
I tell you the truth: I have other sheep that are not from this land. They are not from Jerusalem either. They are not from any place around there where I have taught. The people I am talking about have not heard my voice yet. I have never shown myself to them. But the Father told me to go to them. They will hear my voice. They will be counted as my sheep. Then there will be one flock and one shepherd. So I will go and show myself to them.
I tell you to write down these words after I leave. My people in Jerusalem have seen me. They have been with me while I taught. If they do not ask the Father in my name to learn about you through the Holy Spirit, and about the other tribes they do not know, then these words you write will be kept. They will be shown to the non-Jewish people. Through the non-Jewish people, the rest of your family who are scattered across the earth because of their unbelief can be brought back. They can learn about me, their Savior. Then I will gather them from all over the earth. Then I will keep the promise the Father made to all the people of Israel.
God Blesses Those Who Believe
God blesses the non-Jewish people because they believe in me. The Holy Spirit tells them about me and the Father. Because they believe in me, the Father says the truth will come to the non-Jewish people in the last days. This is because you, people of Israel, do not believe. The non-Jewish people will learn all these things.
But the Father says trouble will come to the non-Jewish people who do not believe. They came to this land. They scattered my people who are from Israel. My people from Israel were forced out. The non-Jewish people walked on them. The Father was kind to the non-Jewish people. But he judged my people from Israel. I tell you the truth: After all this, I caused my people from Israel to be hit and to have hard times and to be killed. They were forced out. They became hated. People made fun of them and said bad things about them.
Warning to Those Who Reject God
The Father tells me to say this to you: When the non-Jewish people sin against my good news and reject my full message, they will become proud. They will think they are better than all other nations and people on earth. They will be filled with lies and tricks and mean acts. They will be filled with fake goodness and murder and religious tricks and bad sexual acts and secret evil things. If they do all these things and reject my full message, the Father says he will take his full message away from them. Then I will remember my promise to my people, the people of Israel. I will bring my good news to them. I will show you, people of Israel, that the non-Jewish people will not have power over you. I will remember my promise to you, people of Israel. You will learn about the full message of my good news.
But if the non-Jewish people change their ways and come back to me, the Father says they will be counted as part of my people, the people of Israel. I will not let my people from Israel go through them and walk on them, the Father says. But if they will not turn to me and listen to my voice, I will let my people from Israel go through them and walk on them. They will be like salt that has lost its taste. It is not good for anything. It can only be thrown out and walked on by my people from Israel.
God’s Promise to His People
I tell you the truth: The Father told me to give this land to these people as their own.
Isaiah’s Words About Zion
The words of the prophet Isaiah will come true. He said: Your guards will sing out loud. They will sing together. They will see clearly when the Lord brings back Zion. Break out in joy! Sing together, you broken places of Jerusalem! The Lord has comforted his people. He has saved Jerusalem. The Lord has shown his holy power to all the nations. All the people on earth will see that God saves them.
