To the Shepherds

I posted this as a warning for the politicians, as far as I know, for the Philippines. However, sometimes God gives larger implications than I think or intend, so it might also be for the world.
I asked God to be able to do this, and the reading I read here in the video was His response.
I posted this on my facebook page. I also sent it to most people I knew with any political relevance. After a few days, I got this reading:
1 And the Word of YAHWEH was to
me, saying,
2 Son of man, prophesy against the
shepherds of Israel. Prophesy and say
to them, to the shepherds, So says
Adonai YAHWEH: Woe to the
shepherds of Israel who are feeding
themselves! Should not the shepherds
feed the flock?
3 You eat the fat and clothe
yourselves with the wool, you sacrifice
the fat ones, and you do not feed the
flock.
4 You have not strengthened the
weak; and you have not healed the
sick, and you have not bound up the
broken. And the banished have not
been brought back, and you have not
sought the lost, but you rule them with
force and with harshness.
5 And they were scattered for lack of
a shepherd. And they became food to
all the beasts of the field when they
were scattered.
6 My sheep strayed through all the
mountains and on every high hill. And
My sheep were scattered on all the
face of the earth, and none searched,
and none sought for them.
7 For this reason, shepherds, hear
the Word of YAHWEH:
8 As I live, declares Adonai
YAHWEH, surely because My sheep
became a prey, and My sheep became
food for all the beasts of the field, from
not having a shepherd, and because
My shepherds did not search for My
sheep, but the shepherds fed
themselves and did not feed the flock,
9 so, O shepherds, hear the Word of
YAHWEH:
10 So says Adonai YAHWEH:
Behold, I am against the shepherds,
and I will require My sheep from their
hand and cause them to cease from
pasturing the flock. And the shepherds
shall no longer feed themselves, for I
will deliver My sheep from their
mouth, and they will not be food to
devour.
11 For so says Adonai YAHWEH:
Behold, I Myself will search for My
sheep, and seek them out.
12 As a shepherd seeks his flock in
the day that he is among his scattered
sheep, so I will seek out My sheep and
will deliver them from all the places
where they were scattered in a day of
cloud, and thick cloud.
13 And I will bring them out from
the peoples, and gather them from the
lands, and I will bring them to their
land and feed them on the mountains
of Israel, by the ravines, and in all the
dwelling places of the land.
14 I, even I, will feed them in a good
pasture, and on the high mountains of
Israel their fold shall be. They shall lie
there in a good fold, and they shall
feed in a fat pasture, all the mountains
of Israel.
15 I will feed My sheep, and I will
make them lie down, declares Adonai
YAHWEH.
16 I will seek the lost, and I will
return the banished. And I will bind
up the broken, and I will make the
weak strong. But I will destroy the fat
and the strong, I will feed them with
judgment.
I just also recently met people from my family who are the children outside legitimacy, like me, whose stories are varied, but who are all not receiving their just inheritance. In any case, more than inheritance, I have this newfound desire to take care of them like a new family of mine, and in a sense they are the flock that was abandoned, not quite taken care of in equal measure.
In the sense of the country, my people, the Philippines, is in a sad state of affairs. Each branch of the government whether it be judicial, executive or legislative, is rife with people who are only in it to make money. They are not thinking of what is best for the country and my people. They are not thinking of how to give their best, but rather, how to GET as much as they can while in power.
17 And you, My flock, so says Adonai
YAHWEH: Behold, I judge between
lamb and lamb, between rams and hegoats.
18 Is it a small thing to you to have
fed on the good pasture, but you must
trample the rest of your pastures with
your feet? And have you drunk of the
clear waters, but the rest you must foul
with your feet?
19 And My sheep, what your feet
have trampled, they must feed on, and
they drink what your feet have fouled.
20 So Adonai YAHWEH says this to
them: Behold, I, even I, will even judge
between the fat lamb and the lean
lamb.
21 Because you have thrust with side
and with shoulder, and have pushed
all the weak with your horns until you
have scattered them to the outside.
22 I also will save My flock, and they
shall no longer be for a prey. And I will
judge between lamb and lamb.
23 And I will raise up over them one
Shepherd. And He shall feed them. My
servant David, He shall feed them, and
He shall be their Shepherd.
24 And I, YAHWEH, will be their
Elohim, and My servant David shall be
a ruler among them. I, YAHWEH, have
spoken.
Remember that the new covenant is such that the rulership of the messiach called David is given over to Zion in Isaiah 55:3. It is the mercies of faithful David that goes to Zion as well. )
25 And I will cut a covenant of peace
with them and make evil beasts cease
out of the land. And they shall live in
the wilderness securely and sleep in
the forests.
26 And I will make them and the
places around My hill a blessing. And I
will bring down the shower in its
season, there shall be showers of
blessing.
27 And the tree of the field shall give
its fruit, and the earth shall yield its
increase. And they shall be securely on
their land. And they shall know that I
am YAHWEH when I have broken the
staffs of their yoke, and have rescued
them from the hand of those who
enslaved them.
28 And they shall not any more be a
prey to the nations, and the beast of
the land shall not eat them. But they
shall live securely, and no one shall
terrify them.
29 And I will raise up for them a
planting place of name, and they shall
not any more be of those gathered by
famine in the land. And they shall not
any more bear the shame of the
nations.
30 And they shall know that I,
YAHWEH their Elohim, am with them,
and they are My people, the house of
Israel, declares Adonai YAHWEH.
31 And you, My sheep, the sheep of
My pasture, you are men. I am your
Elohim, declares Adonai YAHWEH.
Here YAHWEH defines exactly who all his sheep are. I wouldn't read the whole world into it, except this is the next reading that I got, and for the 3rd time as well in these days, which is why I can let you know that these things shall happen in my lifetime.
1 In the first year of Belshazzar, king
of Babylon, Daniel saw a dream and
visions of his head on his bed. Then he
related the dream, giving the sum of
the matters.
2 Daniel spoke and said, In my
vision by night I was looking. And,
behold, the four winds of the heavens
were stirring up the Great Sea.
3 And four great beasts came up
from the sea, different from one
another1.
4 The first was like a lion and had
eagle's wings. I watched until its wings
were torn off. And it was lifted up from
the earth and made to stand on two
feet like a man, and a man's heart was
given to it.
5 And, behold, another beast, a
second, like a bear. And it was
4 The first was like a lion and had
eagle's wings. I watched until its wings
were torn off. And it was lifted up from
the earth and made to stand on two
feet like a man, and a man's heart was
given to it.
5 And, behold, another beast, a
second, like a bear. And it was
established on one side, and three ribs
were in its mouth between its teeth.
And they said this to it, Rise up, eat
much flesh.
6 After this I was looking, and,
behold, another like a leopard, and to
it were four wings of a bird on its side.
And also to the beast were four
leaders. And rulership was given to it.
7 And after this I was looking in the
night visions. And, behold, the fourth
beast was frightening and terrifying,
and exceedingly strong! And to it were
huge iron teeth. It devoured, and
crushed, and stamped what was left
with its feet. And it was different from
all the beasts before it; and it had ten
horns.
8 I was thinking about the horns.
And behold! Another little horn came
up among them, and three of the first
horns were uprooted before it. And
behold! In this horn were eyes like the
eyes of the man, and a mouth speaking
domineering things.
9 I was looking until the thrones
were cast down, and the Ancient of
Days sat, whose robe was white as
snow and the hair of His head like
pure wool. His throne was like flames
of fire, its wheels like burning fire1.
10 A stream of fire went out and
came out from before Him. A
thousand thousands served Him, and
ten thousand by ten thousand stood
before Him. The judgment was set and
the books were opened.(Rev 20-11-15)
11 Then I was looking because of the
voice of the great words which the
horn spoke. I was looking until the
beast was killed, and his body was
destroyed and given to the burning
flame. (Rev 19:20)
12 And the rest of the beasts, their
rulership was taken away. Yet length
of life was prolonged for them for a
season and a time.
13 I was looking in the night visions.
And behold! One like the Son of Man
came with the clouds of the heavens.
And He came to the Ancient of Days
And they brought Him near before
Him.
14 And dominion was given to Him,
and glory, and a kingdom, that all
peoples, nations, and languages
should serve Him. His dominion is an
everlasting dominion which shall not
pass away, and His kingdom that
which shall not be destroyed.
(Ps 72:11, Phil 2:9-11, Dan 2:44)
15

I, Daniel, was distressed in my
spirit amidst my body, and the visions
of my head alarmed me.
16 And I came near one of those who
stood by and asked him the truth of all
this. And he told me and made me
know the meaning of the things.
17 These great beasts are four, four
kings; they shall rise up out of the
earth.
18 But the saints of the Most High
shall receive the kingdom and possess
the kingdom forever, even forever and
ever. (Rev 20:4-6, Rev 5:10, Ro 8:17)
19 Then I wanted to know the truth
of the fourth beast, which was
different from all of them, very
frightening, whose teeth were of iron
and its nails bronze; who devoured
and crushed, and trampled what was
left with its feet,
20 also of the ten horns that were on
its head, and the other which came up,
and before whom three fell, even that
horn that had eyes, and a mouth
speaking great things, and its
appearance was greater than his
fellows.
21 I was looking, and that horn made
kingdoms, and shall devour all the
earth, and shall trample it down and
crush it.
24 And the ten horns out of this
kingdom are ten kings; they shall rise,
and another shall rise after them. And
he shall be different from the first, and
he shall humble three kings.
25 And he shall speak commands
against the Most High, and he shall
wear out the saints of the Most High.
And he intends to change times and
law. And they shall be given into his
hand until a time and times and one
half time1.
26 But the court shall sit, and they
shall take away his rulership, to
exterminate and to destroy until the
end.
27 And the kingdom and rulership,
and the greatness of the kingdom
under all the heavens shall be given to
the people of the saints of the Most
High, whose kingdom is an everlasting
kingdom. And all kingdoms shall serve
and obey Him. (Dan 7:18, 22)
28 Here is the end of the matter. As
for me, Daniel, my thoughts terrified
me much, and my face changed on me.
But I kept the matter in my heart.
war with the saints and overcame
them, (Rev 13:7)
22 until the Ancient of Days came.
And judgment was given to the saints
of the Most High, and the time came
that the saints possessed the kingdom.
23 And he said, The fourth beast
shall be the fourth kingdom on earth,
which shall be different from all
kingdoms, and shall devour all the
earth, and shall trample it down and
crush it.
24 And the ten horns out of this
kingdom are ten kings; they shall rise,
and another shall rise after them. And
he shall be different from the first, and
he shall humble three kings.
25 And he shall speak commands
against the Most High, and he shall
wear out the saints of the Most High.
And he intends to change times and
law. And they shall be given into his
hand until a time and times and one
half time1.
26 But the court shall sit, and they
shall take away his rulership, to
exterminate and to destroy until the
end.
27 And the kingdom and rulership,
and the greatness of the kingdom
under all the heavens shall be given to
the people of the saints of the Most
High, whose kingdom is an everlasting
kingdom. And all kingdoms shall serve
and obey Him. (Dan 7:18, 22)
28 Here is the end of the matter. As
for me, Daniel, my thoughts terrified
me much, and my face changed on me.
But I kept the matter in my heart.
