Throughout the history of God’s dealings with His people, true and false shepherds coexisted, the false shepherds whom Jesus described as hirelings only vied for the sheep’s loyalty for ulterior and selfish motives. They do not care for the flock but like ravening wolves feed on them instead. Just as there were false shepherds in the Ancient Israel during the time of Ezekiel, Elijah and Isaiah, there are existences of purported and ungodly shepherds in the church today who deceive, exploit and even hypnotize multitudes of people who remain ignorant, confused, or indifferent concerning the type of teachers, pastors, or religious leaders, under whose care they should be. In this study we will look at the characters of a false shepherd drawing upon examples and references as found in the Scripture.
