Welcome to Bible mysteries.

What if there are secrets in the Bible the world doesn't want you to know?

You're listening to Episode 246, The Idol Shepard.

Now here are your hosts, Scott and John.

Thank you. Scott and John. Hello and welcome once again to Bible Mysteries podcast. I'm Scott Mitchell. And I'm John Potts,

and this is the show that talks about things in the Bible that the world doesn't want you to know.

Today we are going to talk about the idol shepherd. That's a very mysterious passage in the Bible

that I wasn't sure a whole lot of our listeners are aware of. Yeah, I've never heard that term before. So obviously, I need to do some more reading. I thought it was really interesting when you sent that title over to me and said, this is what we're going to talk about. I was like, this is going to be a good one for me. Not that I don't learn every time, right? But I was like, what is an idol shepherd? I never even heard the phrase. So here we go. It only occurs one time in the Bible, and I thought it's a very mysterious personage. So, John, we're going to dive into that today, but we want to remind everybody, if you've been enjoying our podcast, be sure to rate them, review them on whatever app you'd like to listen to.

Most of our listeners, we find out through our analytics or on Apple, but we have quite a few on Spotify and Google Play.

And if you do like it, just please rate us.

That would help us tremendously.

And John, speaking of that, why don't you go ahead and welcome our latest seekers?

I can do that. So our latest seekers, and they came to us in June of this year, and they are Marcy Caudill and Lisa Burr. And we want to say thank you to Marcy and Lisa for supporting this ministry. We appreciate it very much. We sure do. We appreciate you guys. We're starting to get an uptick and new subscribers again lately. We kind of took a lull in the spring, so it's good to see a little action happening

there. And of course, every one of you that does subscribe, you get access to our bonus content,

and you allow us to provide this content. So we appreciate you because we hear back from our people,

such as the testimonial we have

today. So John, why don't you go ahead and give us our latest testimonial?

Absolutely. So this testimony comes to us from Linda Rowland. And Linda says, I have been listening

to all of your podcasts for about three months now, and I am loving them.

I have been learning about dispensationalism and how God deals with each group of people differently.

I understand we are in the age of grace.

Also, the tribulation feels like it's just around the corner.
