Ezekiel 34:24

22 therefore I will save My flock, and they shall no longer be a prey; and I will judge between sheep and sheep.

23 I will establish one ^ashepherd over them, and he shall feed them—^bMy servant David. He shall feed them and be their shepherd.

24 And ^aI, the Lord, will be their God, and My servant David ^ba prince among them; I, the Lord, have spoken.

25 ^a“I will make a covenant of peace with them, and ^bcause wild beasts to cease from the land; and they ^cwill dwell safely in the wilderness and sleep in the woods.

26 I will make them and the places all around ^aMy hill ^ba blessing; and I will ^ccause showers to come down in their season; there shall be ^dshowers of blessing.

Ezekiel 34:24

I the Lord will be their God, and my Servant David a Prince - Here we find God and his Christ are all in all in his Church, and Jesus is still Prince among them; and to him the call and qualifications of all genuine pastors belong, and from him they must be derived. And he has blotted out what is called uninterrupted succession, that every Christian minister may seek and receive credentials from himself. Here is the grand reason why the uninterrupted succession cannot be made out. And here is the proof also that the Church that pretends to it, and builds upon it, must be a false Church; for it is founded on a falsity; an uninterrupted succession which does not exist either in history or in fact.
