Who are the other sheep referenced in John 10 that says, "I have other sheep that do not belong to this fold."

Let's  consider John 10:16 first. Who are the sheep? Well, it would be good to fix in mind that all of Jesus’ loyal followers are referred to as sheep. At Luke 12:32, he called those of his disciples who would be going to heaven the “little flock.” A flock of what? Of sheep. The “sheep” of the “little flock” will be part of the Kingdom in heaven. However, there are others, those with a different hope, whom Jesus also views as sheep.\n\nWe can see this in John chapter 10. After speaking about sheep such as his apostles whom he would call to life in heaven, Jesus added in verse 16: “I have other sheep, which are not of this fold; those also I must bring.”   Jesus was speaking of people having the prospect of life on earth. \n\nMany faithful ones in pre-Christian times, such as Abraham, Sarah, Noah, and Malachi, had such prospects. So we can rightly include them as part of the “other sheep” of John 10:16. During the Millennium, such faithful pre-Christian witnesses will be resurrected and will then learn of and accept Christ Jesus, becoming “other sheep” of the Fine Shepherd.\n\nSince the “other sheep” are “not of this fold,” they must be of another fold, a third one. These last two folds, or pens of sheep, have different destinies. The “little flock” in one fold will rule with Christ in heaven, and the “other sheep” in the other fold will live on the Paradise earth. Yet, despite being in two folds, the sheep have no jealousy, nor do they feel segregated, for as Jesus says, they “become one flock” under “one shepherd.”\n\nThese other share the same hope that King David did, which is:  \n\nKing James Bible  Psalms 37:9  For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.\n10  For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.\n11  But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.\n22  For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.\n\n29  The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.\n\n34  ¶Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.

You show the reason why God equates human beings to sheep...........it ain't cause they both have four limbs.

Jesus has the book of life.\n\nRevelation 3:05\nHe who overcomes will walk with me, dressed in white. I will never blot out his name for the book of life, but acknowledge his name before my Father and his angels. \n\nJesus is talking to the church in Sardis. But as well as all who follow in his name.  =)\n\nAlso in these scriptures as well... Jesus will be referred as the lamb with the book of life.\nRev 13:08\nRev 17:08\nRev 20:12\nRev 20:15\nRev 21:27

When I read in my bible in John 6:70 "Jesus answered them, have I not chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil? He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him being one of the twelve." Judas was hand picked just like the other twelve. There will always be a devil or somebody similar who will go the opposite of what thus saith the Lord all the time. Judas tried to stop Jesus in doing what was right. John 12:3-8 "Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odor of the ointment. Then saith Judas Iscariot Simon's son which should betray him, why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor? This he said not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief and had the bag and bare what was put therein. Then said Jesus Let her alone: against the day of my burring hath she kept this. For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always."\n\nWhenever you want to do the will of God the devil will always be there to stop you. Moses in crossing the Red Sea the devil was right there not only Pharaoh was right there with his men and army to stop him but the people who didn't have any faith after what God had showed them in Egypt. Jesus said in Matthew 13 about the tares and the whet. There will always be tares in whet all the time because the devil doesn’t want anybody to believe the word the bible. Luke 10:38-42. Again another example how one (Mary) was at the feet of Jesus and listening to his word, (Just like I am today in the bible the feet of Jesus listening to his word doing what the bible says) and Mary tried to stop her sister Martha and was upset about the worldly things of setting the table etc. Jesus told Martha Luke 10:41 "And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: But one thing is needful and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her." I read all over the bible that when Holy man of God from Adam and Eve and until today where doing the will of God the devil is always there to stop them. Jesus was tempted and was always facing rebuke from the serpent the devil. Jesus never listened to the devil he knew his bible as he was God's word in the flesh and he knew the writings of the Old Testament he didn't at all listened to the devil he just went on no matter what rebuking the devil. \n\nI face the same thing today with soph called Christians who claim they can't stop sinning, and they claim they can't be holy, (but they believe in holiness but they claim they can't be holy) and they claim they can't be perfect, (blameless doing what the bible says) and they claim they can't be righteous, they claim they can't be sanctified. The reason why they claim such stuff is because they have been seduced (bewitched) by the serpent that was talking to Eve and that came into Judas Iscariot and try to entice me in their false teachings. Paul said in 2nd Timothy 3:12 "yea, and all those who live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution." John said this in 1st John 2:26 "These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you. But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him." (The word) The bible was also written for those people who seduce me to their funny gospel. Christians today don't read their bible and they have been seduced and bewitched for centuries and are going to the lake of fire and brimstone because they deny what the bible says and go against the bible. We are told to come out from among those liars called church. Revelation 18:4-5 "And I heard another voice from hea

You need to extend the passage a little.\n\n Now Jesus and his disciples set out for the villages of Caesarea Philippi. Along the way he asked his disciples, "Who do people say that I am?" They said in reply, "John the Baptist, others Elijah, still others one of the prophets." And he asked them, "But who do you say that I am?" Peter said to him in reply, "You are the Messiah." Then he warned them not to tell anyone about him. He began to teach them that the Son of Man 7 must suffer greatly and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and rise after three days. He spoke this openly. Then Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. At this he turned around and, looking at his disciples, rebuked Peter and said, "Get behind me, Satan. You are thinking not as God does, but as human beings do." He summoned the crowd with his disciples and said 8 to them, "Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and that of the gospel 9 will save it. What profit is there for one to gain the whole world and forfeit his life? What could one give in exchange for his life? Whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this faithless and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of when he comes in his Father's glory with the holy angels." \n\nThis utterance of Jesus challenges all believers to authentic discipleship and total commitment to himself through self-renunciation and acceptance of the cross of suffering, even to the sacrifice of life itself. Whoever wishes to save his life will lose it . . . will save it: an expression of the ambivalence of life and its contrasting destiny. Life seen as mere self-centered earthly existence and lived in denial of Christ ends in destruction, but when lived in loyalty to Christ, despite earthly death, it arrives at fullness of life.\n\nWhat are you doing in your life that is self-centered or not in keeping with what the Master needs?

Revelation 14:3 says that there are 144,000 that have been bought from the earth.\n\nAdditional Details:\n\nThe little flock are the annointed ones who will rule as kings and priests over the earth; there are 144,000 of these as seen above. Compare Revelation 5:9, 10.\n\nThese are also the ones who stick with Jesus through thick and thin: “However, you are the ones that have stuck with me in my trials; and I make a covenant with you, just as my Father has made a covenant with me, for a kingdom”—Luke 22:28, 29.\n\nThey are to rule over the meek ones who inherit the earth as explained in Matthew 5:5 - "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth." See also Psalm 37:9-11, 29; Proverbs 2:21, 22.\nI think most people do not believe these last three passages.

"The firstborn of his herd, majesty is his. His horns are the horns of the wild ox. With them he shall push the peoples all of them, even the ends of the earth: They are the ten thousands of Ephraim. They are the thousands of Manasseh."\n\n\nI don't see the word UNICORN in this passage.   Looking real hard for something, huh?

13: And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem, \n14: And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting: \n15: And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables; \n16: And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise. \n\n\nWhat it says is:\nJesus went to Jerusalem when it was passover.  There were people in the temple selling things such as sheep and oxen, and there were people that exchanged money for people.  Jesus chased them all out and said the temple was his father's house, and you shouldn't sell things there.\n\nPretty straight forward!  I quoted the King James bible.

biblepreacher2,\n\nJesus was called a drunkard because He drank, and He also associated with drunkards. He was called a friend of sinners because He chose to hang out with sinners and tax collectors. \n\nThe Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, 'Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and "sinners." Matthew 11:19\n\nI have not come to call the righteous, but sinners. Matthew 9:13\n\nWith your professed belief, I don’t suppose that you will “hear” me, but anything is possible. Jesus died for your sin and someone must have associated with you and prayed for you or you would be like those that you shun. It is not Christian to circle the wagons or assemble inside the “fortress” of church and refuse to venture into the world to love those Jesus died to save.\n\nAs Christians, we must get out in our world. We are the light of the world. If all of the light is inside the church, why are we surprised that there is great, growing darkness outside? The book of James says that faith without works is dead. I would say that love without works is dead, too. Are we not violating the second commandment, “… love your neighbor as yourself.” and the Great Commission, when we stay inside the walls of the church? Jesus said that He can separate those who are going to heaven and those who are not by whether they demonstrate love for their neighbor. God looks at our heart, but as He looks at our heart if there is love for our neighbor, then it must find expression, or it isn’t love at all, is it?\n\nWhen the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, He will sit on His throne in heavenly glory. All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on His right and the goats on His left.\n\nThen the King will say to those on His right, “Come, you who are blessed by My Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave Me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave Me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited Me in, I needed clothes and you clothed Me, I was sick and you looked after Me, I was in prison and you came to visit Me.”\n\nThen the righteous will answer Him, “Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You something to drink? When did we see You a stranger and invite You in, or needing clothes and clothe You? When did we see You sick or in prison and go to visit You?”\n\nThe King will reply, “I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of Mine, you did for Me.”\n\nThen He will say to those on His left, “Depart from Me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave Me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave Me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite Me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe Me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after Me.”\n\nThey also will answer, “Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help You?”\n\nHe will reply, “I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for Me.” Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life. Matthew 25:31-46\n\nIt is not about you and me.\n\nWe’re already saved. We know Jesus. It’s all about introducing as many people as possible to Jesus. It’s all about ministering to the lost and the dying – for they will surely die without our witness.\n\nTwo Moravian missionaries felt that God wanted them to reach hundreds of slaves on a remote island with the gospel; however, the slave owner wouldn’t allow any Christian witness on his island. The two young men sold themselves to the slave owner, and

Jesus Himself asked Peter, "Do you love me?   ...then feed my sheep!"\n\nLove is not turning our backs to our brothers and sisters who do not know Christ (though it often times involves less conflict and persecution). That is the opposite of love (and it is sad that such apathy toward the calling to share the Gospel often comes under the deceptive banner of "tolerance").

Sorry, I'm gonna pull a Mainworry but this answers your question better than I could have hoped for\n\nParable of the Two Sons:\n\nJesus told a story of two sons.  A father asked his first son to work in the fields, and he replied, "of course I will!"  He then went outside and changed his mind and did not work\n\nThe father asked his second son to help with the fields, and his son relied, "No!"  but later felt guilty and worked in the fields.\n\nJesus asked, "Now, which son did what was right?" and the crowd replied, "The second one!"  Jesus said, "Ah, surely prostitutes and tax collecters will enter heaven before you do".\n\nAthiests are the ones who say "No" to God, but often do what is right of their own choice.  Christians are the ones who say "Yes" to God, but then act in the opposite manner as they should.
