Shepherds of Israel had proven faithless to the people, the flock had been scattered; but now Jehovah will set up a Shepherd, "my Servant David." (Read Ezekiel 34:23-24) This, no doubt, refers to the Davidic Covenant and to the seed of David, the Messiah. Look up this series of passages: II Samuel 7:16; Psalm 89:20-36; Isaiah 7:13-14; 9:6-7; 11:1-12; Jeremiah 23:2-7; Ezekiel 37:21-28; Hosea 3:4-5; Luke 1:30-33; Acts 2:29-31; 15:14-17. All this reveals that the future blessing of Israel will come with the Messiah, David's Son. When the Jews rejected Jesus, they did not thwart God's plan or defeat His purpose for in Acts we read that He was raised from the dead to sit on David's throne, and He will return for that prupose (Acts 2:30).
