Centuries before the Good Shepherd would speak of the prodigal son, prophets were speaking to God's people in parables, stories using everyday objects to teach eternal truths to those in trouble. Often, these parables spoke to a bad shepherd, a selfish, blindly ambitious ruler who has led the people away into false worship of God, or even worship of false gods. The sheep suffer when their shepherd shows a wolf's heart, but the sheep also start to become wolves themselves. God will go to any length to recall the ruler and the people to a life of peace and prosperity rooted in right relationships with each other and God.

Sadly, a fallen ruler and people will go to any length to fulfill their own twisted desires. As days darken in Jerusalem, the prophets wear yokes of cattle and tell of the sordid acts of sinful sisters to try to make the chosen once again the faithful. Desperate times require desperate stories. Sadly, these don't prevent the king and the people's fall to the consequences of their own choices.

Beyond a fall into death lies hope of a rise into new life. The parables teach us that, through repentance and faith, all can share in hope of resurrection when God's breath touches the dry bones of our failure. The parables spoken by God's prophets in Jerusalem mean as much to us today as they meant to those who first heard them in a time of testing like our own.
