"Yahuah is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters" (Ps 23:1-2). Isaiah promises that the redeemed "shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun smite them" (Isa 49:10), and Ezekiel has Yahuah feed His flock in a good pasture (Ezek 34:14-15). The book reads Revelation 7:16-17 as the completion of Psalm 23, the Lamb Himself the ongoing source of nourishment and care. The Trinitarian claim that the shepherding Lamb must be Yahuah is answered by Yahuah Himself: "I will set up one shepherd over them, even my servant David" (Ezek 34:23).
