How Traditions Read This Prophecy
Apostolic (Oneness) PentecostalGod promises to assemble the remnant of Jacob as a flock, and 'the breaker is come up before them... their king shall pass before them, and the LORD on the head of them.' The Breaker who opens the way and the King who leads them out is the Lord Jesus — the good Shepherd (John 10) and the King, the LORD at the head of His gathered flock. God Himself goes before His people in Christ.
