the hireling is the paid pastors, Them who preach only for the money! The sheep are the Faithful congregations of our Lord and Savior Jesus the Christ. The Pastors for hire flee when they see the Wolf coming. The Wolf catches the Pastors for Hire, & the Believers in Christ Scatter. (The Wolf is one of the ruling 7 Kings of the Dragon the Antichrist & the Beast with 10 toes
