When the Lord Jesus comes as the Shepherd to care for us, He comes also as the King to govern us.

The issue of the Lord's caring for us as our Shepherd, is that we obey Him as our King and come under His kingship and His throne within us. The Lord has a tenderness that can not be compared  to anything on this earth. But, he has a plan for us that needs to be understood and followed, before he can bring in the millennial kingdom. Ezek. 34:24, Footnote 1

Jer. 30:9 But they will serve Jehovah their God and David their King, whom I will raise up for them.

Hosea 3:5 Afterward the children of Israel will return and seek Jehovah their God and David their King, and they will come with fear to Jehovah and to His goodness in the last days.
