Matthew 7:15 "¶ Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves."
This verse tells us that the whole sheep herd will be caused to move in a direction by a voice, thinking that it is the voice of another sheep leading them. Jesus tells us that they are bound to be deceived by wolves in sheep’s clothing. What happen when a herd of sheep is suddenly scattered by something, maybe a predator, or an illusion of danger? Their natural response will be to flee in the direction where everybody else seems to be fleeing towards, as directed by the voice leading them.
