You wrote,[...who is included...]
What I have been writing about here is about faith. It was faith that moved the mountains together. It was faith that I came from one side to the other. It was faith that saved me from falling into the abyss. And it has been revealed to me that faith comes by hearing the Word of God. And it has ben revealed to me that the Word of God is within you, so that one can hear the Word wherever they may be, whosoever they may be. And it has been revealed to me that all we like sheep have gone astray.
So to reply to your querry, I asked the Rider for the same answer, and He said to me, "My sheep hear my voice."
