The Enemy Within

When the Shepherd-King comes, he will save a remnant of his people from something and for something. Importantly, they will be saved not only from oppressive enemies "without," they will also be saved from their own idolatrous enemies "within." They must be delivered from both external and internal threats. The result is that they can then live among the nations, paradoxically, as both a force of renewal and a force of destroying evil.
