I have not completed the reading of this material. However, I would like to read your commentary on the story of Esau and Jacob in Genesis chapter 25. Will you please send me this information? ASAP? Thanks.
Is-ra-el are all three Egyptian words for their gods. The heavenly God father pulled his people out of Egypt through Moses. God the father wants them to remember the roots they came from and their history. And how God showed His power over man!

The Word Ekklhsia

Hello,
The author of the article ?Finding the Church in the Old Testament:?
Remember, ekklesia is the same word that is translated as "church" in the New Testament. It is this same word that is used to translate the Hebrew word qahal, whose English translations are bold in the verses just provided. What we see is the same title given to believers from Genesis to Revelation. Above is only a small selection of passages from the Greek Old Testament known as the Septuagint. The Greek word is used many times over and often in direct relation to Israel. From beginning to end there is only one called-out assembly, they are known commonly as the church and to God as Israel.
Whereas the English word ?church? (the Lord?s assembly), which is derived from the Greek adjective ?kuriakoV? (the Lord?s), which is used in 1 Corinthians 11:20 in reference to ?the Lord?s supper? and in Revelation 1:10 in reference to ?the Lord?s day,?... more...
Jim, I think you are missing the point. Did you read the text on the link provided called What? Who is the Church? We are all aware that there can be evil assemblies but that is not what is being discussed here. John 20:16. In 20:1: Jesus saith unto her, "Mary". She turned herself, and saith unto him in Hebrew, "Rabboni" which means, Teacher (NAS). Mary symbolizes the body/assembly/Church. The passage here makes the point that the Church should be understood in Hebrew, or as the Hebrews understood it, may be a better way of putting it. understanding the depths of what a simple verse like verse 16 means can speak volumes in bringing the breached assembly together. I believe this is what is happening and proves that the time of the end are upon us.
