Summary
This Sabbath Bible study argues that Yahshua never said 'church' but 'Ekklesia,' the Greek rendering of Israel's Qahal, and that He was announcing a government, not a building or meeting. It traces appointed judges from Exodus 18 and Deuteronomy 17 through Jehoshaphat, the keys of Isaiah 22, binding and loosing in Matthew 16 and 18, and the Acts 15 ruling. It rebuts the 'don't judge' slogan and teaches that the saints are being trained now to judge the world.
