The Ekklesia Project - Episode 86

A freedman of God hosting a journey to discover the lost ekklesia of God.
As we continue this mini-series exploring how one obtains eternal life, in this episode we examine one of the primary new developments Jesus brought to the people of Israel (later, to be made available also to all Gentile peoples of God), that is, the New Covenant kingdom of God, aka, the ekklesia of God. This was the gospel of the kingdom of God being first introduced by John the Baptist and continued to be preached by Jesus as he repeatedly proclaimed, “The kingdom of God is at hand!” This New Covenant kingdom of God, as the image of the glorified Kingdom of God, is the centerpiece of the New Covenant in the same way as the Kingdom of Israel, as the shadow of the glorified Kingdom of God, was the centerpiece of the Old Covenant. Thus, not surprisingly, the primary command Jesus gave to his disciples was to seek the [New Covenant] kingdom of God, which is scalable on earth as a unified network of ekklesiai of God, as an image of the ultimate unified network of perfected ekklesiai of God, that is, the Grand Ekklesia, to rule as Queen, as an extension of her King, over a perfected Creation, to constitute the glorified Kingdom of God.
Accordingly, the narrow way leading to life in this New Covenant age runs right through the ekklesia of God, the very teaching and understanding of which has been lost and buried for centuries. It is the ekklesia of God that forms the body of Christ, further demonstrating why Jesus refers to himself as the embodiment of the New Covenant way of salvation (as we learned in the last episode), and further highlighting the preeminent and singular importance of this primary command of Jesus, as all other commands are complimentary and descriptive of the New Covenant kingdom of God to be sought and established on earth, as was accomplished in numerous cities by the Apostle Paul.
