In our Bibles today:
• Old Testament: Hebrew translated to Greek (Septuagint LXX) translated to English.
• New Testament: Greek translated to English.
• Studying the scriptures in their original language is key to understanding God’s plan of salvation for humankind thru Jesus (Yeshua).

Ekklesia = Assembly = Congregation = Church
• The same greek word Ekklesia is used in both the LXX and the New testament.
• Then why is it not translated consistently Assembly or Congregation or Church throughout the Bible?

Jesus was sent only to the house of Israel
• Jesus said: • Matthew 15:24 “I was sent only to the lost sheep
of the house of Israel.”• John 10:14-16 I am the good shepherd. I know my
own and my own know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep. And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd.

Conclusion
• In Jesus we (gentile) are grafted in Israel (Romans 11:11-24).
• When the fullness of the gentile has come in, then all Israel will recognize Jesus as Messiah and be saved (Romans 11:25).
• For God there is only one Shepherd Jesus and only one flock faithful Israel.
