The New Testament Ecclesia of YEHOVAH God has received a large
measure of the spirit of YEHOVAH God. And those in YEHOVAH’s Eccle-
sia are being prepared by YEHOVAH God through His spirit to be born into
His ruling family. They will restore His government on earth at the Messi-
ah’s and YEHOVAH God’s return!

16. Are those in the body or Ecclesia of the Messiah a part of the spiritual
household of YEHOVAH God? Ephesians 2:19. Who constitutes the foun-
dation of this building? Verses 19-22.

COMMENT: Paul here compares YEHOVAH’s Ecclesia to a building. The
Old Testament prophets -- along with the New Testament apostles -- form
the foundation of the true Ecclesia, with Yeshua the Messiah as the chief
cornerstone.

17. Did the patriarchs and prophets of antiquity -- those whom YEHOVAH
God called before the Messiah established his New Testament Ecclesia --
have access to the holy spirit? I Peter 1:10-11.

COMMENT: Notice that the “spirit of Christ...was in them." YEHOVAH God
gave a large measure of His spirit only to those whom He called to perform
special tasks. Those few had the holy spirit in large measure and will be
born into YEHOVAH’s Kingdom, as we’re clearly told in Hebrews chapter
11.

Likewise, those called into YEHOVAH’s Ecclesia today also have a great
work to perform. The Messiah has commissioned his Ecclesia today to pro-
claim the Gospel of the Kingdom of YEHOVAH God to the entire world of
Israel! (Matthew 28:19-20; 24:14.)

18. Are those in YEHOVAH’s Ecclesia also in training for responsibilities in
the Millennium? Revelation 2:26-27; 5:10; 20:4.

COMMENT: Spiritual Israel today is being trained to rule with YEHOVAH
God and the Messiah as a spiritual "kingdom of priests" when they return.
They will help restore the government of YEHOVAH God over all Israel and
teach the non-Israelite nations YEHOVAH’s wonderful way of life!

YEHOVAH God’s MODEL Millennial Nation!

YEHOVAH God reveals He has not forsaken His chosen people Israel. He
has not forgotten His covenant with ancient Israel. YEHOVAH God will yet
give all of Israel’s modern descendants an opportunity to live by His laws
though their forefathers failed for thousands of years. This time they will
