Metaphors and Names of the People of God

There are over 100 of these in the Bible, so over the next 100+ days we will send out a new one to you.
Today's Metaphor: Assembly of Israel or Community of God's people
Concept: God Speaks to His People as a Community or Assembly, We are not alone in hearing the goodness of God, but it is for all of God's people.

1. Lev 19:1-2 AND THE Lord said to Moses, 2 Say to all the assembly of the Israelites, You shall be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy. AMP

2. Josh 8:There was not a word of all that Moses commanded which Joshua did not read before all the assembly of Israel, and the women, and little ones, and the foreigners who were living among them. AMP

3. Josh 18:1 AND THE whole assembly of the Israelites assembled at Shiloh and set up the Tent of Meeting there; and the land was subdued before them. AMP

4. 1 Kings 8:5 King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel who had assembled before him were with him before the ark, AMP

5. Neh 5:13 I shook out my lap and said, So may God shake out every man from his house and from [the exercise and fruits of] his labor who does not keep this promise! So may he be shaken out and emptied. And all the assembly said, Amen, and praised the Lord. And the people did according to this promise. AMP

6. Ps 68:26, Bless, give thanks, and gratefully praise God in full congregations, even the Lord, O you who are from [Jacob] the fountain of Israel. AMP

 Today remember God speaks to all who call upon Him and come to Him through Jesus Christ

John 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am athe way, and bthe truth, and cthe life; no one comes to the Father but through Me. NASB
