ISRAEL AND THE TESTIMONY OF THE PROPHETS

 

People of Israel before Christ called "the society of the Lord" (Deut 23.3), which was the name of the Church of God in the Old Testament: "I proclaim your name to my brothers, in the middle of the MEETING to praise thee" (Ps 22). "In Church praise Thee" (Heb 2.12). Here we are talking about the place of Congregation, synagogue, the House of prayer.

 

When Israel sinned against God (books of Kings and Chronicles) he sent prophets to testify against them, to bring them to the obedience of God's law. Instructions sent by the Lord through the Prophet, called the TESTIMONY.

Evidence of these were addressed to the company of the Lord, i.e. the Church.

 

When Israel finally refused to take evidence and obstinately continue to discourage break the law, God deprived them of the spirit of prophecy. "And asked the Lord to Saul; but the Lord did not answer him. " (1 Sam. 28.6).

 

When Israel repent from our hearts and reclaim the spirit of the law, through the quality of returned again, as happened with the Apostles ( the descent of the Holy Ghost  -  Acts 2.1-47 ).

 

Instruction in the New Testament Epistles also has a certificate through the spirit of prophecy.
