Clever. I take that to mean you have no earthly overseer such as the apostle Paul commissioned Timothy to set up.

And so began the battle between Jew and Gentile who would come out on top and carry that on. Kind of like when Judah broke away from Israel and both claimed their own 'Davids" and line to the Messiah.It was authorized by Jesus when he gave the keys to Peter. The Keys are handed on, intended to be handed on, intended until Jesus returns.
That's kind of what I mean.There is a head pastor of the assembly I am departing for soon...if that's what you mean.
So where did those Keys go?And so began the battle between Jew and Gentile who would come out on top and carry that on. Kind of like when Judah broke away from Israel and both claimed their own 'Davids" and line to the Messiah.

It may be telling, that the Kingdom never went digital.
Well.. still using keys.
Yes, this diaspora of electrons.Yeah, and I just got back from the meeting place...and everyone was leaving. Unbeknownst to me, they started a few hours earlier, because the pastor's daughter has wedding rehearsals this afternoon. So, here I am back with you all...so let's have some fellowship, huh! And since we are here (a sort of diaspora)...we can rest assured that our Overseer is the Adon Yahshua ha Mashiach and who are the earthly overseers...the moderators perhaps?
Yes, this diaspora of electrons.
I don't know if the moderators are actual overseers, but more like playground monitors.
At least I won't have to worry about my priest canceling mass tomorrow at our meeting place for his daughter's wedding preparations. He is celibate. As is the assistant. And the retired priest who helps out. I suppose other surprises could happen.
Good post. And you noted Eliakim, the secretary of Shebna in the household of Hezekiah. Shebna lost favor and so the keys were given to Eliakim instead."(3) In Revelation 3:7 Christ appears in the character, "he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key (singular) of David, he that openeth and none can shut, and that shutteth and none openeth." The idea is not restricted but indicates mastery over all things in the Messianic kingdom, its own operations and all forms of opposition. In the next verse, as a specific instance, He has set before the church at Philadelphia an open door (opportunity and progress) which none can shut. Compare as to this Ephesians 1:22.
(4) It seems to be taken for granted that Jesus, in Matthew 16:19, had direct reference to Isaiah 22:22, yet the passage is not Messianic except in a general sense and on the assumption that the power of Yahweh over the nations in the Old Testament is wielded by the Christ in the New Testament (see JEHOVAH; LORD). Eliakim is to have absolute power, holding the key of the house of David. The use of the words "open" and "shut," as well as the general conception, connects the passage rather with Revelation 3:7.
(5) Revelation 9:1; Revelation 20:1 are to be taken together. "The key of the pit of the abyss" in the hands of the angel or angels signifies, in these specific circumstances, the same power as that indicated in 1:18.
(6) In Luke 11:52 Jesus pronounces a woe upon the "lawyers" who had "taken away the key of knowledge" from the people, neither entering in nor allowing those about to go in, to enter. The knowledge of God and Divine things was in the control, in great measure, of these scribes. This connects the figure directly with the idea of Matthew 16:19, and the connection is emphasized by comparing Matthew 23:2 ff; and is made definite by the word of Jesus in Matthew 13:52 with which is to be compared Luke 12:42, where it would not be allowable, to suppose that Jesus meant to limit the idea of "the faithful and wise steward" to Peter. This passage with the references seems to be highly important for our subject."
Topical Bible: Keys
Luke 12
"“Lord,” said Peter, “are You addressing this parable to us, or to everyone else as well?” 42And the Lord answered, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master puts in charge of his servants to give them their portion at the proper time? 43Blessed is that servant whom his master finds doing so when he returns. 44Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions."
I guess it would depend on the answer to Peter's question above. Who is the faithful and wise manager? Have you lost your set of keys?
*Or should I say "your key"?
I have just purchased a used car that has keyless entry and keyless ignition as long as I have the fob with me. A whole new experience. I keep reaching into my pocket for the key, but I don't need to.Well.. still using keys.
Ah.The service wasn't canceled, it was conducted earlier than usual.
