PAUL PERSECUTED THE LITTLE FLOCK
By: doug Date: January 25, 2026, 10:47 am
---------------------------------------------------------
I will show that there were two churches that for a time existed
together. There was a church in Jerusalem I call the temple
church, the little flock and the believing remnant of Israel.
This church had Peter and the eleven as their apostles. Then
after Paul's conversion Jesus revealed to him the church, the
body of Christ. Paul is our apostle in the body.
[Matthew 9:35 KJV] "And Jesus went about all the cities and
villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel
of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease
among the people.".........The gospel of the kingdom Christ was
that the time was fulfilled for Israel to receive their
prophetic Davidic kingdom on earth.
[Luke 12:32 KJV] "Fear not, little flock; for it is your
Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom."........the
little flock of believing Israel will be given the Davidic
kingdom on earth.
[2 Samuel 7:12 KJV] "And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou
shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee,
which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his
kingdom."
[2 Samuel 7:13 KJV] "He shall build an house for my name, and I
will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever."..........This
passage establishes that the throne of David will be established
forever. Christ will rule in David's throne in the millennial
kingdom.
[Exodus 19:5 KJV] "Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice
indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar
treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth [is] mine:"
[Exodus 19:6 KJV] "And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests,
and an holy nation. These [are] the words which thou shalt speak
unto the children of Israel............Only Israel was promised
to be priests and an holy nation...............[1 Peter 1:1 KJV]
"Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered
throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and
Bithynia,".........Peter is writing to the scattered little
flock believing remnant.,,...,,,,,,,,[1 Peter 2:9 KJV] "But ye
[are] a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a
peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him
who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous
light:"...........Peter is saying the scattered little flock
will be the priesthood and holy nation promised in Exodus
19:5-6. Paul never applies this to the body of Christ; he never
says the body of Christ will be a holy nation or a priesthood.
[Galatians 1:13 KJV] "For ye have heard of my conversation in
time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I
persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:".........The church
of God Paul persecuted was not the body of Christ. The body of
Christ revealed to Paul by Jesus wasn't yet
revealed.............[Acts 7:58 KJV] "And cast [him] out of the
city, and stoned [him]: and the witnesses laid down their
clothes at a young man's feet, whose name was Saul."
[Acts 7:59 KJV] "And they stoned Stephen, calling upon [God],
and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit."[Acts 8:1 KJV] "And
Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a
great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and
they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea
and Samaria, except the apostles."
[Acts 11:19 KJV] "Now they which were scattered abroad upon the
persecution that arose about Stephen travelled as far as
Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but
unto the Jews only.".........Paul(Saul) consented to Stephen's
death and Paul's persecution of the little flock resulted in
them being scattered.
[Psalm 44:11 KJV] "Thou hast given us like sheep [appointed] for
meat; and hast scattered us among the heathen."............God
scattered Israel.
[Joel 3:2 KJV] "I will also gather all nations, and will bring
them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with
them there for my people and [for] my heritage Israel, whom they
have scattered among the nations, and parted my land."
[Matthew 9:36 KJV] "But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved
with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were
scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd."
[John 11:52 KJV] "And not for that nation only, but that also he
should gather together in one the children of God that were
scattered abroad."..........Scripture describes the children of
God, Israel, as being scattered as can be seen in
James..........[James 1:1 KJV] "James, a servant of God and of
the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered
abroad, greeting."
The church that Paul persecuted can only be the little flock
that was scattered. The believing remnant of Israel were
scattered. This was the only church that existed for Paul to
persecute, the body of Christ was yet to be revealed. The church
under Peter was primarily composed of believing Jews. Gentiles
weren't included, for the most part, until Acts 10. Nowhere in
scripture is the body of Christ said to be scattered. The only
entity that was scattered was the believing remnant of Israel.
