       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.
