The seals of the Church are used by each Minister as a witness to the tutelary of the Church.
The central Tav is the last letter of the Hebrew alphabet and is the letter standing for Faith as well as the Sabbath which is the mark of God spoken of in Ezekiel.
And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof. Ezekiel 9:4
The Tav was a door way of faith through which the people must pass. There is another symbol that has come down through the ages called the Double Tav. It is written like the letter H.
Oikodomeo ekklesia refers in Greek to the words of Jesus proclaiming the intent to build and edify His house by the calling of the faithful. His house that stretches back to the foundations of the world, from Adam to Noah, Shem to Abraham, Israel to King David and to the Faithful Brethren.
Basileia Ouranos
is translated Kingdom of Heaven and is only found in Matthew. Matthew wrote in Aramaic. In translating from Aramaic to Greek the word malkuthach
becomes basileia ouranos, kingdom of heaven. It actually means a realm on the earth or a dominion. The
word ouranos in the book Plato’s Dialogues, Early Greek Philosophy is translated world, not some mystical ethereal or spiritual
realm called ‘heaven’. John Burnet states in the introduction, "…indeed we have no suitable word to express what the Greeks at first called an ouranos. It will be convenient to use the term 'world' for it".
The Kingdom of heaven can mean the Kingdom of the world since the same
word is commonly translated world by Greek scholars.
Ouranos, is from a root word meaning “to cover, encompass.” The meaning of ouranos includes the vaulted expanse of the sky, from the outer edge of the atmosphere to the center of
the earth. Many other cultures believed that if a man actually owned the land as a true and actual
dominion then he owned it from the sky above all the way to the center of the earth. This is clearly expressed in the maxim of the Roman law:
Libera Res Public is the Latin idiom for a repuublic in its purest form. It can be translated "Free from things Public". The Kingdom of Heaven on earth preached by Jesus and appointed to His called out, the ekklesia or Church, formed a viable republic in the heart of the Roman Empire, an ever increasing state of free souls under God.
Jeremiah 49:22 ... Behold, he shall come up and fly as the eagle, and spread his wings over Bozrah: and at that day shall the heart of the mighty men of Edom be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
Bozrah is the Hebrew word for fortress. Like the Hebrew word for garden in Genesis and a sheep fold in the new testament, it is a metaphor for an enclosure that protects.
... I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as the flock in the midst of their fold: they shall make great noise by reason of [the multitude of] men. Micah 2:12
And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, [and] one shepherd. John 10:16
