“It is council of Apostles and prophets that is housed in the presbytery that you have access to the Bishop and deacon. The presbytery (priesthood) represents the Son, the Bishop is the Father, and the deacons are the parakletos, those who come along side to help, to aid and assist. Jesus then is the fullness of the Bishop, Priest and Deacon. Luke 1:68-69 says “Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited (episkeptomai) and redeemed his people, And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;” The word “episkeptomai” is make of two words: “epi” meaning to be above or over, and “skopos” meaning to peer or watch. Blessed be the Lord who has from above watched over and redeemed his people. This is the fulfillment of Psalms 106:4 which says “Remember me, O LORD, with the favour that thou bearest unto thy people: O visit (oversee) me with thy salvation (Yshuw’ah). It was the Father who Bishoped or visited his people with Yeshua! Jesus then is the foundation: Isaiah 28:16 say “Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation:
he that believeth shall not make haste.” The phrase “sure foundation” means to sit together as a council. Ephesians 2:20 says “And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;” Jesus is the corner stone of the Presbytery, the Sanhedrin of God. A living foundation, a living counsel, a priesthood after the order of Melchizedek.”
