The Gentile Church has had nearly 1,900 years to fulfill that purpose of the Lord, and has not, can not, and will not. The reason, as has been revealed in the Restoring the Assembly video series, is because the Gentile Church is a manmade construct - not the original body organized and empowered by Messiah in the 1st Century. The Assembly of Messiah in the 1st Century was the Renewed Nation of Israel! To fulfill Messiah's prayer for His unified people will require returning back to the Renewed Israel, actually functioning as His nation! That means being actually united in holy array, all energized by the same Covenant and the same Commandments, by the same Spirit, under the same leadership, of that 1st Century Assembly. In short, Restoring Israel is Restoring the Assembly! - which is also the theme of tonight's presentation. Of necessity, that must look different in the real world than anything else that anyone living in this 21st Century has ever seen. For starters, a restored Assembly of Israel must be holy, so must succeed in dealing with the problem of wickedness in a way the Church never did and never could.
