What the Bible says about Congregation
(From Forerunner Commentary)

Psalm 24:6 Verse 6 tells us that Jesus Christ is the head of the church. It may not appear so at first glance, but remember that the church is the Israel of God (Galatians 6:16). Remember, too, that another name for Israel is Jacob. "Generation" is poorly translated; it should read "congregation." This verse, then, could read, "This is the congregation of those who seek Him, who seek Your face." This is telling us that, because Jesus died, rose, and ascended to heaven, it is now possible for there to be a congregation of those who seek His face—the Israel of God! Richard T.

Psalm 111:1 "The assembly of the upright" and "the congregation" are not necessarily different. It is a parallelism in which the one reinforces the other. It is very clear before whom God is going to be praised. John W. Ritenbaugh The Covenants, Grace, and Law (Part Ten) Related Topics: Congregation | Parallelism | Praising God
