Dear Doves,

 

In Strong's Greek Concordance, the word 'ekklesia' (word #1577) is defined as "an assembly", and it is derived from the following two words:  the word 'ek' (word # 1537) which means "out of", and the word 'klesis' (word #2821) which means "a calling". Therefore, 'ekklesia' means "a called out assembly".

 

Christ's ekklesia, ie. called out assembly, is His Church/bride. His ekklesis are His called out ones who are His Church/bride. Jesus is going to call His ekklesia from out of the great tribulation on the Day of our rapture.

 

Revelation 7:14

"These are THE ONES WHO COME OUT of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb."

 

In other words:

 

These are the ekklesia who are called out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the lamb.

 

The great tribulation has NO EFFECT on His ekklesia because they are the ones who are called out of the great tribulation. Therefore, the great multitude who are standing before the throne and before the Lord while holding palm branches are His ekklesia or His Assembly who are called out of the great tribulation. Believe me when I tell you that you want to be part of that great multitude assembly.

 

 

According to Your Word, come for Your Ekklesia Lord Jesus!
