From my letter to Bruce:

"2. The Greek word for "come out" shows that people are still arriving on the scene, which is different from the Church being gathered together in one event.  The following explanation is from my pastor who knows Hebrew"

Sorry, this should have read "Greek".  Although, my pastor does know both Hebrew and Greek. 

Speaking of my pastor.  I know I've shared before, but for those interested, Pastor Wayne has his own commentary of the whole Bible here:
