Church & Kingdom

Church = Ecclesia = The Called out = The Named
Kingdom of Heaven(God) = Realm of Heaven(God)


Jesus is the one who builds the ecclesia.


Question asked : Who am I?
Revelation given : the Anointed Son of God.
Revelation expanded : I, Jesus, will build my Church on the Huge Rock of the Anointed Son of God
Promises given : You have the power to bring Heaven on Earth which will even invade hell. M16

The Supreme One, Kurios,(grk)(Lord)(Master) added those who were being saved to the ecclesia. A4:47(para-NLT)

... having gone (as you go), then, disciple all the nations
(baptizing them -- to the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, 
teaching them to observe all [the precepts I have given you], .... M28(YLT)  

Kurios tells Ananias to go minister to the blinded persecutor Paul who was 
"to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:"

The remnant are those from the broken nation Israel under Roman occupation who, at the time of Paul, left trying to be justified by the Law, to be Elected by Grace. R11:5

The Gentiles were being saved en masse with the hope that more of Israel might be provoked to be involved in the Gospel of Grace.
