PLAINER WORDS ONLINE…  ANNOTATIONS ON THE PRE-MILLENNIAL KINGDOM OF GOD—PART 2
 
THE DAY OF JESUS CHRIST
 
The Day of Christ begins with the appearing (the epiphaneia) and kingdom (basileia) of Jesus Christ (2 Tim.4:1); and the blazing forth of the glory of the great God, even our Savior Jesus Christ (Titus 2:13). This is when the hope of the calling of the Mystery is realized. This is when our faith gives way to sight. This is the next event on God's prophetic clock. This is when Christ Jesus, in His role as the Head of the high calling, convenes [calls into session] His Ecclesia (Church) which is His Body. As the Great Convoker, He, alone, calls His Ecclesia into session. This marks His assumption of sovereignty over the nations. Individuals who have been “membered” into “the high calling of God in Christ Jesus” will either be raised out from among the dead, or will be changed from mortal to immortal, and will take their place, or station in His Government.
 
For two-thousand years, Christ has, silently, been building His Ecclesia (Church).  Ever since Acts 28, He has been calling and choosing those who are to be revealed as members of this present body of believers who are to be “called on high.”  He is, silently, calling and building His Ecclesia on the grounds of Present Truth. The religious Christian world is unaware of this. Most Christians believe He is active in building the visible church, and they are unaware that the visible church is the work and contrivance of men. We who have been “accepted in the Beloved” (Eph. 1:6) will “put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness” (Eph. 4:24).
