Summary: In Greek, the word we translate "church" means "the called-out ones" -- a special group with a special destiny. In Revelation 19:9, a voice from the throne of God says "Write: 'Blessed are those who are called to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb!' And he said to me, 'These are the true sayings of God.'" This special group of the "called-out ones" have an engraved invitation to the greatest wedding feast of all time.
