The Church in prophecy

The term church (Anglo-Saxon, cirice, circe; Modern German, Kirche; Swedish, Kyrka) is the name employed in the Teutonic languages to render the Greek ekklesia (ecclesia), the term by which the New Testament writers denote the society founded by Our Lord Jesus Christ. The derivation of the word has been much debated. It is now agreed that it is derived from the Greek kyriakon (cyriacon), i.e. the Lord's house, a term which from the third century was used, as well as ekklesia, to signify a Christian place of worship. This, though the less usual expression, had apparently obtained currency among the Teutonic races. The Northern tribes had been accustomed to pillage the Christian churches of the empire, long before their own conversion. Hence, even prior to the arrival of the Saxons in Britain, their language had acquired words to designate some of the externals of the Christian religion.

You have GOT to be JOKING!!! Messias? Plural??? WHERE IN THE WORLD DID YOU THINK UP THIS HERESY??? There is ONE MAN, Jesus Christ, by whom we must be saved. No pope, no priest, no other person but Jesus the Christ Himself!!!

There is only one Savior!

Messiah (Or Messias.)

The Greek form Messias is a transliteration of the Hebrew, Messiah, "the anointed".

It is obvious that you've misunderstood, because it is the Greek word and as it used in the English sentence, IT IS NOT PLURAL!

Merry Christmas!

Excellent video.

Yes it is true, The Church is the continuation of the people (Kingdom) of God whom He (God) has led from Egypt through the desert to Canaan, and then by Kings and prophets until the insception of the new covenant by Jesus. Jesus, then by the new covenant founded the church which He promised to be guided by The Holy Spirit, and that He will be with, to the end of time.

The Church is therefore, The Kingdom (People) of God on earth.

Thank you again, my friend.

God bless you †

"Messias" is the Latinized form, "Messiah" is Hebrew. Just like "Isaias" vs. "Isaiah", "Elias" vs. "Elijah", and "Esdras" vs. "Ezra".
