Strongs # 7121 in the Hebrew is where we find the meaning for "call". This word can be identified with #7122. This word means to encounter or to confront. So the idea is that when God calls us, we find ourselves in the presence of the King. In Acts chapter 9, Saul was called. He had to give and account and was then pressed into service.
Thank you for the post. I enjoyed reading it. I just wanted to add to the topic:
The Called...The Chosen...Who are they?
They are God's true and loyal followers in every age whose love for Him, whose commitment to His is too strong and deep to be shaken. God has always had a people, a people called to stand separate from error and compromise and lies and counterfeits. God has always had a people chosen to show and tell the world what He is really like, to defend and proclaim his truth. God still has a people today, standing in that long unbroken line of the faithful that began with Adam and Eve. God has a remnant today, and to His remnant people, God has given the urgent task of reaching out to the world with His good news of winning them to Jesus Christ so that when He returns soon to this earth they will know Him and be ready to meet Him. The Called and the Chosen, by Ken McFaland.
