This noun denotes a gathering or assembling together. In 2 Thessalonians 2:1, Paul refers to 'our being gathered together to him'—the eschatological assembly of believers with Christ at his return. In Hebrews 10:25, believers are warned not to neglect 'meeting together'—the regular gathering of the Christian assembly. The Spanish 'reunión' (meeting, gathering) and French 'assemblée' (assembly) both convey the collective gathering sense. The word emphasizes the act of coming together into one place, whether for worship now or the final gathering at Christ's return.
