{Shall gather together his elect} (episunaxei tous
eklektous autou). This is the purpose of God through the ages.
{From the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of
heaven} (ap' akrou g(8873) he(9373) akrou ouranou). The Greek is very
brief, "from the tip of earth to the tip of heaven." This precise
phrase occurs nowhere else.
