How does YHvH define "church" i.e.Ekklesia ?

Or is it all those called out by YHvH ?

A study of the word "church", in the Koine Greek : Ekklesia.

Was the "church" started at the YHvH commanded
Feast day of Shavuot (pentecost) as some say ?

or

Did the "church" exist earlier ?

Using the LXX as a guide we see that the Ekklesia
is first used in Deuteronomy 4:10

NAsbU Deuteronomy 4:10 "Remember the day you stood before the LORD your God
at Horeb, when the LORD said to me, 'Assemble the people to Me, that I may let
them hear My words so they may learn to fear Me all the days they live on
the earth, and that they may teach their children.'

Whoa.. so your a Bible scholar! Any real Christian understands that the Old Testament Jews were ‘God’s people’ and therefore His ‘ekklasia’. Actually the Old Testament even refers to ‘the Church in the Wilderness’ (proof text on demand)

You are (may I say ‘typically’ for Roman apologists) dancing all around to answer the question I have now clearly put to you in two posts. Please put up or... stop posting your longwinded, intellectual, defenses of the indefensible. Please, answer my question... Still betting you can’t.

This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us:
