assembling doesn't require a building. this website is an assembly. but that assembly must meet in the name. that name is exodus 3:14.
meet means to come together, like harvesting. multiple forms, bodies being of one mind have one action, be it for good or evil. to divide is to conquer, bring about the fall of something. a house divided against itself will collapse.a house not built upon the foundation of love will eventually be flooded and swept away.
at the end of the age the wheat will be gathered and the tares be tossed in the fire. the tares will be those who will not be of like mind. they will not have respect because they will use differences in appearance to justify their bad fruit. they will not understand that this energy, this action is infinite. the differences can be destroyed, but that energy/action/spirit bears fruit, good or evil.
True, assembling together does Not require a building,
Even the word church is wrongly considered as a building when it is the congregation's people.
However, just as Jesus taught in the synagogues (buildings) those buildings served a purpose as a meeting house.
Also, I find the Temple in Jerusalem served as a meeting house for gathering together in worship.
At the end of the age (of badness on Earth) Jesus, as Shepherd, will separate people living on Earth at the separating time frame as per Matthew 25:31-33,37,40. The figurative humble ' sheep' can come through the coming ' great tribulation' of Revelation 7:14.
They can remain alive on Earth, and continue to live on Earth starting with calendar Day One of Jesus' coming 1,000-year governmental rule over Earth.
As for the figurative haughty 'goats' they will be destroyed forever - Psalms 92:7.
