The Elect

[guysmith]

Matthew 24:22
And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

It can be deduced, from the above statement, that the "elect" will be the only Christians alive at Christ's advent.

Matthew 24:24
For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

Isaiah 65:9
And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains: and mine elect shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there.

 

[JudaicChristian]

The Elect are in the first resurrection, and of the Elect who are alive and remain, they inherit the earth. But also the Elect who are alive at the end of the 1000 year reign, they are also gathered in the end. That is the time of the separation of the sheep from the goats.Hello Guy. MTAA

 

[veteran]

Unless one dies a natural death, or from some other cause, all alive on earth will go through the tribulation.

That means Christ's elect, and believers on Christ that fall away to deception by false messiah's working of great signs, wonders, and miracles, and non-believers who fall to that deception too.

When Christ comes, ALL will be resurrected to either one of two TYPES of resurrection (John 5:29). For those who remain on earth to that time, Christ's elect who are not deceived, and deceived Christians, and deceived non-Christians, they all will be changed to the "spiritual body" at a twinkling of an eye.

It is then that Christ will separate His sheep on the right hand from the goats on the left. The goats on the lefthand are the "dead" of Rev.20:5 that have spiritually dead souls, and will still be subject to the "second death" after the thousand years. Only Christ's elect will be of the "first resurrection" and will reign with Him during the thousand years.

It just says elect, doesn't say christian elect, for all you know it will be those who are wealthy or have military pull.

I thought we dwell in the house of the lord forever, where exactly do we think we are now? :verysad

The last time I checked we were on planet Earth and the red horse rider is riding hard. The red horse will continue to ride from now on, until all of the Muslim countries are destroyed. What a shame, and what a waste of life.
