The Elect!

This group of people came up in my reading today....three times.....who are they?

One thing I know about them, is that people don't like to accept them as a group....people do not like to think that God has a group of people that He has "elected" or favoured.

These "elect" are the "people of God". What was going on behind the scenes to make us the "people of God" we do not know fully now, although it will all be revealed in eternity.

What I gleaned from my reading of Matthew 24 was that "for the sake of the elect (the people of God)" the days of tribulation at the fall of Jerusalem, and at the end of the world as we know it, will be shortened (v.22).

Secondly, in the end times there will be much deception and it will be so convincing that even the people of God will be deceived (if that were possible) - v.24.

Thirdly,when this world is wound up the people of God will be gathered and protected (v.31)

This is the time when we will all be given what we wanted....if we didn't want God to bother us....He won't...we will be on our own...just like we wanted. If we sought out a relationship and friendship with God...that is what we will fully enter into.

Have a great day,
