Who are the “elect”?
Hint; They are not the body of Christ.
The elect are Jews just as they were in Numbers 10:7 and Deut 30:4 and Isaiah 27:13, 45:4, 65:9,22.

Hint?

You have offered nothing in your reply to reply to. *sigh*

Hint: do a bible search on “elect” as written to early gentile church in non-Jewish lands.

I suggest you get a concordance and do a word study on the Greek word "eklektos", translated as elect or chosen, before you make such statements. It is used 21 times in the NT, and 3 refer to Jesus, 1 to angels, 11 clearly to the church, and another six in Matt 24 and Mark 13. NOWHERE does the NT clearly refer to the elect as the nation of Israel! The six mentioned previously you would argue refer to Israel to fit the pre-trib rapture doctrine, and I would say they refer to the church.
