[American Constitutionalist]

They why would Jesus be talking to the disciples about the end times and the elect ?
Through out the NT we get terms as : i.e the elect, the chosen... and yes, of course that Israel is the elect, but, God graphed in the elect or chosen Christian gentiles into the tree of Israel, or, as in the " SEED " of the elect.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding you. But you pointed to specific groups i.e. homosexuals, feminists as being the ones to usher in the Anti-Christ. Of course they will be included but it’s an unfolding of prophecy.......no one segment is going to ‘usher’ him in. Unbelievers will ‘follow’ wholeheartedly. The persecution will be carried out by all non believers which of course will most likely include homosexuals, feminists but also includes neighbors, friends, relatives etc. It’s evil v/s good. What comprises the group of evil will be those who hate good and hate Christ. I’m no scholar but have studied the Bible (KJV) and that’s what the scriptures tell me.
