Who are the elect.
Rom 11:7-20
What? Israel has not obtained that which he looks for; but the election have obtained it, and the rest were blinded?
(According as it is written, God has given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.
And David said, Let the want of their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling block, and a rebuke unto them:
Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and make there burden heavy always.
I say, they have stumbled not so they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, to provoke them to jealousy.
Now if the scattering of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more to bring in their fullness?
If by any means I may provoke to copy me them which are my flesh, and might save some of them.
For the casting away of them be the bringing together of the world,
What shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?
For if the first fruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
And if some of the branches be broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were graffed in among them, and with them partakes of the root and fatness of the olive tree; Boast not against the branches. Becouse if you boast that, you are not of the root, but the root can be you.
Do you say then, all the branches were broken off and I have been graffed in.
Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and you are standing by faith. Don't be full of yourself, but fear: For if God spared not the natural branches, what makes you think he will spare you. There is goodness and severity in God and he will save All who come out of unbelief.
2Tim 2:10-19
Therefore I endure all things for the elects sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:
If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:
Because If we believe not, yet he remains faithful: he cannot deny himself.
The Lord's Approved Workman
Put these things in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers. Study (the bible)to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Continually turn away from profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness. And their words will eat you as doth a cancer.
Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the second resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
In a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; some used to honour, and some to dishonour. If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.
Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strife. And the servant of the Lord must not strive;
but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves.
It is God that hands out to them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth. That they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will...
Be a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness; In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto all according to the commandment of God our Saviour...
Be the elect according to the freely given word of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.
1Peter1:3-
A Living Hope
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy has brought us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fades not away, reserved in heaven for you, Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perishes, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
Whom having not seen, you love; in whom, though now you do not see him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
Luke 21:27-28
They shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for there redemption draws near...
Luke 21:12-19
But before all that, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues(church,) and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.
But it shall turn to you for a testimony. Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before hand what you shall answer: For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.
For my word you shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolk, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake. But there shall not an hair of your head perish. In your patience possess ye your souls..
"This is were a problem comes in for me, people say we can't be in revelation because they are not being persicuted maybe we can look in the mirror of Jesus and see why. Persicution - definition = program or campaign to exterminate, drive away, or subjugate people based on their membership in a religious, ethnic, social, or racial group: what if it also means to keep us from God, friendship, and family. To be to busy and confused, to do the right things so we leave it up to others?.. "
Luke 21:25-26
Because there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
(Did I mix it up or explain it. So;)
Epi 1:13-14
Christ who ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
Epi 4:30-32
Therefore grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
Rom 8:23-27
But not only they, but ourselves also, which have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man sees, why doth he yet hope for. But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.
Likewise the Spirit also helps our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself makes intercession for us with groaning which cannot be uttered. And he that search's the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God. Because all things work together for those that love God.
Phil 3:18-21
For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.
For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
