The earthly nation of Israel is not God's elect nation. God divorced them in the Old Testament due to their spiritual fornication. Their
special place with God ended then:

[Jer 3:8 KJV] 8 And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also.

[Jer 3:9 KJV] 9 And it came to pass through the lightness of her whoredom, that she defiled the land, and committed adultery with stones and with stocks.

Does God predestine people to be saved first

Nope, the below verses were directed to Timothy. Timothy, though (and because of) his Greek father, was a Gentile not a Jew. So, they cannot be referring to 144,00 Jewish male virgins (that is, not earthly Jews), but instead, are those chosen to salvation by God out of ALL "kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation", who God makes into the true spiritual Jews of spiritual Israel - the Israel from above.

[2Ti 1:9 KJV]
9 Who hath saved us, and called [us] with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,

[2Ti 2:10-14 KJV]
10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
11 [It is] a faithful saying: For if we be dead with [him], we shall also live with [him]:
12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with [him]: if we deny [him], he also will deny us:
13 If we believe not, [yet] he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.
14 Of these things put [them] in remembrance, charging [them] before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, [but] to the subverting of the hearers.

Which verses explicitly and specifically define, state, and tie-in the 144,00 to represent earthly Jewish male virgins as the elect?

You replied to the response I gave to the Matthew passage, not the Timothy one.

Thought I did reply to your Matthew passage- see the below. If earthly Israel isn't the Israel of God (given that God divorced it), then neither can the earthly Jews be the elect of God.
My point with 2 Ti 2:10 - 14, was to demonstrate that the elect are not solely the earthly Jews because Timothy wasn't an earthly Jew, yet he was nevertheless of the elect. Now, I don't mean to exclude all Jews from the elect because there obviously are some who are of it, but they are of the elect, well, because, God elected them individually into it just as He did with everyone who is elect.

So, I think it can be shown in/by the verses I provided, that the term elect can only mean those chosen by God to salvation (the spiritual Jews) and not the Jews of Israel.

This was my reply:
"The earthly nation of Israel is not God's elect nation. God divorced them in the Old Testament due to their spiritual fornication. Their
special place with God ended then:

[Jer 3:8 KJV] 8 And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also.

LOL You need to provide context to the text. Matt chapter one is the genealogy Of Jesus back to David as Luke chapter three is the genealogy back Adam.

In Matthew chapter 1 it the Line of David who are the Jews His People as Jesus said Salvation is of the Jews . In luke is is Adam which is not a Jew or hebrew but First man.

nice try.

Salvation is indeed of the Jews because to them were given the oracles of God but your response is therefore assuming that Christ died only for Jews which would be in contradiction of John 3:16 in which all of His people throughout the whole world and not simply one nation would be granted faith to be saved.

Jesus said in John 10:11-29 that He laid down His life for His sheep and then said some were not of His sheep. Did Christ die for those who are not His sheep and end up in Hell?

No, this is false. No such thing exists in the Bible, back to the drawing board for you :(

I know scripture inside out Charlie.

I've read the bible in two languages now ànd my father worked in a church.

Do you know what else he says about the wicked


But if a wicked man turns away from the wickedness he has committed and does what is just and right, he will save his life. Because he considers all the offenses he has committed and turns away from them, he will surely live; he will not die.
