Who Are The Very Elect?

Rom 11:1 I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
Rom 11:2 God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying,
Rom 11:3 Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
Rom 11:4 But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.
Rom 11:5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
Rom 11:6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
Rom 11:7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded
Rom 11:8 (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear unto this day.

Rom 11:4 But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.

What did those 7000 not do?

Rev 17:8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.

What do those that were written in The Book Of Life not do?

And when were they written in The Book Of Life?

Eph 1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
Eph 1:5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

When were these that are chosen predestinated?

These predestined ones are conformed to JESUS by GOD'S good pleasure!

And if they are conformed to JESUS, there is NO WAY that they would worship satan, right!

And who is it that CANNOT be deceived? Who is it that 'IF' it were possible that they could be deceived, but it is NOT possible?

Mat_24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

Can you tie all of that together and tell me who the very elect is?


A final thought on this subject:

Seven Thousand means 'Final Judgment' and 'Zadok', which also means that the elect can be any number and is likely large, but according to Ezekiel chapter five, is just a few compared to the overall number of GOD'S children. That being said, the Seal Of GOD is put into the foreheads of the elect at the fifth trump. This is going on now at this time.
Now, JESUS is Melchizadek, which means King Of The Just. The Just are the Zadok, which means elect. They are already justified (at the foundation of this world). So, if 7000 means Zadok and Final Judgment, then who are those that are active at the same time as the elect but receive final judgment?

Possibly the opposite of the elect?
Just a thought.

Rev 11:13 And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.


Reference: Ezekiel 5, verses 1 through 4.

Eze 5:1 And thou, son of man, take thee a sharp knife, take thee a barber's razor, and cause it to pass upon thine head and upon thy beard: then take thee balances to weigh, and divide the hair.
Eze 5:2 Thou shalt burn with fire a third part in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled: and thou shalt take a third part, and smite about it with a knife: and a third part thou shalt scatter in the wind; and I will draw out a sword after them.
Eze 5:3 Thou shalt also take thereof a few in number, and bind them in thy skirts.
Eze 5:4 Then take of them again, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire; for thereof shall a fire come forth into all the house of Israel.

Are you to limit 'election' to only one group?

There are actually 232 groups, but that is beside the point. The elect are the ones delivered up to give a testimony against satan. When those that aren't elect hear that testimony given by THE HOLY SPIRIT, those that hear it, hear it in their own language as in Acts 2. Then when they know they were worshiping satan, they will drop out of the one world system while still in the flesh and be saved because they wash their robes in the BLOOD OF CHRIST. This will help bring down the one world system. Then satan kills the two witnesses because he stresses out basically. That is breaking the rule that GOD gave him. The devil is told 'Don't touch those that have The Seal Of GOD in their foreheads'. When satan breaks that rule, that is what causes those days to be shortened.

 

[Kaycie]

There are many false churches out there but there's only one true church. So that narrows it down. And of them only a faithful few come on Sunday and Wednesday night. (I'm not saying at all attendance earns salvation, I'm talking about an attitude, I know some people can't go at these times). And of them only a few actively study their bible and worship God outside of the church building. And of them only a few would be willing to die for God. The strongest Christians are the elect, or very elect. Even out of this group some can be fooled, if it were possible.

I think the elect are all those that are in Christ.

I do too, I think the elect are all those in Christ. What I'm saying is just because someone warms a pew doesn't mean they are a genuine Christian. Jesus says not everyone who says to Me Lord Lord will enter the kingdom. What I'm saying is the elect are a smaller group of people than most think.

The 232 Leaders Of The Elect

All of the books of Old Testament were given to us as ensamples (or examples) or types of the end time. This is so that we know what to do in that evil day.
When we find a type, we usually look at the parallels as we are Blessed by GOD to understand them. In most cases we look at the main focal point of the parallel, but if we were to look deeper, it is also possible that we may be able to discern the very battles that will take place at the end time. Praise be to GOD and thanks for ever in JESUS HOLY NAME, Amen!

Notice in the following verse that the examples are written for us whom the ends of the world are come. 'World' in that verse actually means age. So these things are written for those at the end of this age, which is also known as 'The End Time' or 'The Latter Days'.

1Co 10:11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.

Jezebel was wife of king Ahab and she had 400 false prophets that could not stand against Elijah the prophet of GOD. Jezebel was basically in control of the kingdom of Israel because king Ahab was not a very strong king. She had sent a message concerning Elijah that she would have him killed by the passing of one day. Elijah did flee into the wilderness where he had a talk with GOD. GOD'S answer to Elijah is written in verse 18 of 1st Kings chapter 19 (below).

1Ki 19:14 And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.
1Ki 19:15 And the LORD said unto him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus: and when thou comest, anoint Hazael to be king over Syria:
1Ki 19:16 And Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel: and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abelmeholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy room.
1Ki 19:17 And it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay: and him that escapeth from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay.

GOD'S answer to Elijah regarding the situation in Israel:
1Ki 19:18 Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him.

Now, notice in the verses below that GOD is going to deliver the enemy into the hands of king Ahab. In this process, king Ahab numbered the leaders over the 7000 people of Israel. Keep in mind that in Biblical Numerics, that 7000 means 'Final Judgment' and 'Zadok'. The Zadok are the chosen ones. The Justified Ones. The Elect. If you are not familiar with this information, you may not understand the information in this post. Please refer to other of my posts or study the Bible for details.
To make the point though, I will simply say that 232 is a literal number, whereas the 7000 is the number of the Elect. Therefore there are 232 leaders over the Elect. There is much deeper information in these chapters that you can see regarding the end times, but it is not the purpose of this study.

1Ki 20:13 And, behold, there came a prophet unto Ahab king of Israel, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou seen all this great multitude? behold, I will deliver it into thine hand this day; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.
1Ki 20:14 And Ahab said, By whom? And he said, Thus saith the LORD, Even by the young men of the princes of the provinces. Then he said, Who shall order the battle? And he answered, Thou.
1Ki 20:15 Then he numbered the young men of the princes of the provinces, and they were two hundred and thirty two: and after them he numbered all the people, even all the children of Israel, being seven thousand.

Now, this is where we begin to see how the type in 1st Kings relates to GOD'S Elect at the end time. Now remember that Elijah had fled into the wilderness to escape Jezebel, wife of king Ahab. He was fearful because Jezebel had destroyed GOD'S Alters and HIS prophets. Feeling alone and in fear, Elijah speaks his heart to GOD. GOD lets Elijah know that HE has not forsaken Israel and that HE has 7000 men that have not bowed the knee to baal (which basically leads to or is representative of satan).
Now, in the verses below, notice how Paul says that GOD has not cast away HIS people which HE foreknew? Well, those that GOD foreknew are HIS very elect. They are the 7000 spoken of here. You can read of them in Ephesians, but they are mentioned throughout the Bible. You have to study with understanding to know these things.
Now, notice that Paul exactly compares the situation with Elijah and the 7000 that have not bowed the knee to satan with the 'election of grace'. So, if we look a little deeper, we can see that the election of grace will have the same structure as the 7000 that have not bowed the knee to satan in the time of Elijah. This would point out to us that there are 232 leaders of the elect.

Rom 11:1 I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
Rom 11:2 God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying,
Rom 11:3 Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
Rom 11:4 But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.
Rom 11:5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.

 

[posthuman]

1Ki 20:13 And, behold, there came a prophet unto Ahab king of Israel, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou seen all this great multitude? behold, I will deliver it into thine hand this day; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.
1Ki 20:14 And Ahab said, By whom? And he said, Thus saith the LORD, Even by the young men of the princes of the provinces. Then he said, Who shall order the battle? And he answered, Thou.
1Ki 20:15 Then he numbered the young men of the princes of the provinces, and they were two hundred and thirty two: and after them he numbered all the people, even all the children of Israel, being seven thousand.

Now, this is where we begin to see how the type in 1st Kings relates to GOD'S Elect at the end time.

so if you think these 232 servants of small-time governors of provinces (no doubt appointed by Ahab & Jezebel, noted prolific idolaters and priests of Ba'al) are a type of some kind of leadership of God's people, do you then consider Ahab to be a type of Christ?



i'm really not seeing it.

 

[InSpiritInTruth]

God's elect are those who are anointed of His Holy Spirit (sealed in the forehead)

Isaiah 42:1
Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.

1 Peter 1:2
Elect according to the foreknowledge 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.

This anointing of the Spirit was symbolized in Aaron and his sons being anointed with holy oil, (similitude of Christ and his elect)

 

[InSpiritInTruth]

Here's more on God's seal of His elect by the Holy Spirit.

In Revelation 7:2 another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the Living God. This imagery we have also see before in Ezekiel chapter 9 where Ezekiel saw in a vision six men with slaughter weapons in their hands; and one man among them had a writers ink horn by his side.

And the Lord commanded the one with the ink horn in Ezekiel 9:4 “And the Lord said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.”

The word “mark” in scripture can also be interpreted the same as the word “seal”. And so you might ask what is the seal or mark of God?

God’s seal in our forehead is His words written in our hearts and minds by the Holy Spirit. Here is proof in 2 Corinthians 1:22 “Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.

And also here in Ephesians 1:13 “In whom 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,” And also here in Ephesians 4:30 “And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.”

This sign of writing Gods word on your forehead was symbolized many times in the Old Testament. As in Deuteronomy 6:8 “And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.” And here in Deuteronomy 11:18 “Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes.”

 

[posthuman]

i'm really not seeing it.

why not 300?

The Lord said to Gideon, “With the three hundred men that lapped I will save you and give the Midianites into your hands. Let all the others go home.” So Gideon sent the rest of the Israelites home but kept the three hundred, who took over the provisions and trumpets of the others.
(Judges 7:7-8)

doesn't appear to be any less of a stretch to me.
plus Gideon is a bit more honorable of a man than Ahab, don't ya think?

 

[Kerry]

I would be more inclined to 24 and not 232.

yes. or 12.

but really, the body has one head, and the armies of the Lord one commander - Christ!

 

[veryelect]

so if you think these 232 servants of small-time governors of provinces (no doubt appointed by Ahab & Jezebel, noted prolific idolaters and priests of Ba'al) are a type of some kind of leadership of God's people, do you then consider Ahab to be a type of Christ?



i'm really not seeing it.

I hope that this will make you see it.

Note that these 7000 have never bowed to satan.
Also, note that there are 232 leaders of the 7000.
Also notice that this battle is against Syria and that THE LORD gives it into Israel's hand.
Then notice that the Assyrian is a type of anti CHRIST by reading Isaiah 14 below.

1Ki 19:15 And the LORD said unto him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus: and when thou comest, anoint Hazael to be king over Syria:
1Ki 19:16 And Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel: and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abelmeholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy room.
1Ki 19:17 And it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay: and him that escapeth from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay.

1Ki 19:18 Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him.

1Ki 20:13 And, behold, there came a prophet unto Ahab king of Israel, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou seen all this great multitude? behold, I will deliver it into thine hand this day; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.
1Ki 20:14 And Ahab said, By whom? And he said, Thus saith the LORD, Even by the young men of the princes of the provinces. Then he said, Who shall order the battle? And he answered, Thou.
1Ki 20:15 Then he numbered the young men of the princes of the provinces, and they were two hundred and thirty two: and after them he numbered all the people, even all the children of Israel, being seven thousand.

1Ki 20:20 And they slew every one his man: and the Syrians fled; and Israel pursued them: and Benhadad the king of Syria escaped on an horse with the horsemen.
1Ki 20:21 And the king of Israel went out, and smote the horses and chariots, and slew the Syrians with a great slaughter.
