You mean you never heard it before? Second time it happened here. I assumed most frequent posters here would know the term well.
It is, in short, the mainly lutheran view of predestination, which differs from the view of double predestination, held by many calvinists.

nah I just started studying the early church fathers since I joined the site earlier this year.
Before that I just read the Bible, prayed and went to church and Bible studies but didn't spend that much time in theology. At least not reformed Christian theology. I had exposure to liberal post modern Christian theology (the kind where you can have Christian witches, homosexual bishops, and Christian who say that they get more life advice from the Buddhist sutras then the Bible), new Age theology, Charismatic theology and such. Though in my heart I was troubled by their teachings, since they were my elders in the faith (in that I was newly converted and they claimed to be Christians for many years and claim to have a clearer understanding of the Bible) I kept quiet and study and pray.
Now I study because of my children for I would have them taught Truth and not lies, even though they are only 6 and 3 years old. I figured it will take a few years to sort it all out with the help of the Holy Spirit.

Yes, there are God's elect: 144,000--12,000 from each of the twelve tribes of Israel, but don't forget the multitude that no man can number that have made it through the great tribulation washed clean in the blood of the Lamb.
Revelation 7 KJV
9After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
10And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
11And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,
12Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.
13And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? 14And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
If it is a multitude that no man can number it has to be at least millions and millions, if not billions.
