Many think that the "elect" has only to do with the Jews"..

However, the "elect" are also NT Christians, also known as "Brethern". You'll notice in the scriptures posted below that the apostles are talking to "elect" believers, the Born Again.

Here are some NT verses that describe US, the born again, as the "elect", and there are all sorts of different contexts, include the born again "elect" being gathered into the sky.

Matthew 24:24

For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if [it were] possible, they shall deceive the very ELECT.

Mark 13:27

And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his ELECT from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.

Luke 18:7

And shall not God avenge his own ELECT, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?

Romans 8:33

Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's ELECT? [It is] God that justifieth. (BY FAITH)

Colossians 3:12

Put on therefore, as the ELECT of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;

Timothy-1 5:21

I charge [thee] before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the ELECT angels, that thou observe these things without preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality.

Titus 1:1

Paul, 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;

Peter-1 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.

Romans 1:22-23 Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

22 professing to be wise, they were made fools,

23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of fowls, and of quadrupeds, and of reptiles.


Amen!!!

Is he being a Fool for the Foolish Masses?
