The Selection of the
Elect
by God
A Step By Step Procedure
PURPOSE
The purposes of this document are to: (a)
Once again illustrate the perfect coherence within the Holy Scriptures
if read and understood (1)
the way they were meant to be; and (b) Reveal to humanity how God
determines who makes up His Elect - all the way from the time He "... breathed into his face the breath of
life, and man became a living soul..." to the time just after "3
....he (satan) must be loosed a
little time."
before
the end of the Created Universe. [Gen. 2:7; Rev 20:3]
INTRODUCTION
In our document Creation vs Evolution - Part 2 (2) we explained that:
Man
seemed to have evolved essentially as all other species. Then, when God
deemed that "man" had reached "the right point" in its evolution,
He
breathed into a select group His Spirit. Now,
this select group of "man" (who had been another animal
species up to this point), became a totally different
creature: he was now
the Image of God, "...male and female
He created them."
Now God guided this
select group of "Adams and Eves" towards a special
place we know as Paradise or Garden of Eden. The rest of the non
selected
"mankind" remained outside.
At this point
we have the first, the fundamental, group of Elect - the "First Cut".
DETAILS
Once Adam and Eve, i.e. the selected group, broke their covenant with
God by falling
into
satan's trap, they were thrown out from
Paradise
to live among those
from whom
they had been selected. Nonetheless,
they were truly and uniquely
different - they
had been given the Spirit of God and had become living souls. As we
read in
Genesis Chapter 3:
21 And the Lord God
made for Adam and his wife, garments of skins, and clothed them.
22 And he said: Behold Adam is become as one of us,
knowing good and evil: now, therefore, lest perhaps he put forth his
hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for
ever...
24 And he cast out Adam; and placed before the paradise of
pleasure Cherubim, and a flaming sword, turning every way, to keep the
way of the tree of life.
In spite
of their fall,
God
continued to look after His remnant, since they now carried His Spirit.
Then, the colonization of the rest of the world commenced through
migratory waves composed of men and women created in His Image. Over time,
mankind proved to God, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that it simply
could not understand how God wanted it to live. Nor could
mankind subdue Creation in a constructive manner, as God had
intended.
Perhaps
living amongst (but not genetically mixing with) the non-selected
"mankind" was hampering His
people (the
descendants of the exiles from Eden) from fulfilling His Will.
Perhaps the interbreeding of the sons of God with the daughters of men
(3) was disrupting
the Divine Plan.
Obviously
it was time to purge the world of the non select ones, as well as the
descendants of the mixed breed [of sons of God and daughters of men].
Noah,
and what his story truly symbolizes, enters in the picture.
Regarding the Great Flood on an archeological/cultural
context....
Now, we have a further refined group of
Elect - only those who survived the the global cataclysm that is
symbolized by Great Flood - the "Second Cut".
Eventually God reduces the group of the Elect further by making a
covenant with Abram: 1 And the Lord said to Abram: Go forth out
of thy country, and
from thy kindred, and out of thy father's house, and come into the land
which I shall shew thee.
2 And I will make of thee a great nation,
and I will bless thee, and magnify thy name, and thou shalt be blessed. [Gen. 12]
That
is, Abram (who eventually was renamed Abraham) and his descendants
would now be the new Elect ones. Abraham begets Isaac; Isaac begets
Jacob and Jacob, renamed Israel begets
twelve sons - the foundation of the twelve tribes of Israel - the "Third
Cut".
Eventually, the tribe of Judah became the
new Elect group.
20 And it came to pass when all Israel heard
that Jeroboam was
come again, that they gathered an assembly, and sent and called him,
and made him king over all Israel, and there was none that followed the
house of David but the tribe of Juda only.
[1 Kings]
This is the "Fourth Cut" of the Elect - the tribe of Judah - now,
the House of Israel.
Then, Jesus,
the Messiah arrives in the scene. The Elect of the time - the Temple Masters and their
subjects - reject the Messiah and crucify Him. Once
the (then current) Elect rejected the Savior - the One Who would
have led them back to Paradise - God, once again, redefined who
was among the
Elect. Now, the Elect group would include anyone who
acknowledged and
received Jesus as the true Messiah. This was the "Fifth Cut"
of
the Elect.
Two thousand years go by, and, after a failed Evangelization, the world
is heading to its total destruction. Mary is sent by
God several times with instructions and warnings. The Temple
Masters of today (the Roman Catholic Church Administration) - like
those in the time of Jesus - ignore the
instructions and warnings
(4).
As a result, the world
continues to plunge into the abyss.
In one of the most comprehensive manifestations of Mary - Garabandal
(5) - She
announces that there is going to be a Warning
(6) from Heaven in an effort
for mankind - as a whole - not only Christians - to see the state of
its
soul and make the necessary amends. Then, within a short period,
a
Miracle/Sign
(7) will
confirm to all of mankind the reality of God and the Warning He
sent.
Regardless of the faith professed by individuals before Warning
and Miracle/Sign - those who acknowledge that said events were from God
and accept
Jesus as the True Messiah will now become the new Elect - the "Sixth
Cut".
The rest of humanity will be dispensed of [Rev 19: 16-21]
by the ensuing
Chastisement.
This will be a global cataclysm greater than the one symbolized by
Noah's Flood. However, as
God promised to
Noah, He will not use water again to cleanse the world of the
wicked.
Instead, He will use fire.
After the Chastisement, the Elect will live as we read in
Revelation 20:1-6. However,
".... when
the thousand years shall be finished, satan shall be loosed
out of his prison, and shall go forth, and seduce the nations, which
are over the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, and shall
gather them together to battle, the number of whom is as the sand of
the sea.
8 And they came upon the breadth
of the earth, and encompassed the camp of the saints, and the beloved
city."
[Rev 20]
Now, those who survive the last
onslaught of satan's snares will become the final Elect group - the
"Seventh Cut".
This Seventh (and final)
Cut of the Elect are those "...who had not adored the beast nor his
image, nor received his
character on their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and
reigned with Christ a thousand years." [Revelation 20]
The created Universe will
come to an end. This
should be during or about
the year 2,832 - or about 825 years from now.
CONCLUSION
Even though the
above illustration has been done with wide brush strokes, its Divine
coherence is breathtaking, and the Mercy
of God
beckoning us to do His Will. How can we not love He, Who loves us
with such
intensity?
