Election is typically defined today as; God chooses who's going to be saved. And some people will then, therefore, state what is probably an obvious corollary; he chooses the people that aren't saved, that go to hell or whatever. So you either have predestination, or you have double predestination. And I don't care about any of that, because I think it's a fundamental misunderstanding of election. If you raise the question; was Israel elect? It's kind of a no brainer, of course, they were elect. They're chosen. And then the other nations are not chosen. Should we define then election as salvation, so we can therefore assume that because Israel was elect, the Israelites were also elect, and then they're all saved, right? At that moment, you might have some kind of suspect that we might have a problem here. And they have a huge problem because there's something in biblical history called the Exile. Election is not about salvation. Those two things are not synonymous. I think we fundamentally misunderstood this. Check it out!
