Yes, no mystery.

The NT Elect (i.e. the Chosen) is/are the Church, comprised of saved Jews and Gentiles.

Only Jews who are in the Church through faith in Christ are part of the NT Elect.

Romans 8:33
Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.

Colossians 3:12
Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;

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;

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.

1 Peter 5:13
The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you; and so doth Marcus my son.
Years later, different writers, different contexts. Will you likewise argue that the elect means our politicians because of how we use that word today?

I'm talking about Jesus and His prophecies. What it meant in that time, to those people.

Much love!

If you have Scripture disproving what I've quoted, then please quote yours.

You haven't responded to what I wrote. At the time Jesus gave these prophecies, that was how the words were used.

Much love!

The NT identification of the Elect has never changed.

It was and is the true Church.

Personally I think what's called the "Historical Grammatical" hermeneutic is correct. This means that we should understand the Scriptures as the speakers and listeners of the day understood them, according to the use of the language of that time.

If you don't do the same, we obviously won't come to the same conclusions.

Much love!

There is no difference between Jesus' definition of the Elect, and the NT writers' definition of the Elect.

It was and is the true Church.

No there are plenty. You are just too scared and/or lazy to do your own homework. why should I do it for you? There are plenty of well-researched bible sites that show pre-trib rapture proofs so get off your lazy arse and do it yourself
More sentences where you can not back up your theory with verses.

NO I AM NOT. The pre trib rapture is where Jesus gathers His bride to heaven. To the Father's mansion IN HEAVEN. The end of the Trib is where Jesus gathers His elect Trib Saints to join Him IN JERUSALEM
Yes.
That is a gathering in heaven after the trib as matthew 24 depicts.
Mat 24 has two gatherings.
One before, one after the 7 yr trib.
