"EVEN THE ELECT!"

Matthew 24:21-26                     (ESV)
"21 For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be.
22 And if those days had not been cut short, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short.
23 Then if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the CHRIST!' or 'There he is!' do not believe it.
24 For false christs and prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, "EVEN THE ELECT"!
25 See, I have told you beforehand.
26 So, if they say to you, 'Look, he is in the wilderness,' do not go out. If they say, 'Look, he is in the inner rooms,' DO NOT BELIEVE IT."



There is so much deceit in "this world" that one must be connected to the TRUTH to be able to readily discern the difference.  From the start, let me state, don't GET caught UP IN THE DECEIT.  Deceit is from the devil so we should not be shocked or alarmed that MANY believe the lies that the great deceiver promulgates. I understand that I am one that believes the Bible is literally true, so some will brush me off as being a Bible thumper!  But the answers given by the Bible gives me assurance that nothing that happens, whether I consider it good or bad, catches GOD by surprise!

in Matthew 24:24 JESUS, GOD IN FLESH, said "EVEN THE ELECT" would be lead astray, IF IT WERE POSSIBLE!  It isn't possible because JESUS says in John 10:28 "I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and NO ONE WILL SNATCH THEM OUT OF MY HAND."

The enemy, THE GREAT DECEIVER and the prince of "this world", never misses a chance to promote his leaders.  Unless we are connected to the TRUTH and can discern whose team a prospective leader is on, we are liable to be deceived by the enemy to support a member of his team!  Scripture gives guidelines for a leader, and not just a minister.  If we don't support, and elect, a Biblically sound leader, who are we going to follow?  The decision is ours, we can follow GOD, or we can follow the money (Matthew 6:24)!

We shouldn't be alarmed that so many are confused about who to support for President of the United States.  JESUS said "See, I have told you beforehand" in Matthew 24:25.  In the previous verses JESUS also said there will be a "great tribulation" but to "not believe it", meaning the deceit that will be fed to us by the enemy and his minions of "this world"!

The biggest thing we can do to make sure "EVEN THE ELECT" are not deceived is to MAKE CERTAIN OUR RESPONSIBILITIES ARE BEING MINISTERED TO APPROPRIATELY BEFORE HELPING WITH OTHER PEOPLE'S NEEDS!  We don't need to be trying to help others when we aren't fully connected to the Throne Room of GOD!  No candidate can provide salvation to anybody searching for the TRUTH!  If you aren't interested in the TRUTH, you may have something to be concerned about?  If you part of "EVEN THE ELECT" please make sure you reflect HIS guidance and direction in your decisions!
