Bible Question:
Mark 4:11,12 and Is. 6: 9,10 Please give me commentary on the meaning of these verses. Thank you, spoontoss jmoney0409@yahoo.com |
Bible Answer: Most Christians assume Christ preached in order to save people. But if He did, He was not very successful! Only 120 were still His disciples at His resurrection. When tens of thousands had heard Him and been healed by Him, why so few? Because He is only calling His 'Elect' then and now. Matt. 24:24, 31; Luke 18:7; Rom 8:33 and many other places Rom 11:7 states clearly that Israel is blinded except for God's Elect! There are Firstfruits--God's Elect--and then a great harvest--after a thousand years of Christ's rule when ALL the rest of humanity will be resurrected and taught God's ways. Rev. 20:5-15. (Judgment is a process. See 1 Peter 4:17) |
