I believe (just a guess) some Christians are of the "elect", and
others come by free-will, I believe the "elect" are (unknowingly)
of Israel !

That might very well be the case. The tribes of Israel cannot all
have died out, so where are His People?

God only knows, all we can do is guess. I look forward to the day
when He chooses to reveal this to us.

What a day that will be... Oh yes, I am so much looking forward to
it, too!

Wouldn't it be neat to find out that you are an Israeli ? :-)

Oh, yes, that, indeed, would be very neat! :-)
My mother's first name was Ruth, by the way. She was born in
December 1926. But I think it was only the name that my
grandparents liked. My grandmother's first names were "Clara
Berta" lol It would be interesting to find out where my ancestors
came from. But I think I am not as blessed as you are. I would
really envy you for that if envy was my thing. The last I have
heard was that some came from Poland. I will ask my brother - he
seems to have done some research.

My dad's family line traces back to the Mayflower (the ship which
brought the "Pilgrims" one of the first European settlements in the
land which later became the USA !)... Dad's family name is Webb, I
forgot the first names, but my dad's family was the joining of two
Webb's (neither related to each other) in the first wedding to take
place in the colony ! In many Europian countries, as you may well
know, the last name "Webb" was a *very common* last name, based on
occupations like taylors, weavers, Ship sails,and fishing-net
makers.

Hey! The Mayflower sailed about 1620... So your ancestors came by
that ship already? Glenn, you are an aboriginal! ;-) Webb is not a
common name here... but "Weber" is, and it means "weaver". So maybe
this is the German variant. So you mean Mrs Webb married Mr Webb?
Strange... So you are a double Webb. My mother's maiden name was
"Bergmann" - that means miner. I know that some of my ancestors on
my mother's part were farmers, and one was killed with a hayfork by
a servant. A murder in my family - it was not the gardener. ;-) But
that must have been in the 19th century - or even in the 18th.

Love and prayers,

Same to you, and for you !

Thanks! It means much for me, Glenn. It is good that you are around
with your kindness here. You are a great testimony for Jesus.

*Blush*

Yes, I really mean that. If they only all were like you... This
world would be a better place.

Be blessed even more,
