What does the Bible say about the topic of election?
What is election according to the Bible?
And how does it compare to man’s view of elections?
Does it talk about voting in the Bible?
This brief video commentary focuses on exposing the confusion plaguing the American church today in the wake of the 2020 U.S. Presidential elections.
The New Testament contains 23 different references to the word “elect.”
In the Greek, the word is “eklektos” meaning to be “chosen,” or selected, for God’s divine purposes.
In every scriptural reference, Almighty God is seen as the “Elector.” The Bible never implies or infers that man is meant or intended to be an “elector,” particularly in his fallen state.

So too, the Bible does not specifically endorse electoral democracy, even though it has been embraced as “God’s idea” among modern American Christians.

It is the thesis of this commentary that the merging of the doctrines of men (Locke, Smith, Jefferson) with the revealed words of the Bible has led many Christians to erroneously conflate the “will of God” with the “will of the people.”
But the “will of God” and the “will of man” are two entirely separate things — despite what is being taught in many American pulpits.
Sadly, many in the American church have forsaken God’s Kingdom in preference for those kingdoms perpetuated by the “will of man.” The most recent example of this has been seen from the many Christians who have tied their wagon to the fate of Donald Trump. False prophets who falsely declared him as the “anointed” and “chosen” of God that would win a second term have gravely misunderstood the entire concept of election, as evidenced by this video.
