Who are the avenged elect in Luke 18:7?
Whom does the Lord mean in speaking of the elect? It refers to the Jewish remnant during the Tribulation period, those who have believed in Christ for eternal life. God will avenge His elect people. This isn’t a statement about individual predestination to eternal life. It is just a reiteration that God has a chosen people, and He will do right by them. Also see these passages about the elect and Jewish people: Matt 24:22, 24, 31; Mark 13:20, 22, 27.
