Christians are NOT the elect. Jesus had nothing to do with Christianity as he taught Torah Law. The elect are people that walk in his Law, statutes, and commandments - not to be confused with Jewish customs and traditions.
Also, we are NOT in those times. That period is a 3 1/2 year period. The markers are not in place for that time to start either.
Any preacher preaching we are in those times is truly an idiot.
