EXAMPLES OF ELECTION & REJECTION: EPHRAIM
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. Election And Rejection
a) We look at "God's purpose according to election" (Romans 9:11). When God elected one, he necessarily rejected the remainder of the group he chose among. This principle of ELECTION or DIVINE CALLING is a major thread running unbroken through the whole story of the Bible. It is important for Christians to understand how this principle relates to human choice and responsibility.
2. Examples Of Election And Rejection
a) Ephraim
i) Joseph had two sons in Egypt, Manasseh and Ephraim. The latter received the birthright blessing from Jacob (Genesis 48:14-20) . Ephraim's descendants became the great tribe of the northern kingdom (Isaiah 7 Ezekiel 37:15-22) . But "Ephraim is joined to idols" (Hosea 4:17) and God cut off Ephraim, fulfilling his promise through the house of Judah instead of Joseph.
