God’s Election Expect What Is Known, The Rest Hope For What Is Unseen

Romans 8:20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,

English “the same in” was translated from Greek preposition 1909 epi denoting superimposition and English “hope” was mistranslated from Greek noun 1680 elpis being expectation in the sense of knowing God’s future plans. Greek noun 1680 elpis was mistranslated into hopein “To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory”.  I do not know exactly what my incorruptible, immortal, spiritual heavenly body is going to be; I do know God’s light/doxa/glory will be visible in it. I do know “the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded” by God through grammatical subjects other than God to protect the rest from Matthew 12:32. I know God’s “election” must cause some of “the rest” God “blinded” to consider the possibility that what they have been taught is not right, whereby God can reserve them to himself during this earth age or not all flesh shall be saved.
