בּחיר      Bet-chet-yud-resh     “house enclosed by the hand of the head”

Interesting word picture and word study. Can the “elect,” “the house enclosed by the hand of the Head,” in the gospel of Isaiah be different from the “elect” that Yeshua points to in Matthew, Mark, and Luke?  Can the “faith of  God’s elect,” which Paul claims to follow, be different from the faith taught in Isaiah’s gospel? Or Yeshua’s gospel?  Why does Peter call the strangers “elect”?
