Hello

You said: "So we find that the elect were chosen BEFORE the foundation of the world and the Lamb was slain FROM the foundation of the world... and from that we can deduce that  God has made a distinction between believing Israel and the church, the body of Christ?? "

You are comparing the wrong two verses that show the distinction between Israel and the church, the body of Christ. I was contrasting the two passages below:

Matthew 25:34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

 1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

I was only showing how the verses in Revelation apply to Israel; it is Jews names written in the book of life. I was dealing with the passages that dealt with Israel first then the body in the post.
