The Elect One

There's an Old Testament prophecy in the book of Isaiah that is a prophecy of the Messiah.

Isaiah 42:1 Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.

The Messiah is the Elect One. This theme is carried farther in Isaiah.

Isaiah 65:9 And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains: and mine elect shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there.

 Those who are in Christ are in the Elect One and can be numbered in the Elect.
