I just did, in Matthew 24. God gathers HIS elect.Jesus was speaking to a Jewish audience in Matthew 24. His "elect" in Matthew 24 refers to Jewish and Tribulation believers after the Tribulation is finished. The Church had not yet been established at the time Jesus spoke to His disciples in Matthew 24 and Matthew 24 does not refer to the Church or to Christians.
Matthew 24 does not validate Calvinism.
