The purpose of elect is the glorification of God. It's not to add glory to the already perfect God, but to reveal His glorious perfections which manifest themselves in the work of redemption to angels and men, in order that in reflecting upon them felicity may be experienced.
It's purpose is, by glorifying and praising Him, to end with all things in Him in whom all things must end, and thus to afford Him all honor and glory.
The purpose is to be glorified in His saints, and to be admired in all them that believe- when he comes on that day to be glorified in his saints, and to be marveled at among all who have believed, because our testimony to you was believed. 2 Thess 1.
It is to the glory of His grace - to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved. Eph 1.
In reference to this the apostle claims: For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen. Rom 11:36.

And the dwellers on earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world will marvel to see the beast, because it was and is not and is to come. Rev 17:8.
For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ. Jude 1.
Predestination consists of two parts. Election and reprobation.
Predestination is eternal, a divine decree, and is immutable.
And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified. Romans 8.
