I can also assume, because it appears, that God is electing less folks these days. Realizing that he elected before time and that those elected were not chosen by works or their future works. God didn't look ahead to this generation and say, "these people are more sinful than the past generation so I'm going to pre-elect less of them."
Why do we know that? Because God doesn't use works as a basis for election. We just have to assume that as time progresses towards Judgement Day he will elect less people.
We aren't controlling when Jesus will return by increasing sin. God already knows when Jesus will return. If there will be less Christians as we progress towards Judgment Day, it's because God is electing less, not because of man's increasing sin.
