Now- Tom, I know you know this, ...Part 3 LAST ONE! <br />Now- Tom, I know you know this, but for the sake of some who might not. A Multitude is at LEAST over 200 million people, and I have to think the term "great multitude" has to number way beyond that. How do we know? Because the Bible mentions the kings of the east marching with their army of 200 million. If that can be counted, one that can not be counted as in a great multitude has to number above that.<br />So, we know from the Bible, that more than 200 million will come to Christ AFTER the rapture of the church, and we also know from the Bible that many will come to the very end to see Jesus and the saints come to earth at the battle of Armageddon. <br />We know that not only will God annoint the 144,000 from the 12 tribes of Israel to witness to people, but there will also be the 2 special witnesses who are supernaturally protected from death until their appointed time when God will raise them from death after 3 days. We know that an Angel of the Lord (one of the 3) will go all over the world preaching the Good News. I think that because of the disappearances of the followers of Christ, then the supernatural ways of the Gospel being spread, there will be Billions of believers during the tribulation time, but not many out of those Billions will last until the last.<br />I pray people will come to know Christ NOW, but with the world population being what it is, and the amount to come to Christ during the trib time, and the huge numbers of Satan's armies- doesn't seem like a very big number will come to the Lord before.<br />This can't keep us from trying though. I don't want to have to account for someone who doesn't make it into the Lamb's book of Life because I had the opportunity to lead them or plant a seed and didn't do it!<br />Sorry Tom, seems like this is a whole blog post here!<br />I'm glad Sharon got out for a little while, it must have been a nice change for her- you both are always in my prayers! Have a Blessed week!!Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06778221847847541523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7809154325142515833.post-30319657234762385572010-10-17T22:01:53.182-07:002010-10-17T22:01:53.182-07:00Part 2
This brings me to your post now on the trib...Part 2<br />This brings me to your post now on the trib.<br />I have been warning folks of the coming days of Jacob's trouble for some time. I admit that some times I use it as an introduction to the Gospel, as so many are worried or scared of the way things are in the world, and Revelation shows so much of what is going on that people are listening. But again, they have a wait and see attitude. Much of my family is in this catagory as well. They see in the Bible where things are happening which is too much "a coincidence" with what's going on, but still can't let go of the pride of self reliance. Either that or fear because they may believe all the prophecies are going to come, but don't know Jesus well enough to ask Him to save them from it. They don't know how to trust yet- the same "I'll believe it when I see it" attitude of so many in His Day when they asked Him for miracles in order to believe as if Jesus was a magician!<br />It's the same now. Or else they are angry at religion, or churches. I can't blame them there really as so many churches have FAILED miserably in walking in Christ, let alone teaching His Gospel. From worldly behavior, the televangelist scandles of the past, the Catholic priests molesting, protestant preachers being caught with their pants down- folks see this as the hipocrisy it is, and are angry. They have every right to point it out- yet, they are angry at the wrong thing. They equate Christ with the church, so if the church (no matter the denomination) is full of hipocrites, then Christianity is a lousy religion. They dont understand that Jesus is NOT a religion. <br />Many people are going to be left behind, I'm afraid. And many because of the behavior of the church or the failure to witness. Most folks who think they are Christian leave the "preaching" to the Sunday services and never "go into the world" to tell the Good News. People have been lazy and led to believe it is the pastor's job, or the evangelists. They don'tunderstand (and I didn't either until a few years ago) that Jesus tells His disciples, and all Bible believing Christians ARE His disciples. If the Gospel message had have been left to the original 12 only, no one of us would have ever heard the Gospel.<br />So those who are left behind. How many will be saved afterwards? How many will be martyred for their new found faith in Christ? <br />Well the Bible makes it clear that there will be multitudes in heaven under the altar crying, asking when will they be avenged.<br />A great multitude "whose robes were dipped in blood". The number too great to count.Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06778221847847541523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7809154325142515833.post-69138038811091748572010-10-17T22:00:48.074-07:002010-10-17T22:00:48.074-07:00Tom,this is one of your best ones yet. I don't...Tom,this is one of your best ones yet. I don't know where to start lol. I did love the poem, and especially the last part which said every saint has a past and every sinner has a future! How true it can be!<br />Anyway, as to your question (or comment about people not doing anything about Christ when they hear)I have to sum up something I heard from one of my favorite pastors (Adrian Rogers) He said those who choose to do nothing choose against Christ. I happen to believe the same. When someone hears the Gospel and says, I'm not ready to choose right now etc. IS making a choice. And if that person happens to die in an accident or something, well, their choice of inaction ends up being an eternal choice doesn't it?<br />Sitting on the fence to "see who wins" is nothing but passivity- and passivity is not an option. Jesus says you are either for me or against me. Unsaved folks need to be shown that a "I don't know" is really against Christ. <br />Now, does that mean they dont have a chance later on to hear the Gospel some where else and accept it then? Yes, that's how it was with me. I was stubborn and it took a few seeds and waterings before I came to accept the Gospel Truth and Jesus as my Savior. It's like that with so many- but again, one never knows when their time on earth is done, and they may not have that next chance. <br />Those who hear but don't choose also have the risk of their hearts being hardened. The Bible warns of that as well.<br />It would be my hope to see folks who hear would make a decision then and there, but unfortunately it doesn't always work that way, in fact most folks I have witnessed to fall into this catagory. It's sad to me that I haven't lead someone to Christ yet, but I also know that it's not what I say- it's them denying the power of the Holy Spirit. It may be I will see some of them or all of them (I hope) in heaven some day- that maybe I planted a seed which someone else waters.<br />Sorry, but I have to do this in parts :-)Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06778221847847541523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7809154325142515833.post-3190484658496039682010-10-17T22:00:38.229-07:002010-10-17T22:00:38.229-07:00Tom,this is one of your best ones yet.

I believe that every person when they reach the age of accountability: and that varies with peoples mental capability and what they are taught from birth, that the HOLY SPIRIT reproves, convicts, them of sin, their sin, of Righteousness, JESUS and His Righteousness, and judgment to come. I believe HE makes it clear to them that JESUS can impute HIS righteousness to them if they believe in HIM and they can escape judgment. They may not know HIS name but if they believe what THE HOLY SPIRIT tells them they are saved but if not weather they have heard the gospel, or of it, or have ever seen a Bible or another Christian they are lost without an excuse before GOD at the Great White Throne. I do not believe anyone who comes to the age of accountability escapes judgment except those who do not have intellect enough to understand THE HOLY SPIRITS reproving and those who believe in JESUS for salvation.

I was just talking to my buddy from church whom I will see later-- going to teach/ show the younger boys how to correctly throw tomahawks at church-- SAFELY.<br /> Brother 'Joe' told me today that: 'IF a person has heard about the Gospel of Jesus Christ, yet does nothing/ takes no action, does not accept Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior-- and the Rapture comes--- THEY ARE LOST! Do you all believe this to be true??? This is very serious business!
