What a great and merciful God we worship!! That some Gentiles will yet still be Saved AFTER the Rapture, but this is probably the few -- not the general rule of things, and those few will lose their heads to gain that after life on earth again. Yet they are a 'different class' of people. Those who believe now are NOT in that class.
Things are evolving quickly for me, at least, having been down by my old house for sale in Union Grove, WI, still for sale. I am determined to change my life and weed out things that I don't need or don't want, that would only slow me down and encumber me. Also looking to get back to the Gym U .P. here to strengthen my legs and knees, since it's relatively free for me. Learning to be satisfied with what I [we] have and take one day at a time. Per normal goofy human beings, just as Jesus said in the book of Matthew 24:37, 'Just as in the days of Noah, so shall also be the doming of the Son of man be.' 39. "And they knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall the also the coming of the Son of man be." The foot note of my KJV says, that this Last generation [now] will be totally unprepared for the coming of the Son of man [Jesus]. People are going to spend, spend, spend [just like obama's gov't] right up until the very end!!
Now, friends, I intend to vote for the Conservative candidate, but I am going into this scenario with 'eyes wide open' and the knowledge that whom ever wins, there still won't be a way out of the inevitable -- and the "God Factor" still remains the ONLY hope that I have.
And then, as I said before in the other post: We might not even see this next election, if the Socialists figure that the Conservatives might win-- 'Martial Law' just might be the case-- and we won't see another election!! And just think; with so close a race right now, how could so many ignorant people still exist in America who still want another 4 years of destruction of our society and culture ??? Wow! Heck! Why work when the other 50% of Americans are buying the lunch for those who refuse to work -- and Illegal Aliens !?? It's just a crazy, mind boggling scenario -- and only mirrors that same thing that went down with Abraham's nephew, Lot, in Sodom -- book of Genesis, where not even 10 people righteous could be found in the whole city! When people are that corrupt and EVIL, God knows their heart will never change... and we MUST know the 'mind of God' too, by reading His Word -- lest we also become decieved like the MAJORITY of mankind.
The Word, the Sword, my Bible, is my constant companion these days and I can't seem to get enough of it even on a daily basis. And since I planned to work all my life and retire to do what I want -- this is what I plan to do, plus share the Word of God -- the Gospel of Salvation.
The price of gasoline U.P. in Iron Mountain, MI., shot up to $4.19 per gallon this past week!! People will use what ever excuse they can to gouge/ rip off the working class. What's new?
Amid all the bad news, and the beginning of the hurricane season and poor crop harvests, Christians should still be so very happy 'to be in that number... when the SAINTS go marching in.'
Warm Regards, and God bless all my loyal friends in WI who have helped me see the light recently, to base my recent moves and ideas.

Gentiles Saved After The Rapture
Q. Can gentile people who miss the rapture still be saved during the tribulation? Thanks for any help you can give me with this question.
A. You may be reacting to the same eMail I got from someone teaching that no gentiles will be saved after the rapture. So let’s set the record straight once again.
According to Rev. 7:9-10 a large number of believers from every nation, tribe, people and language show up in Heaven following the 6th Seal judgment. Since they come from all over the world and from every people group it’s clear that many of them are gentiles who will have died for their faith. The Church will be raptured before the seal judgments begin so these martyrs are called tribulation saints by many scholars. And notice they aren’t described as kings and priests who will live in the New Jerusalem like the Church is. Instead, although they are not priests, they will serve God day and night in His Temple (Rev. 7:15). There is no Temple in the New Jerusalem (Rev. 21:22).
The logical conclusion is that they will have become believers after the rapture, perhaps as a result of seeing friends and loved ones suddenly disappear like they were told would happen. Realizing they’ve been left behind they will wake up to the truth and literally give their lives to the Lord. Although martyrdom is a hard way to go, in Rev. 8:6 we can see that the living who remain on Earth will soon envy them.
