Bible Question:
There is a belief that there will be a point of no return in the end times. A time when those unbelievers will want to come to God and He will harden His heart. I thought this only referred to those took the mark of the beast. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? |
Bible Answer: "Concerning your second quesiton about the impossibility of being save[d] during the tribulation period if one had heard the gospel before the rapture occurred--I taught this for many years but then discovered some new light on this subject while studying Acts Chapter 2. This chapter covers the tribulation hour and verse 21 dogmatically declares that 'whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved'. The text in II Thessalonians 2:9-12 in context sees the antichrist enthroned. Those who trust him (antichrist) and receive the mark because of the strong delusion permeating the world are the ones who are condemned. See Revelation 14:11. I hope this helps." |
