Bible Question:
Makarios, greetings ! I am new to this study programme so need to get used to the format and how to go about dealing with the questions. So am I correct in my understanding of these verses inthat the believers are taken (as was Noah in the Ark) and the non-believers will be left on earth to suffer the consequences of their unbelief ?? I have been told before that the non-believers will be taken to Hell leaving the believers to meet our Lord but this does not make sense to me...do you agree ? Ken John. |
Bible Answer: Greetings Ken! Welcome to the Forum! The only people whom the Lord will put forth any effort in saving are the ones who have put their faith and trust in Him. The Lord is a just God, and He can't just wipe away the condemnation that unsaved people have justly brought upon themselves. Just as in the days of Noah, one will be taken and the other left.. I believe that the rapture will occur, where all of the believers in Christ are taken to be with Him. Then I believe that Christ will come and judge the earth, and the battle of Armagedon will occur. That is my honest opinion, and I don't expect people to agree with me. But I do expect people to agree with me that we must be ready before He does return to earth! Blessings to you, Makarios |
