Subject: Which saints will be left behind? |
Bible Note: Hi Bauhinia, I agree with you, however the problem arises concerning the order of events with regards to the saints that "had gotten the victory over the beast" and come out of great tribulation Rev.7:9,14. Rev.15:1,2. and also the 144,000 saints that are here during the wrath of God being poured out. Since no saints will be left, then the rapture must take place after these events have happened, if not saints must be left behind for these saints to be in heaven for the reasons stated. Thanks for your input. Yours sincerely M.Royal |
