Hello John and Doves,
Just having some fun with these numbers but they are sobering. There are several web sites telling of NDE's (near death experiences) where the Lord has shown glimpses of Heaven and or Hell and most of the accounts are the same. One sobering event I noticed was a few times the Lord showed the visitor the amount of people going to Heaven verses Hell, and that number seemed to be the same 2  1/2 to 3 %. This number  2 or 3 out of every 100 should make anyone just cry. The population of the Earth last time I checked was 6 billion ( probably more  now ) alive, so that would be 150-180 million alive going to heaven. I'll use 170 million because the population is a little more and I hope the 2 1/2 - 3 is closer to 3 . Now if we look at the seven churches in revelation the first four look like they go through the tribulation, the 5th Sardis is told to watch in Rev 3:3 so I believe they are bride, the 6th Philadelphia are told they will be kept from the hour of temptation, so I believe the are bride, and the 7th Laodiceans are rebuked for being lukewarm and are given a chance to repent and I can't imagine anyone not repenting when given a last chance, so I believe they are bride. That's 3 out of 7  or     42.857142% of 170 million which is 72,857,141.4 raptured saints. I know these numbers are not accurate but even then they still are very sobering. As The Lord said to the lukewarm laodiceans Rev.3:19
