Paul,
Thanks for correcting me
on the number of Catholics worldwide.
And concerning your topic
of the number of Christians worldwide that will
make the rapture, I always focus on the passage
from Matthew 7:13-14.....
13 Enter by the narrow
gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way
that leads to destruction, and there are many that
will go in by it.
14 Because narrow is the
gate and difficult is the way which leads to life,
and there are few who
will find it.
When one ponders on the
definition of "few" it can be quite scary
against the backdrop of the rapture.
Few........not many, a
small number, a small select group.
Makes one dig a little
deeper into their relationship with God and pray
Luke 21:36 more fervently.
36 Watch therefore, and
pray always that you may be counted worthy to
escape all the things that will come to pass, and
to stand before the Son of Man.
John B
