TO BRUCE W. (REALLY???)
 
RE: Bruce Warner (5 March 2012)
"SCRIPTURAL PROOF THAT THE 'GREAT MULTITUDE' IN HEAVEN IS THE 'RAPTURED CHURCH'......."

YOU STATED:

"Therefore, AFTER THE RAPTURE Scripture says that there will be NO MORE GENTILES SAVED because THEY ARE ALL CONDEMNED who were not raptured.. The great multitude in heaven, who are the raptured Church, will not have any more Gentiles added to their number AFTER THE RAPTURE."

Hello Bruce!!

One big question….what about the tribulation saints?? What about all those that have been saved by the evangelism of the two witnesses, and the 144,000, and the Great Revival??  Are they all Jewish???  Do you mean to tell me that all the people that do not take the mark of the beast are Jewish??  Who are the people in the Pre-wrath rapture if not the tribulation saints???

Who are those in Rev. 15:2-3??
Revelation 15:2
 2And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.  (KJV)
Revelation 15:3
 3And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvelous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints. (KJV)
 
There will be thousands of born again foolish virgins left after the rapture of the Bride…they are born again, but have not matured, will they not be raptured before the Wrath is poured out??

I think your evidence is taken out of context in the larger scheme of things.  Maybe those who rejected Jesus totally, before the rapture of the Bride, will go for the strong delusion, but certainly the foolish virgins have another chance to be saved.

Why send the two witnesses and the 144,000 to evangelize to the whole world during the first half of the Tribulation, if only the Jewish believers are taken?  The Great Revival in the Church will take place after the Rapture of the Bride, and surely those are most certainly Gentiles.
 
I do agree that Rev. 7:9 is speaking about the Bride, and I also agree with your timing on the 7 year Tribulation. I also believe you are a brilliant Bible scholar, so please forgive me if I do not see how you can believe that only the lost sheep that are part of the Bride, and the Jews will be saved.

The whole purpose of the Tribulation period is to save ALL the lost sheep!!!  I am just glad you are not God….thank goodness He is more merciful than we can even comprehend!!!
 
Please forgive me if I have offended you, but that is not my intent.  I love reading your posts and really admire you, just cannot agree with you on these points.
 
Won’t it be incredible to finally know all the fine points of the WHOLE STORY when we are in heaven? 

Blessings!
