I really do not feel like getting into this.....but for some oddreason I just will......and that is.........that nations will be left
on earth who some how survived the tribulation...........I just
can't see the possiblity of such in all my studies of the bible so
far.........how could it be possible..........if there is to be a
decision and a distinction to be made........among the peoples alive
on the earth during the tribulation.........there will be only two
groups of people alive on the earth when Jesus comes to earth after
the tribulation...............and that is those.........with the mark
of the beast on their bodies parts.........and the remnant of Israel
who will be miraculously protected during the tribulation......they
will be the only ones without the mark of the beast at Christ return
to earth..........every other people alive at that time will be
having the mark on their bodies otherwise they wouldn't even be alive
.......and scripture says Jesus will destroy the peoples with the
mark of the beast at His coming since He considers them His enemies
and children of the devil.....so I just can't simply understand how
in the world nations are supposed to be alive after Christ's
return........if it is those same nations that the devil will deceive
to go with Him and fight the battle of armageddon..........all of
them having the mark of the beast........and enemies of Christ......
whom Jesus said He will consume at His coming...."And the first
went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a
noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the
beast, and upon them which worshipped his image." Rev. 16:2...."And
the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and
his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for
pain, And BLASPHEMED THE GOD OF HEAVEN because of their pains and
their sores, and REPENBTED NOT of their deeds." Rev. 16:10-11...These
are clearly enemies of God who will be destroyed at Christ's coming
as evidenced by these verses......because they are UNrepentant and
BLASPHEMERS OF GOD!
