"Nations Surviving The Return"


I really do not feel like getting into this.....but for some odd

reason 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!
