And if babies (of unbelievers, too) are taken
FROM THE WOMB at the rapture -- then even so, there will STILL be MORE babies
born "during the trib" ~ this is obvious from Matt. 24. When it is time for the
Jews to flee Judea at mid-trib, they will have babies in arms & have such a
rough, rough time (*tears*!) of trying to run away from the AntiChrist &
his cronies. May we feel compassion & pray for their plight ~ even now.
The ones who make it (to Petra) will be secure for the next 3.5 years ~ kept
& protected by God. However, Scripture indicates that many will be killed
even in route.
Also, how do parents view this whole thing?
ie. we never had kids, but have a whole pile of nieces & nephews ~ and let's
say they all get raptured (I don't think that will happen, as I believe some are
now past AOA <-- "age of accountability")
But for the young ones who get raptured: the
parents, upon going out of their literal minds!! ~ will hopefully TURN TO THE
LORD at that point [and not trust in "tradition of the church"....] and these
parents, who've had their kids "stolen" [when Jesus comes LIKE A THIEF!!] will
(hopefully!!) become part of the harvest of "multitudes ~ too numerous to even
count" from the Great Trib.
However, if these kids were left here ~ then I
know that I know that I know these particular parents anyway (the ones I'm
personally referring to) would TOO EASILY GIVE IN to taking the mark -- just to
feed their starving children!! Listen, ever since they were very young babies,
they would take on the attitude: give them toys, give them food, give them
"whatever it takes" to calm them & keep them from crying!! So, it
is little wonder that they would not be able to say "NO" to taking the
mark.
So ~ while WE view it as a "good thing" to have
them raptured & not have to suffer the horrors of the trib ..... yet, the
parents probably will not see it that way (at first anyway)
Clear as "mud", I bet? hahha!!.....
;)
At any rate, I lean towards thinking that ALL
young children under the AOA will be raptured, [but I do see convincing
arguments both ways in regards to unbelievers' children]. I'm not so convinced
about babies in the wombs of UNSAVED mothers, as you are. But I greatly
appreciate your insight anyway! We certainly know it's going to take SOMETHING
to cause people in droves to turn to the Lord ~ and what better way, then
"stealing their children"? [... to Paradise, of course!!]
At any rate, we leave it ultimately to our
Heavenly Father, who LOVES children!!
We know that He will not "rapture
anyone by 'mistake'" ~ nor, will He do an "ooops" and leave anyone here by
mistake! :)
He is worthy to be praised! ~ and all power,
and honor, and glory belong to Him!
Maranatha!

Titus 2
13 Looking for that blessed hope,
and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
The rapture is a blessed hope to the Christian. Watching for and expecting
the rapture is a blessed hope that encourages a person to stay close to the
Lord. A person watching daily for the rapture will go on with life but be
constantly looking for the return of the Lord each day. This blessed hope also
has a purifying effect. A person will not get caught up in worldliness or wrong
things if he thinks His Lord could come back at any moment. ~ Alan
