Dear Doves,

 

The following Scripture describes to us what the Church looks like, and tells us what the Church is doing so we can recognize it when we see it:

 

Revelation 5:9

"..because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased men for God from every tribe and language and people and nation. You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God,"

Revelation 7:9

"...and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count from every nation, tribe, people and language standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb.

Revelation 7:15

"Therefore they are before the throne of God and serve Him day and night in His temple.

 

 

The next Scripture shows us the palm branch connection between the Church of believers at the time of Christ's crucifixion and the raptured great multitude (Church) in heaven:

 

John  1212-13

"The next day a great multitude that had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, took palm branches and went out to meet Him...."

Revelation 7:9

"They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands."

 

We know that the great multitude in heaven is made up of mostly Gentiles because they are from every nation, tribe, people and language, and we know that the raptured Church will be made up of mostly Gentiles. After the rapture of the Church to heaven, when the fullness or full number of Gentiles has come in, there will be no more Gentiles coming into heaven to add to the great multitude after the rapture because:

 

Romans 11:25

"For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery.......that blindness in part has happened to Israel UNTIL THE FULLNESS OF THE GENTILES HAS COME IN."

 

The "fullness of the Gentiles has come in" to heaven at the moment of the rapture of the Church. The fate of the left-behind, unbelieving Gentiles is described in the next Scripture:

 

2 Thessalonians 2:10-11

"They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. For this reason GOD SENDS THEM A POWERFUL DELUSION so that they will believe the lie, and so that ALL WILL BE CONDEMNED who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness."

 

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.

 

According to Your Word, come Lord Jesus!
