'Sir, my concern is not whether God is on our side. My great concern is to be on God's side' - Abraham Lincoln
Why would God kill 50% of mankind the reader asks? The answer is that he offers them citizenship of the Kingdom of God and they do not accept his offer. This offer will be very real and unambiguous before Armageddon when Jesus' bride (the 1NC saints) appears visibly, by which time it is too late to be saved. The 50% who do not want to know about his kingdom, and who reject both God and Jesus and the kingdom, plainly will not gain entry. Satan's kingdom on the other hand ends on 2008Nisan14 (March 21st) so they have nowhere to go after that. The end game, the time of the end carries on for another 14 months after that. During this period 50% of mankind is raptured and the 50% left behind is wiped out by an extinction level volcanic event, the greater Sodom and Gomorrah.
29 Jesus said: Truly I say to you men, No one has left house or brothers or
sisters or mother or father or children or fields for my sake and for the sake
of the good news
30 who will not get a hundredfold now in this period of time,
houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and fields, with
persecutions, and in the coming system of things everlasting life (Mark 10).
This refers to those who leave FDS3/WSS2/GNS2, which had 6 million at it’s fall when it became a false church. They then join FDS4, which will have 100x more or 600 million brothers.
30 And every tenth part of the land, out of the seed of the land and the fruit of the tree, belongs to Jehovah. It is something holy to Jehovah (Leviticus 27).
13 And there will still be in it a tenth, and it must again become something for burning down, like a big tree and like a massive tree in which, when there is a cutting down [of them], there is a stump; a holy seed will be the stump of it (Isaiah 6).
19 Then he blessed him and said: Blessed be Abram of the Most High God, Producer
of heaven and earth.
20 And blessed be the Most High God, Who has delivered your oppressors into your
hand!
At that Abram gave him a tenth of everything (Genesis 14).
The LWs will have one tenth of half the population of the world in the true church in 2008Adar when we lose our water baptism and Mrs Lot loses her water. This tenth is a holy seed. Now 10% of 3 billion is 300 million. But then we expect that an euqal amount of people will be resurrected from the past with a water baptism, so in all every JW who leaves the church of 6 million to join the LWs will get 600 millions water baptised brothers in the kingdom of God. He will get 100x more!
(Read all about it!)
We already know that more are killed than get 'life' at the end of the World from Jesus’ words...
13 Go in through the narrow gate; because broad and spacious is the road leading
off into destruction, and many are the ones going in through it.
14 Whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few
are the ones finding it (Matthew 7).
So those gaining judicial life are few and therefore would have to be considerably less than 50%. But many are saved without having judicial life. In fact the majority of those saved are judicially dead in the Kingdom of God (having no associated angels, not being spirit sons of God), although they must be born again to enter the Kingdom, they borrow a temporary angelic vehicle for that purpose. This has taken us a long time to understand - too long! For Jesus was asked...
23
Now a certain man said to him: Lord, are those who are being saved few? He said
to them:
24 Exert yourselves vigorously to get in
through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will seek to get in but will
not be able,
25 when once the householder has got up
and locked the door, and you start to stand outside and to knock at the door,
saying, 'Sir, open to us.' But in answer he will say to you, 'I do not know
where you are from.'
26 Then you will start saying, 'We ate and
drank in front of you, and you taught in our broad ways.'
27 But he will speak and say to you, 'I do
not know where you are from. Get away from me, all you workers of
unrighteousness!'
28 There is where [your] weeping and the
gnashing of [your] teeth will be, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and
all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but yourselves thrown outside.
29 Furthermore, people will come
from eastern parts and western, and from north and south, and will recline at
the table in the kingdom of God (Luke 13).
But then Matthew gives the game away saying...
11
But I tell you that many from eastern parts and western parts will come and
recline at the table with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of the
heavens;
12
whereas the sons of the kingdom will be thrown into the darkness outside. There
is where [their] weeping and the gnashing of [their] teeth will be (Matthew 8).
So the answer is no, those being saved are many! But those going through the narrow gate into judicial life, i.e. those being born again in spirit other than through a rapture covenant are few. Now the percentage of people saved in the end is very plain from the Gospels. Matthew 24 refers to the invisible presence of the bride of Christ before Armageddon...
38
For as they were in those days before the flood, eating and drinking, men
marrying and women being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into
the ark;
39 and they took no note until the flood
came and swept them all away, so the presence of the Son of man will be.
40 Then 2 will be in the field: one [male] will be taken along and the other
[male] will be abandoned [in the old true
church];
41 2 will be grinding at the hand
mill: one [female] will be taken along and the other [female] will be abandoned [in
the old true church] (Matthew 24).
50% of those men and women working in the old true church enter into the new true church. But Luke 17 refers to the visible presence of his bride at the start of the kingdom and the rapture...
28
Likewise, just as it occurred in the days of Lot: they were eating, they were
drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were
building.
29 But on the day that Lot came out of
Sodom it rained fire and sulphur from heaven and destroyed them all.
30 The same way it will be on that day
when the Son of man is to be revealed.
31 On that day let the person that is on
the housetop but whose movable things are in the house not come down to pick
these up, and the person out in the field, let him likewise not return to the
things behind.
32 Remember the wife of Lot.
33 Whoever seeks to keep his soul safe for
himself will lose it, but whoever loses it will preserve it alive.
34 I tell you, In that night [the
night of the rapture] 2 will
be in one bed; the one [male] will be taken along, but the other [male] will be
abandoned [to the fire of Armageddon, the lava
of an extinction level volcanic event].
35 There will be 2 grinding at the
same mill; the one [female] will be taken along [the
day of the rapture, a simultaneous event across all time zones??], but the other
[female] will be abandoned [to the fire of
Armageddon, the lava of an extinction level volcanic event] (Luke
17).
So Luke 17 tells us that 50% of men and 50% of women are saved and 50% are saved at day and 50% are saved at night during the rapture. So this is an instantaneous thing across all time zones, half of which will be in the inght and the other half of which will be in the day.
17 I shall surely bless you and I shall
surely multiply your seed like the stars of the heavens and like the grains
of sand that are on the seashore; and your seed will take possession of the
gate of his enemies (Genesis 22).
12 And you, you have said [to Abraham], 'Unquestionably I shall deal well with you and I will constitute your seed like the grains of sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.' (Genesis 32).
7 Now as soon as the 1,000 years have been
ended, Satan will be let loose out of his prison,
8 and he will go out to mislead those nations
in the 4 corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together for the
war. The number of these is as the sand of the sea (Revelation 20).
