SCRIPTURE says that 2/3rds will die. It is not my claim. It is a quote directly from Zechariah.
By the hand of God to satisfy His wrath for the sin of killing the Son of the Landowner? Is that your view? And that Christians will be rapture merely to avoid this divine wrath?
Now as He drew near, He saw the city and wept over it, saying, "If you had known, even you, especially in this your day, the things that make for your peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes. For days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment around you, surround you and close you in on every side, and level you, and your children within you, to the ground; and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not know the time of your visitation." (Luke 19:41-44)The sad part is that if God were to do that He would be violating His own standards.
“'The Lord is longsuffering and abundant in mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression; but He by no means clears the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation.'” (Numbers 14:18)
God’s wrath only extends as far as the fourth generation against the offspring of the offender. His wrath is swift and sure. He meted out His wrath against “this generation” in the events of AD70. Within one generation all these things happened to apostate Israel.
“And all the people answered and said, "His blood be on us and on our children."” (Matt. 27:25)
The Bible says that God does not bring wrath on a far future generation for old offenses. He has settled the matter long ago. Today He holds out His merciful hand to all those from Israel after the flesh who might come in faith to His Son, the Messiah Jesus, until the time of His return.
"And so all Israel will be saved."
