[Karl Spooner]

I know it is tempting to believe that. The only problem is who is going to offer testimony if everyone is gone? If you want to continue with that line of thought, then take comfort with this sermon. God promised that he will help you believe a lie. To offer an analogy, which I hate to do, we are in a war and there are a lot of would be draft dodgers. May God bless you.

Karl....I think you’re misreading my posts. We’re in agreement (I think anyway). I believe we will be here, as believers. We are not going to be removed to protect us. I do believe that God will protect us here on earth just like the children of Israel during the plagues or during the time of Ezekiel.

The only problem is who is going to offer testimony if everyone is gone?

Its pretty clear

Revelation 11:3 And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.” 4 These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands standing before the God of the earth. 5 And if anyone wants to harm them, fire proceeds from their mouth and devours their enemies. And if anyone wants to harm them, he must be killed in this manner. 6 These have power to shut heaven, so that no rain falls in the days of their prophecy; and they have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to strike the earth with all plagues, as often as they desire.

Read Revelation 7, about the 144,000 Jews, sealed by God. They are the great witnesses.
