"Who will populate the millennium in natural bodies?" It cannot be the church because it will be raptured and gain new bodies. It cannot be unbelievers because they will all be destroyed when Christ returns to earth. We cannot make an exception for Israel, because any Israelite, just like any Gentile, must be saved before Christ returns to earth or else they will be destroyed with the rest of the unbelievers. Who will enter the millennium with natural bodies? Only one answer remains. It has to be tribulation saints. Tribulation saints are saved during the tribulation after the rapture. You think no one will not notice what is going on at this peroid of time? A great multitude of folks that were playing church will have their eyes WIDE OPEN during the Tribulation and turn and be saved. Since they miss the rapture they remain in their natural bodies to enter the millennium.

Of course, this is not an answer to the question I asked.
I did not ask "who will populate the millennium in natural bodies".
I asked you who the ~countless~ number of persons in Rev 7 were?
