As in the days of Noah

Shilohsfoal said:
Mt 24;37-39
But as the days of Noah were,so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking,marrying and given in marriage,untill the day that Noah enterd into the ark.
And knew not untill the flood came,and took then akk away;so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Seeing that Jesus said he would be coming after the tribulation in Mt 24;29-39 and that people would still be doing the same things they always do such as marrying or working in the fields.Just your normal everyday things.And mind you these things are taking place after the tribulation of those days.How could it be that a day like this would sneek up on anyone like it did to those who were destroyed inthe flood?With all the preachers worldwide preaching that the antichrist beast will give everyone in the world the mark of the beast ,how could that day come upon anyone like a thief in the night?

Now I could see that day coming upon people as a thief in the night if those preachers are wrong as I believe they are.

If they believed that the beast was the Messiah Jesus and if they believed that true Christians where false, but servants of the devil. And if they thought that in killing us they where doing Gods work. Then the arrival of the true Messiah would indeed come as a shocking surprise.

Maybe these are all the people who have accepted the Messiah Jesus since the day of penticost. Not just thoes who died during the final tribulation.

If the days of Noah is anything to go buy then the percentage of the world population who will be alive and remain to be caught up will be a lot less then 1%

1 Peter 3
20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.

Unless you think there where only 800 people on earth at the time of the flood?

I believe he will have to claim He is a decendant of King David if He is going to fool the Jews.

Maybe, but the chapter goes on to describe this same group:

7:14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.​

This could mean the group is those that endure till the end. I would say so.

deutermony 18:18

another prophet shall arise like him shall ye listen.

that is a messianic one

the lord said that he would came not in his own name but in the name of the father but when the jews rejected him he told the jews that another shall come in his own name and that they would hearken.

Less than one percent of the worlds population will be saved and alive when Christ comes.

8 out of a possible 12 million were saved in the day of Noah.

Whats the percentage here ?
 
No matter how many and numerous the redeemed will be in heaven, nevertheless few were saved from the overall populace of mankind.

Matt 7:14

Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Well if the worlds population was indeed 12 million then the percentage would be:

0.00006666667 %

Right, so I would say that similar percentage would be saved upin earth if Christ came today..
 
So the population of the world being 6 billion then 0.00006666667% of 6 billion is equal to 400,000

But the thing is if Jesus came back today then the great tribulation would not happen so the percentage would be a lot higher.

Also being saved and being Caught up are two different things. There may be a great number saved during the great tribulation but most of them will be executed by the followers of the beast. Only a very small percentage of them may still be alive to see His return. Actually i do not believe there will be many followers of the Messiah alive when He returns.

This reasoning is faulty, does not make sense. Whatever the worlds population is when Christ comes, the percentage is the same !

And, the longer Christ delays, does not mean conversions are happening, in fact, those saved will have been sealed, no more conversions in the great tribulation.

Jesus seems to say that which indicates that during that time, all flesh will not be saved except the elect Matt 24:


21For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

22And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

No .Obama is a raiser of taxes.
Perhaps you havnt been following the scriptures at all or you should have known this.Anyone who has been paying attention would know this.
But do you know what happens to the raiser of taxes?
Do you know who comes after him and what that man shall do?

These are things you should be watching for because these are the things at hand.

Yes Im speaking of Daniel.
If people are going to speculate about the king of the north as to what he shall do or say or anything else about him,but they pay no attention to the kings who precede him then what do they know?This chapter began after ww2 when the country called Israel was created.It tells of many things leading up to the last king of the north.Many things .
The rise and fall of the raiser of taxes is just one small thing in the middle of many things.
Taxes will rise Jan 2011.
