Confused about a verse.

[LaMontre]

I believe that after the rapture, which is when this sheep and goats judgement takes place (obviously), those who took the mark will go to hell, those who didn't (many of which will probably be children) will enter the MK, in addition to those in Israel who will have been resisting the anti-christ, that is, them that Jesus has come to deliver from "armageddon". But that there will be gentile nations that enter the MK is well established in scripture.

Isa 2:2-4, 14:1-2, Zech 14:9, 16-19, Eze 36:24-28 & 36.

What I find interesting about the sheep and goats judgement, is that in both cases there is an implicit third group standing by, which Jesus refers to as "these" (present tense) which is obviously the elect.

Jesus IS coming to a world so bound in sin and suffering that he said this about it:

Mat 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
Mat 24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

Not sure what you mean by "cleansing of the earth"?

Can you quote a scripture to support your point and get us on the same page with ya?

[COLOR="Blue"]No unbelievers refuse the mark and they are destroyed at the Millenial return of Christ. As stated above by another poster, those believers that survive the trib will repopulate the earth and of their offspring the unbeliving will rise up against Christ at the conclusion of the Millenium. This proves God's point that man is inherently evil, apart from Christ. Even while living in a perfect environment, with Christ reigning in Jerusalem, there will still be those who chose to reject Him as Lord - without the interference or temptation of the evil one. The unregenerate, at the conclusion of the Millenium, when satan is released, align themselves with him in a war against the Warrior of Heaven and His Saints but, alas, it is futile! Satan is cast alive into the pit to join his two buds, a/c and false prophet and all the damned, for all eternity! Hallelujah to the Lamb of God!

Shalom in Christ

How can we be sure that no unbelievers refuse the mark? I believe during the tribulation there will be some anti-government civilians who will go into hiding and some will probably even survive the trib.
I guess will have to wait an see.

I agree.

3-1/2 years is not nearly enough time to get everyone marked anyway.
