7.753 Billion (2020) People in The WORLD as of "2020" & How many do you Think is going to be SAVED From DAMNATION out of THAT NUMBER

[PloughBoy]

There are about 7.753 billion (2020) people in the world as of “2020”.
And
As of the year 2020, Christianity had approximately 2.6 billion+ adherents out of a worldwide population of about 7.8 billion people.

And “GOD” according to “Holy Scripture” Destroyed during The Great Flood All but “8”. "if you believe in the BIBLE and The SALVATION of GOD"

And in The Destruction of Sodom & Gomorrah and The plains surrounding those cities he only saved 4 and One Look back and she was turn into stone by “GOD”!

And we must not forget all the adults that came out of The bondages of Egypt except for "Caleb and Joshua" he destroyed in The wilderness so that they did not enter “The Promise Land” and that number I believe were Millions. [and maybe a few children of disobedient families]

How many Hebrews slaves were freed from Egypt?
[12:37 says “600,000 men on foot, beside children” went out from Egypt. That extrapolates to around two million people making the exodus (extrapolated from Numbers 1:46) ]

How things look in the world now, and how things have grown more wicked than ever before, and The LIGHT is showing what is Hid in THE DARK more and More as The DAY draws nearer. [ there is nothing new under The Sun] And how and what the testimonies of professed christians are today as of “2022”. For That LIGHT that SHINES to Revealed that which is Hid in The DARK, is “The CHRIST of GOD” [And That which is Hidden Shall Come to LIGHT] [now that is scary]

I doubt out of 2.6 billion profess christians throughout the world if only [ 8 % of The profess christians are truly “BORN FROM ABOVE” at this moment of Time out of “2.6 Billion professed christians.
For we all know, That a "GREAT NUMBER” that No MAN Can NUMBER, will Come out of “GREAT TRIBULATION” that The WORLD HAS NEVER AND WILL NEVER EVER SEE AGAIN” Will be saved. And that Number will be "worshippers around The Throne"

Note: But I stand to be corrected, By Theologically Sound, Corrected by "EXEGESIS', PERTAINING TO THIS STATEMENT, THAT GROUP AROUND THE THRONE WHO CAME OUT OF GREAT TRIBULATION was not termed "Sons of GOD".

"Revelation 7:14-15 (KJV).
"And I said unto him, Sir thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of GREAT TRIBULATION, and have wash their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. THEREFORE are THEY before THE THRONE of GOD, and SERVE HIM DAY AND NIGHT in HIS TEMPLE and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them."

I know this is Way beyond many, because many have not consume and digested "The Entire BOOK" as it is supposed to be; "DISCIPLINE".
BUT it is understandable. why many have have not.

(ASV)
9After these things I saw, and behold, a great multitude, which no man could number, out of every nation and of all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, arrayed in white robes, and palms in their hands; 10and they cry with a great voice, saying, Salvation unto our God who sitteth on the throne, and unto the Lamb. 11And all the angels were standing round about the throne, and about the elders and the four living creatures; and they fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, 12saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.

13And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, These that are arrayed in white robes, who are they, and whence came they? 14And I say unto him, My lord, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they that come of the great tribulation, and they washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15Therefore are they before the throne of God; and they serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall spread his tabernacle over them. 16They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun strike upon them, nor any heat: 17for the Lamb that is in the midst of the throne shall be their shepherd, and shall guide them unto fountains of waters of life: and God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes.

 

[Jesus_is_LORD]

My brother @PloughBoy you know what I think about?

I think about Sodom and Gomorrah and I think about Noah.

In Sodom, as you stated such a small number was saved with Lot.

And by ratio, an even smaller number was saved with Noah considering

that was the who world. And mind you, back then as you must certainly know

as a Bible scholar, that people lived to be hundreds of years old, 700, 800, 900.

Imagine how many children someone can have living to be 900 years old when

we think that in the 1930s people having families of 10 or 15 was a lot. That is

very sobering to look back and see and be like wow, God is definitely not a respecter

of person. Let us work out our own salvation with fear and trembling so that we can

be used as God desires.

 

[MedicBravo]

Revelation shows that many will turn to God during that time.
Also, "Narrow is the way and few will find it." will show many will still refuse God even when there's no denying his existence.
Is trying to find a number worth time? I doubt it. The only thing that matter is where one stands: With or against God.

 

[B-A-C]

Revelation shows that many will turn to God during that time.

I am curious, where in Revelation does it say that?

Rev 2:21 'I gave her time to repent, and she does not want to repent of her immorality.
Rev 9:20 The rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, so as not to worship demons, and the idols of gold and of silver and of brass and of stone and of wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk;
Rev 9:21 and they did not repent of their murders nor of their sorceries nor of their immorality nor of their thefts.
Rev 16:9 Men were scorched with fierce heat; and they blasphemed the name of God who has the power over these plagues, and they did not repent so as to give Him glory.
Rev 16:11 and they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores; and they did not repent of their deeds.

 

[MedicBravo]

You're referencing people who reject God not the rest.
That details on the punishment after it is too late.

• Revelation 7:4 "And I heard the number of them which were sealed: [and there were] sealed a hundred [and] forty [and] four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel."
• Revelation 7:5-8 "Of the tribe of Judah [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad [were] sealed twelve thousand." "Of the tribe of Asher [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Naphtali [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasseh [were] sealed twelve thousand." "Of the tribe of Simeon [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar [were] sealed twelve thousand." "Of the tribe of Zebulon [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin [were] sealed twelve thousand".
• Revelation 11:1-4 teaches that these Witnesses will preach God's Word for 42 months (or 3 1/2 years). This is the first half of the Tribulation period. The angel tells John not to measure the outer court of the temple, because after 42 months the Antichrist will proclaim to be god and kill anyone who refuses to worship his IMAGE (Revelation 13:15).

The last one is a very important time. People WILL be saved during the Tribulation which is in Revelation.

yep and imagine, and by the grace of GOD, women could , of had "twins", Triplets, 4-8 babies at a time. and men could have, had a "HAREM" of wives!
All those wives and babies King Solomon had, and David and Gideon, Gideon had 70-71 kids. And like you said they lived , some to about 900 years, Could you imagine how many would you have had, just to live to 70, if you could have and about 700 wives and 300 concubines! Even after a hundred, "Abraham" had 6 more, and you bet she wasn't a HEN, c she had to be a "Chick"! And all those "mandrakes' growing around there, and it they didn't cost a penny! And your wives made the clothes, herded sheep, cook, skin the goats, milk the goats and build the fire! You just run the wolves and bears, and the lions away! And Pray and offer the Sacrifice.

And your daughters took care of watering the flock. And The sons and daughters brought water to The HUT! from the well you dug.
and you had to make babies. You didn't; have time to "masturbate" you had to "Multiply" and be fruitful. And imagine if your brothers start dying, you would have marry the widows and make more babies. When they look for you, and they will say; where did he go,..... answer: "He went hunting" well why was you gone so long? "I Got Lost" in The Mountains. In the wilderness!

I am, kind of, relating to a story about a man had a complaint about his 1st. wife. Then He start compiling about His 2nd wife!
she was younger! and I let him know, about the things and complaints he had. She will make you have a Heart Attack, if she is The right one! Do not mess around out there, she out there! She out there. and you do not want her to cross your path. Do not look her in her eyes.
She will puts that "HOODOO" on you! A SPELL< or what ever you want to call it! The Bible Says; "RUN"! Now I am going to tell you that "REBUKING" ain't going to work! "Paul I know, JESUS I Know"..f.

I don't know why GOD have put me into a many positions. and scenes. Many, if I told you , many would not believe me. and I am ashamed to even speak about them. of let my mind wonder back into their paths. I cannot believe sometimes , what have approach me. WOW! This a evil world, is it worse than before "The Flood" Answer: "YES"!!!!!!!! from worse to worse. and we have gone from "GRACE to GRACE". and I am not talking about the ways of the World" For world will always be The world.

"Where Sin has abound Grace has abound that much more""

 

[Curtis]

If you use the parable of the sower as a reference then maybe 1 out of 4 will be saved. Just a guess!

 

[Jesus_is_LORD]

"Where Sin has abound Grace has abound that much more""

Amen

 

[Jesus_is_LORD]

This a evil world, is it worse than before "The Flood" Answer: "YES"!!!!!!!! from worse to worse. and we have gone from "GRACE to GRACE". and I am not talking about the ways of the World" For world will always be The world.

I don't know if it is worst than before the flood.

I guess to make a good comparison I would have to know how things were back then.
I know now with the technology we have more ways to sin for sure. But are our hearts
more evil? I don't know.

 

[Br. Bear]

Revelation shows that many will turn to God during that time.

I am curious, where in Revelation does it say that?

still waiting?
Does it actually say such?

 

[PloughBoy]

All Scripture is God-Breathed
…12Indeed, all who desire to live godly lives in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, 13while evilmen and imposters go from bad to worse,deceiving and being deceived. 14But as for you, continue in the things you have learned and firmly believed, since you know from whom you have learned them.…

[Many will say we are living in the Last days, But they do not believe the words coming out of their own mouths. I listen to People and the very words that comes out of their mouths. Especially profess christians. It is Amazing, the things they say, and seriousness of many faces, it bewilders me.]

Example: The letter to Timothy was written to him about A.D. 67.

Evil in the Last Days
1This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. 9But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.

And from “American History” and “World History” Books, and from Different “Documentaries” Historical Themes. Through radio, Television, Film, Tapes, Video, Movies, and at one Time “The Internet”. But I do remember in The mid- and early 70’s a moment had started to “erase” our History, we were young “weed smoking RADICALS. And these were the things we discussed and not “RAP MUSIC”! And we all know who is behind its moment. “BRIBES” and gifts” are in the Bible Too! And I don’t mean “Holy Ghost” gifts will make room for you!
For money, for jobs. For fame, for prestige, for pretty women, for expensive cars, shoes, clothes, houses, for power, men and women will turn on their own people, their own race, their own mother, their own father, their own brother, own sisters, own children, they will kill them before they are born, for prestige. With strong “excuses” why! And EDUCATED and SMART debates, in The name of “Success, ADVANCEMENT, Prosperity, and Happiness.

And then we fuel them in their “Debauchery” and praise them with The Label as “SUCCESSFUL” Eminence “even women in LEADERSHIP positions. “LORDING over Men”! “Demigoddesses”

And we know so well, not one GATE to CITY or PILLAR in The NEW JERUSALEM has A female name! Even New Bible translation is Bowing down to women “PRADA”S to “appease”. We know to all well what happen to “SOLOMON” and DAVID” in Their later days! And GIDEON too!

If you think, the world has been getting better since the flood, You better take you eyes off of those LEGS! “Make up”

There was a song written and song when I was in my younger days entitled: “If LOVING You is Wrong, I don’t Want To Do Right” “On The Top 10 LIST”! “Me and Mrs. Jones we Got A Think Going on”

Now you know it is tight, when you can have a number 1 sellers, in music, for your “DEBAUCHERY” even little kids, boys and girls are singing it. And the church fueled their success!

Now you know I have a lot to say on that subject. I been reading my BIBLE hard, since 1977! The cursing and the Blessing!

And what I hear in these songs today “Blows My MIND” the words that come out of their mouths and guess who buys and listen to that music?

I heard my teenage grand children singing a Rap song, they thought I could not hear them. And I ask them, who are you talking about, your “Mama”, they said no, Then my daughters, they said No, they I said, well, WHO”S daughter are You Talking about? And they gave me that bewilder look, And I Said; You are TALKING ABOUT SOMEBODY”S DAUGHTER!
And I used My “STENTORIAN TONE Voice! “The young grand son was 12 then, said to me in private, I warn them, granddaddy is going to hear you! And they tell me to “COOL it Granddaddy” and tell people I be TRIPPING”!

I ain’t going for it! When you see me, you going to think! Telling me “You think you better than everybody else” you ain't nothing but a ……! “LOL” “TARES & WHEAT” is in everybody household of generations” LOL! You better believe that BOOK,

if You are “BORN from ABOVE” born of GOD, and Your WIFE AIN:T, Then most likely she is "A CHILD OF THE DEVIL!" She will kill you! SHE WILL! NO MATTER HOW MUCH you LOVE HER! And we are COMMANDED to LOVE ALL of OUR ENEMY”S and Those who would kill us and destroy us and our testimonies, Even a Violent Death from Their hands! Now many christians cannot except that! But A TRUE CHILD OF THE LIVING GOD can. And wear that as a Badge of Honor. “Backed up By Biblical History"

YOUR wife of Your HUSBAND could be a ENEMY with all the attention to KILL YOU or DESTROY you without “Prejudice” especially your “BORN from ABOVE” Testimony !

Know your “BIBLE” and Believe it, skip nothing, for The DEVIL wants you to skip across dry places in your bible, The DEVIL wants you to skip here and skip there, hop and hop over here and hop over there! And he has “IMPS” to encourage you to do so and explain to you it is ok and honorable to do so! As the devil in Genesis, so as He spoke to EVE in the Garden.


New American Standard Bible
But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his trickery, your minds will be led astray from sincere and pure devotion to Christ.

NASB 1995
But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ.


John 8:44
You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out his desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, refusing to uphold the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, because he is a liar and the father of lies.”

I don't know if it is worst than before the flood.

I guess to make a good comparison I would have to know how things were back then.
I know now with the technology we have more ways to sin for sure. But are our hearts
more evil? I don't know.

 

[PloughBoy]

Stuff like this dominating the world! And there is no "OUT CRY" even from the Body of Christ nor The religious Rulers, but they will take the money given in the offering plate! :Bribes"

 

[PloughBoy]

This stuff is going on and I am not going to say anything, Not to the world is my Cry! But to my brothers and sisters in Christ JESUS! Is LOOK at "The FIG TREE" and observe, As my Brother has said; what kind of "Figs" are in The Basket?

 

[MedicBravo]

still waiting?
Does it actually say such?

I posted a response yesterday at 8:59 p.m.
It's further up if you took the time to look for it.

Some are talking about it. Surprisingly I was just listening to a sermon online as I read your post which was addressing this issue.

I will admit in honesty that my home church doesn't talk about these things. And I will admit that many churches (and perhaps with good intentions)
stay away from the culture and just preach the Bible. It can be a slippery slop if you focus too much on the culture instead of just preaching Christ.
You find yourself calling out everyone. But on the other hand, if you don't speak out on certain things, then it is like the (American non-negro) church during slavery,
that kept silent during things like slavery. So it is a balance and I'll just say that we humans are terrible at striking a balance. Especially with things of faith and religion.

@PloughBoy I do find such out cry more common in the African American nondenominational churches. They often speak out on those issues
which is good, and other times they are criticized for speaking too much out on cultural issues and not sticking to just the Bible.

Do you know how one can find this balance @PloughBoy ?
The balance of speaking out against such issues vs just from preaching the Bible.

The benefits of speaking out is you can teach your people and give them insight and you show by example Biblical courage,
the con is that there is a risk of being too political, cultural, entertainment minded, and pointing the finger at everyone else.

Help us find the balance. Where is it?

Also, "Narrow is the way and few will find it." will show many will still refuse God even when there's no denying his existence.
Is trying to find a number worth time? I doubt it. The only thing that matter is where one stands: With or against God.

Actually "narrow is the way & a few find it " is about an iniquity in the church that false prophets will come in and broaden the way in coming to God the Father by.

John 10:1Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

However, when saved believers puts the Holy Spirit in the spotlight, instead of the Son ( antichrist means instead of Christ) that opens the door for the spirits of the antichrist to come in & steal the show, seducing believers to relate to God by way of them, their tongues for private use, & their visits with signs and lying wonders rather than by the only way provided and that is by the Son.

It is when saved believers broaden the way in the worship place in fellowship and in prayer in coming to God the Father as if by another way of the Holy Spirit, is why many do not see themselves in iniquity in these latter days and thus not led by the indwelling Holy Spirit to do that, thus grieving Him, even though He still dwells in them.

Ephesians 4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

Best way to avoid this iniquity is to recognize the actual broadening of the way by including the Holy Spirit as if He is another way, and narrow the way back to the straight gate, the Son of God to avoid being left behind.

Matthew 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Luke 13:24 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
25 When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:
26 Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.
27 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.
28 There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.
29 And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.
30 And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last.

There is no ignoring the indwelling Holy Spirit when He is leading you by the scriptures to go to the Son in coming to God the Father for all things.

So may Jesus Christ as your Good Shepherd & Friend help you keep your eyes on the Bridegroom for Jesus Christ will be appearing soon.
