... whether fortunate or unfortunate, the sure hope in Jesus is ONLY according to what God has said, and MOST will first die in ignorance of his truth in scripture according to the Bible :-
Matthew 7:13-14 ... for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat
because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
IF one believes in God and his saints then one should clearly take this SERIOUSLY but the billions of religious division by traditions of men do not ... God's message then is that the WILL not ...
But what does that mean then , FEW will be saved at Jesus' return, not the many of mass religion, not the billion or so who merely SAY they are following the word, because clearly it is God says they will not ...
So it is clear that one has to either believe the saints and Christ in what is written or not, but most religious folks simply deny this scripture and think Jesus will take the many when he comes, but the scripture itself proves this is not so, Jesus tells us that the 144,000 saints of this earth are saved first [Rev 7:3-8] , sealed by God to be the priests and kings of the kingdom on earth [not in heaven!] :-
Revelation 5:10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
but who shall they reign over when the many have been DESTROYED ?
again in scripture [Rev 7:9-10] Jesus himself tells us , the destroyed many are saved LATER [once the kingdom is set up for a thousand years by the first few ] :-
thus there is first the resurrection of the just, the justified FEW to run the kingdom on earth , later the resurrection of the unjust many sinners of thsi earth to LEARN TO LOVE in obedience to God's truth that loving one another is the ONLY happy way for men to live together unlike this earth now ...
Acts 24:15 And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.
the bible states repeatedly that all sinners are following Satan to death as wages of their sin, Jesus promises resurrection of ALL creation to face themselves and realise mankind was most wrong to live by sin as in this world , it leads to our destruction in death , but Jesus promises we shall all be released from death and hell, contrary to religion that pretends to believe him :-
Revelation 20:13 ... and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
sadly in the translated bible the words for 'an age' are mistranslated as 'eternal' or 'for ever' which means the many are deceived who will not pursue the mistranslation to its roots, but other scripture makes it clear that ALL the creation will accept Jesus Christ eventually, but NOT NOW
, as Matthew points out , FEW find the way now [to make the way for the many later] :-
Revelation 5:13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.
READ it and understand that the scripture is ONE message that sadly has been mistranslated in part but makes itself clear nonetheless...
MY POINT is that a billion divided christians will be disappointed at Jesus' return for following divided traditions of men that CANNOT all be true , only ONE truth of God known by the FEW saints, not by the many sinners ... so read the truth in the scripture, not from the mouths of sinners who claim authority to deny the above words quoted from scripture to folow traditions, diverse traditions :-
Colossians 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
