Why on earth would God take the Church away when so many millions of souls will be in desperate need of people to lead them to salvation? Would Jesus leave all these lost souls to perish? I believe He would stay. I believe we are to be like Jesus?
What about the 144,000 from Revelations 7 God will send 144,000 Jewish witnesses filled with the Holy Spirit. God will go to the most extreme measures in all of history during the final days of man's life on earth to bring a massive number of souls to faith in Him so multitudes of people may enjoy the blessings He has prepared for their eternal future.
Also, the two Witnesses of Revelation 11 ~~
As a special climax to God's ministry of salvation, Revelation 7:9 indicates that during the first part of tribulation the greatest soul harvest in all history will take place. More people will accept Christ during the early months of the tribulation, before the anti-christ really has a chance to consolidate his one-world government and set up his one-world religion of self-worship (Rev. 13:5-7), than have been converted in the entire 1900 + years of church age.
EVEN THE ANGELS ARE COMING TO PREACH TO THE PEOPLE THAT WERE NOT RAPTURED:
Revelation 14:6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation. and kindred, and tongue, and people,
Revelation 14:7 Saying with a loud voice, fear God, and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgement is come: and worship Him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the foundations of water.
So we have the 144,000 right along with the two witnesses and an angel to preach the gospel.
