Why weren't they raptured or taken to a safe place like you have all the other Christians in Beulah ?
The holy people of God, who are now every faithful Christian, will be living in peace and prosperity in all of the holy Land, Isaiah 62:1-12, but they do get taken over by the leader of the One World Govt; the Anti-Christ, as described in Zechariah 14:1-2, Daniel 7:25, Revelation 13:5-8
This will happen at the exact midpoint of the last 7 years before Jesus Returns and it is because they failed to trust solely on the Lord for their protection.
Daniel 9:27 and Isaiah 28:14-15 tell of a treaty, a peace treaty for a seven year period, made between ‘many’ of the citizens of Beulah and the leader of the OWG, that God calls;
a treaty with death. This fixed term treaty is not a covenant, as some Bibles wrongly translate it to be.
We see in
Daniel 11:32, how the Christians are divided into 2 groups, those who agreed to this seven year peace treaty with the man, now called the Anti-Christ: 'beast', and those who refused to violate their covenant with God. This conquest and division of the Lord’s people, at the mid point of the seven years, is seen in
Zechariah 14:1-2 and Revelation 13:5-7
Then in
Revelation 12:6-17, those two groups of Christians are described; the faithful ones, who refused to agree with the 7 year peace treaty, will be taken to a place of safety on earth during the 3 1/2 years, [or 42 months or 1260 days] and the other group remain, as per
Revelation 12:17.
They will face persecution and many will be killed, but provided they kept strong in their faith, they will be resurrected when Jesus Returns; Revelation 20:4
Then Jesus Returns; kills the Anti-Christ's army and chains him up. Jesus sends out His angels to gather His people from their place of safety and all who have refused the mark of the beast, Matthew 24:31, to where He is; that is in Jerusalem, from where He will rule the world for the next1000 years.
