Jesus rejects those who are "workers of lawlessness". That is his statement on who he will reject, not mine. Comparing the passages together, the workers of lawlessness will likely either:
a) receive the mark but think their works are enough to save them, thus they mention them trying to justify themselves
b) have died before the Anti-Christ came to being and thus never were subjected to the Mark
c) both a and b.
I think the answer there can be c 100%
But your number keeps moving, first you said no Christians, now it's there's some but they are small in number so not worth mentioning. Which is it?
Which is it?
It's this: "There are no Christians left when Jesus returns."
I shouldn't have to go into exceptions that are inconsequential for this discussion. Take a look at this:
Revelation 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
Notice that "all" is not really all. There are exceptions that are inconsequential. It's something we have to roll with.
What about your b)?
Why would someone be rejected at the first resurrection? Wouldn't they just have to wait for the second one instead?
