Forever said:
because God can not promise non-martyrdom when in the Tribulation.
Then I don't know what God your talking about because My God can keep His own within the flames of a fiery furnace.
My God can keep His own within the pit of wild beasts. My God can set His seal on His people to protect them from the fierceness of His own wrath and He can hide those He wishes to in the Day of the Lord:
For IT IS WRITTEN:
"And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein. And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God."
"For evildoers shall be cut off; but those that wait upon the Lord shall inherit the earth. For yet a little while longer and the wicked shall not be; yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be. But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace."
"Wait on the Lord, and keep His way, and He will exalt you to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it. I have seen the wicked in great power and spread himself like a green bay tree. Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not; yea, I sought him, but he could not be found. Mark the perfect man and behold the upright; for the end of that man is peace. But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off. But the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord: He is their strength in the time of trouble. And the Lord shall help them, and deliver them, He shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in Him."
"A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come near thee. Only with thine eyes shall you see the reward of the wicked. Because thou has made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the Most High, thy habitation; there shall no evil befall thee neither shall any plague come near thy dwelling
"
"The Lord preserveth all them that love Him; but all the wicked He shall destroy."
"For the upright shall dwell in the earth, and the perfect shall remain in it, but the wicked shall be cut off from the earth and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it."
"The righteous shall never be removed; and the wicked shall not inherit the earth."
"WHEN thou passeth THROUGH the waters I will be with thee; and THROUGH the rivers, they shall not overflow thee; WHEN thou walkest THROUGH the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee."
"We are not sure what are God whom we serve will do, but He is able to deliver us from the fiery furnace and He will deliver us out of your hands, oh king. We will not serve your gods (promote your falsehoods)and we will not worship the golden image.(no matter how much it APPEALS TO THE FLESH.)
Note: The only things that were burnt off of Gods servants were the things which BOUND THEM(soulish infirmities, dross etc..)
Yet that same impartial fire destroyed the wicked. Go figure!
But you, whoever you are or
think you are; who are you to say that God cannot promise to do what He already has promised to do?
"Woe to him who strives with his Maker, an earthen vessel with the potter! Does the clay say to him who fashions it, 'What are you making'? or 'Your work has no handles'? "
