After this I looked and a vast host appeared which no one could count, [gathered out] of every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages. These stood before the throne and before the Lamb; they were attired in white robes, with palm branches in their hands. Revelation 7:9
Then, addressing me, one of the elders [of the heavenly Sanhedrin] said, Who are these [people] clothed in the long white robes? And from where have they come? I replied, Sir, you know. And he said to me, These are they who have come out of the great tribulation (persecution), and have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Revelation 7:13-14
THEN THE kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish (thoughtless, without forethought) and five were wise (sensible, intelligent, and prudent). Matthew 25:1-2
You ever notice that Jesus taught that five of the ten virgins had the oil, 50% had the oil! Not 10% or 20%, but half had the oil and were allowed to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. Then look at what Jesus showed John in Revelation, that there would be so many people that were saved during the great tribulation that no one could count them.
The earth has around 6 billion people right now and in Revelation 6:8, Jesus teaches us that power was given to the rider of the pale horse to kill a 1/4th of the earth. So if it were to happen today that would mean that around 1.5 billion people would be killed. Then we read in Revelation 9:15 that a third of mankind will be destroyed, so with today’s population that is approximately another 1.5 billion people, leaving 3 billion people, plus or minus. Now remember that half of the virgins had the oil and tie it together with the Truth that no man can count those that come out of the great tribulation, and we can see that by using today’s population figures that about 1.5 billion people will be saved during the great tribulation! How absolutely awesome is that? When satan is at his best, God calls and chooses 1.5 billion people!
Now don’t get all caught up in the math thing here, I may be off, but the Truth of these verses is that even during the greatest of hardships, our Father is wining tons of souls! There is coming a revival and no one will be able to count the number of our brothers and sisters that will grafted into the Vine that is our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!
