Revelation 19:15

15 From His mouth goes forth a sharp sword with which He can smite (afflict, strike) the nations; and He will shepherd and control them with a staff (scepter, rod) of iron. He will tread the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath and indignation of God the All-Ruler (the Almighty, the Omnipotent).

Notice that not all of the unsaved people die here when Jesus returns. If they did why would Jesus have to rule with an iron rod? John is shown that Jesus smites the nations. John doesn’t write that Jesus smites the people of the nations, but the nations? Think of the nation of America. Does the nation, or the government, of America unite people? Does it cause love? Does the government cause us to look to Jesus or to man? The people of America do a ton of these things, as do people all around the world, but as for our government that is not the case. Jesus smites the things that divide, not those who are divided by them! 

We are told that Jesus rules those who remain alive with an iron rod after He comes back. This makes sense, not everyone left on the earth will be at Armageddon. There has to be people who did not take the mark of the beast and who did not die. Think of all of the people of the earth who are not in technological advanced societies, think of the poor in the developing countries, think of the people of the muslim nations that have been impoverished, while so much wealth has been made around them. These people have been mistreated and abused for centuries by the great whore Babylon. These people don’t buy or sell now in the worlds markets, so do you think that they will during the Great Tribulation? I just can’t see these impoverished people around the world joining up with America and the Catholic Church, even if war, plagues, and natural disasters have ravished the earth. And I can’t see that the anti-christ and false prophet will even care about them to pursue them. 

Arabs have a covenant with our Father through Ishmael, Genesis 17:20. Millions of Arabs will not follow the beast, so that they may finally live in the glory of their covenant with our Father. I am sure that there are others, many others, who will not follow the beast and who will not be at Armageddon. The millennial Reign of Jesus is the chance for those who Babylon has mistreated and overlooked to be taken care of. Remember the Truth, many are called, not all are called. This is the reason that Jesus taught us this, because there will be people left who did not follow the beast and who were not killed during the 3 1/2 years, and who were not born again. These people will be ruled over for the first time in love, grace, truth, and peace. These things of our Father will be absolute; they will be iron clad!
