??? Doesn't conversion imply someone who knows not the true Gospel? Lot's of folks know the Gospel story, but not the Gospel reality involving them.
I'm confused about your theology: You expect a revival in the "Tribulation"? Folks will convert due to fear, oppression and lack of food and water??
Rusty........do you really think that I have a theology???
Do you actually think that I sit around thinking up things to post in this forum to argue with others over?
Now to address your question of..........
You expect a revival in the "Tribulation"?
I expect nothing my brother. I simply read and state what the Scriptures say. You my admissiom are not a believer in the Literal Word of God and I by admission do. I am not smart enough to try and spiritualize what God said, I just believe waht He did say.
Now.......Do I expect a revival in the Tribulation?
Rusty, will you please explain Rev. 12:4
"Then I heard the number of those who were sealed: 144,000 from all the tribes of Israel."
That seems to me to be a lot of people who become saved.
Now, then explain Rev. 12:11
"and they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony and they loved not their lives unto death".
Dosen't that tell you that even in the times of extreme pressure, sinners can be saved.
Then of course speaking of a revival there is this verse that needs to be explained.......
Rev. 7:9
"After this I beheld and lo, a GREAT MULTITUDE which no man could number of all nations and kindreds and people and tongues stood before the throne and before the Lamb clothed with whie robes and palm in their hands."
Clearly, the written literal Word of God says that there will be a revival in the face of persecution and a great number of people will be saved. That is what is says! These involved in the GREAT MULTITUDE have come to Christ, refused the mark of the beast through the witness of the 144,000 Jewish, virgin men.
That Rusty is what the Scriptures say! That is NOT my theology but the Word of God.
