Glorification of the entire Church? But it says to wait until the rest of the brethren are killed. (Rev 6:11) So not the entire Church, by definition.
Fourth seal is the 4th and 5th riders. And there is also war and death, not just famine and wild animals. So that kind of needs to be squeezed in.
25% claiming to be Christian is a neat idea. But the Greek says that earth means landmass not peoples. (Rev 6:8)
I can see where your ideas are appealing to the suffering adverse. But we are promised to be killed and abused by the world. So no easy escape.
The Promise to be killed and abused started with Stephen and has been non stop since Pentecost. That is not an end time phenomenon.
How do you kill a landmass? Sink it into the ocean? And those living on that landmass are miraculously not killed?
"And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth."
So war, famine, death, and animals are going to annihilate two continents and they will no longer be land but covered over with water, so they no longer exist as land? Since we are not talking about life, but the land itself, no longer existing as continents.
How is that any different than all continents coming together as one continent. It is still destroying the individual make up of those two continents. They will no longer self identify as North and South America.
You attempt to refute "earth" is talking about population. However, war, famine, death, and wild animals, clearly implies these things are against the population and not fighting the landmass, itself into total annihilation.
How would causing such a geographical change of continents and all the mountain ranges be a comfort to those currently suffering affliction? The miracle will be preserving life when all this geological change happens.
Amil claim all is burned up into a crisp at the Second Coming, not just moving the furniture around.
Yes the church is one set. The rest of the redeemed are the firstfruits of the final harvest. Like Noah they come out on the otherside to populate the earth for 1,000 years. The church does not populate nor live on the earth during the Millennium. The church is in Paradise until the New Jerusalem comes down in the NHNE.
The final harvest is after the Second Coming. A harvest is done from those alive, not physically dead people in sheol. The final harvest is not the church. The last 1992 years has been the church harvest. Brethren refers to all of Adam's redeemed flesh. The OT redeemed were Brethren along with the NT church. They all are named in the Lamb's book of life.
Just like the OT redeemed did not live again on earth during the last 1992 years, the church glorified will not live on earth during the last 1,000 years. Jesus as King will personally reign over those who are born in the Millennium Kingdom.
By the time all is accomplished and the 7th Trumpet stops, there will be one continent and no mountain ranges to divide this final kingdom. There will be nations, but no nation will have an excuse not to come to Jerusalem on a yearly basis.
