The bulk of the church at large in my native country, seems to be totally unconcerned about the 12 tribes of 12000 that God will raise up to give testimony and be martyrs during the tribulation period or reign of the antichrist. After all they're just a bunch of Jewish virgins, and surely God will teach them what they need to know and how to survive during this horrific period of time. This seems kind of loveless to me. I know that God is able to do just that, but in the past the Lord has commanded His own to care for the needs of their brethren. I assume that you know what I mean by "the great commission" , but in a society concerned primarily with self, family, and comfort, I'll post the appropriate verses for those unfamiliar with the expression.
And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on Earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen. Matthew 28:18-20
This will be kind of difficult if we aren't here. I'm unclear what Jesus meant by end of the age, but I don't think He was speaking of a church age, as the gentile church didn't exist yet (though I wouldn't carve that in stone.)
Does it bother you at all that our gracious and loving God would abandon His "tribulation saints" to fend for themselves? That isn't the Jesus that I know.
