Did they all drown, in the first second the rain fell?How many wicked survived in Noah's day?
How many wicked survived in Sodom?
You know, in both of these examples, all the elect were immediately and totally rescued and all the wicked were immediately and totally destroyed. So will it be when He appears. All the elect were immediately and totally rescued and all the wicked were immediately and totally destroyed, so will it be when He appears.
It is both the suddenness and the scale of the destruction happening that is enlightening for the end-time Bible student.
Did it take 40 days to kill the last human?
I never stated any survived.
I stated that it took longer than a split second to "get the job done".
The scale of destruction in Revelation included 42 months of AoD after the 7th Trumpet starts to sound. It was not all over at the 6th Seal. That was the beginning, not the end.
The 144k are sealed after the Second Coming. The 7th Seal is opened after the Second Coming. The Trumpets and Thunders happen after the Second Coming. Jesus and the angels are here for the final harvest after they arrive, not prior to arrival.
Jesus was on the earth as Messiah. Jesus is on the earth as Prince. The first century was not remote controlled from heaven with an empty physical body. The Second Coming is not remote from heaven with an empty physical body. Jesus is on the earth with the angels, not hovering like superman, calling the shots.
"Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field. He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;"
The Second Coming is Jesus Coming to earth physically. He is sowing the gospel seed personally on earth. The final harvest is on earth after Jesus arrives and personally plants the field Himself. Satan is planting his own seed at the very same time in this time of great tribulation. All the angels are on earth, and they arrive at the 6th Seal.
You can twist and spin this all you want, but you cannot change the points given.
