Ballpark figures mind you , no wrong answers . A 50 / 50 split perhaps ? Or given that the slaughter is to be on a scale the Lord says the world has " never seen " maybe just a scoach more , 53 % or 57% ? Never really considered it , being a pre -tribulation adherent myself , but those who believe they would go into it must have considered the odds of how many , family members, friends would be of the group to witness the unprecedented slaughter and suffering of their fellow believers and brethren , and yet be so lucky as to live and win the Rapture lottery and leave it all behind . How Lucky they will be . " He leadeth me ." ( Psalm 22 :2 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So would these be the Christians slaughtered in the tribulation , or the lucky ones who watch the slaughter before boarding the Rapture express ?

How then does such a " very small country " account for something the Lord says will be something " the world has never seen " ? We have had 2 WORLD wars in the last 100 years alone with hundreds on millions slaughtered . A tough act to follow with just one " very small country " involved .

( Psalm 22 :2 ) To my knowledge the Bible doesn't indicate the percentage of Christians that will be slaughtered during the tribulation, but a remnant will enter the Kingdom age. but based on the wording it appears to be a majority. Evidently 2/3 of the Jewish population will be destroyed and 1/3 will be a remnant going into the millennium. If memory serves, about 3/4 of the gentile population will be destroyed by the various plagues, Antichrist, earthquakes, natural and supernatural disasters, etc. Enough of a remnant of the Jew and gentile to repopulate the earth during the millennium. That's from memory and not supported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw an article on-line a while ago that said they think one out of two people will die during the seven year tribulation. The Bible does not give a number so that of course is speculation.

I thought you were talking about how many saints would die.You were actually talking About people who call themselves Christian. The saints will be persecuted and killed while "Christians" talk about how many christiana are going to die in the tribulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your use of the term " remnant " would seem to indicate a majority of at least 75 % of the Christians entering the tribulation slaughtered , with a remnant remaining to be raptured .
