Gentile Tribulation Believers
If God completely destroys the nations to which Israel was scattered, and that being the gentiles, where are the trib believers other than the Jews who survive, since the nations come to give their gifts to God during the millennium?
Q. I have a question concerning Jeremiah 30:11 and Trib Believers. If God completely destroys the nations to which Israel was scattered, and that being the gentiles, where are the trib believers other than the Jews who survive, since the nations come to give their gifts to God during the millennium? If God does destroy them during the tribulation, does that mean (with the tribulation’s purpose) that their sins are not completely forgiven? or are they just bystanders and accidentals who stand in the middle of God’s wrath because they didn’t believe in time, but still go to heaven afterwards?
A. Once a person has confessed his belief in the Lord as his Savior, he achieves peace with God. (Col. 1:19-20) Believers who are killed during the Great Tribulation will be killed for their faith by the forces of the anti-Christ, not by God. At the second coming Gentile believers who survive will be welcomed into the Kingdom in their natural states and will re-populate the nations. They’re the ones who bring their gifts to God during the Millennium.
