And, the converse of this is also true. Not everyone is being called. Again, read John 6, Romans 9, Eph. 1, I Peter. If you are laid hold of, you will be drawn into the kingdom. But, if you are not, you cannot come (John 6:44, Romans 9:16ff). He is the Ark, but God did not rescue all of the people

You'll be called a "Calvinist" for that kind of talk but if you are, I'm another one.

Freedom'sWorthIt - I've heard the "end times" preached all my life and I'm almost 65 years old and I'm sure it has been preached for the past 2,000 years or so. It will happen in God's own due time and we cannot predict it.

It will not happen until God calls the last person He wants to call. That's not to say that we aren't to pray for those who haven't accepted Him yet and urge them to do so but He, most assuredly, has the final yea or nay.

I don't waste any time worrying about my own long term future. My name has been in the book of life since before the world was formed.

AMEN!!!! Every word worth repeating. I'll see you at the Marriage Feast of the Lamb, if not before.
