    Will Only A Few People Be Saved? No. A Great Multitude Will Be Saved.

    Will Only A Few People Be Saved? No. A Great Multitude Will Be Saved.

    Part 1

    Do these Bible verses teach that Christians are now, and will be in the future,
    few in numbers? No.
    Luke 12:32's "little flock."
    Matthew 7:14's "only a few find it."
    Matthew 22:14's "many are invited, but few are chosen."

    Rev.7:9-10 forever and irrefutably settles this issue: The numbers of the saved
    are not a "little flock" and not "only a few."
    Are the following people Christians? Yes or No?
    John saw, "a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe,
    people and language standing before the throne . . . They were wearing white
    robes . . . and they cried out in a loud voice: Salvation belongs to our God . . .
    and to the Lamb."
    To say No they were not true Christians is an absurd interpretation of Rev. 7:9-10.
    To say Yes they were true Christians totally and absolutely eliminates Luke 12:32's
    "little flock" and Matthew 7:14's "only a few find it" from being historically predictive
    of the numerical size of the Christian Church ~~ unless you want to claim that
    "a great multitude that no one can count" really means "only a few."

    Jesus was asked specifically, "Lord are only a few people going to be saved?" Luke
    13:23. If only a few people are going to be saved this was a golden opportunity for
    Jesus to establish that truth, but Jesus did not reply yes only a few people will be
    saved, instead He replied with an exhortation for people to "make every effort" to
    enter through the narrow door. We now know, 21st century, why Jesus did not reply
    yes only a few people will be saved: There are over 2.3 billion Christians in the world
    today, and 2.3 billion is not "only a few" Christians. Jesus knew that His Christian
    Church was going to become "a great multitude that no one could count from every
    nation, tribe, people and language" and this is why He did not reply yes only a few
    will be saved. He knew an uncountable multitude would become Christians and be
    saved. And now you too know that ~~ because Rev. 7:9-10 says so.

    Abraham's Offspring.
    God took Abraham outside and said, "Look up at the sky and count the stars ~ if indeed
    you can count them. Then He said to him, so shall your offspring be." Genesis 15:5
    (see also Genesis 22:17-18 and Genesis 13:16)
    These offspring, in number like the stars, were either the children of God or the children
    of Satan. To have God telling Abraham that He would give him offspring in numbers
    like the stars, the majority of whom would be children of Satan, is an absurd interpretation
    of Genesis 15:5. So? So Abraham's children-of-God-offspring, in numbers like the stars,
    cannot be a "little flock" or "only a few" in numbers. And Paul says in Gal. 3:7 "understand
    then that those who have faith are children of Abraham" and in Romans 4:16 Paul says,
    "Abraham. He is the father of us all." So? So Abraham's offspring includes the Christian
    Church. And it's time to face the truth: The final numbers of the saved are going to be in
    numbers like the stars in the sky because that's what God said in Genesis 15:5

    In order to escape Huge-Church-In-Numbers-Like-The-Stars, John Tiny Church must interpret
    Genesis 15:5 to say this: God took Abraham outside and said look up at the sky and count the
    stars ~~ if indeed you can count them. Then God said so shall your offspring be ~ and by the
    way the majority of them will be children of Satan.
    John Tiny Church wants to escape the truth/fact that Abraham's offspring, in numbers like the
    stars, are mostly the children of God, because this means that Luke 12:32's "little flock" and
    Matthew 7:14's "only a few find it" can not be interpreted as historically predictive of the future
    numerical size of the Christian Church and John Tiny Church does not like that. John Tiny Church
    prefers an interpretation of the Bible that forever presents Christendom as a "little flock" and "only
    a few."

    There are over 14,500,000 Southern Baptists in the United States and 14,500,000 Christians
    cannot be a "little flock" or "only a few."

    John Tiny Church: The majority of them are not true Christians.

    Paul Factuality: Only God can know that and you're not God so you don't know.

    I'm going to repeat this several times because this truth/fact must be established and strongly
    emphasized ~ that John Tiny Church does not have the wisdom, power, and authority to issue
    his personal proclamation saying the majority of Christendom's 2.3 billion Christians are not true
    Christians. There are hundreds of millions of Christians in the world 21st century and Christendom
    is no longer a "little flock" or "only a few" and the one and only way John Tiny Church can escape
    the truth/fact of Huge-Church-In-Numbers-Like-The-Stars is to claim that the majority are not true
    Christians. So? So I'm going to repeatedly tell John Tiny Church the truth: Only God can know and
    he is not God so he does not know.

    There are over 1300 Protestant Christian mega-churches in the United States with a weekly
    attendance of over 2000. That many Christians cannot be a "little flock" or "only a few."

    John Tiny Church: The majority of them are not true Christians.

    Paul Factuality: Only God can know that and you're not God so you don't know.

    There are over 3000 Catholic Churches in the world with a weekly attendance of over 2000. This
    many Christians cannot be a "little flock" or "only a few."

    John Tiny Church: The majority of them are not true Christians.

    Paul Factuality: Only God can know that and you're not God so you don't know.

    Yoido Full Gospel Church in Seoul, South Korea has about 480,000 members. That many Christians
    cannot be a "little flock" or "only a few."

    John Tiny Church: The majority of them are not true Christians.

    Paul Factuality: Only God can know that and you're not God so you don't know.

    There is a huge underground Christian Church in China. "In 2018 the Chinese government declared
    there were 44 million Christians in China." However there are some international Christian organizations
    that say there are tens of millions more in China's underground Christian Church. This many Christians
    cannot be a "little flock" or "only a few."

    John Tiny Church: The majority of them are not true Christians.

    Paul Factuality: Only God can know that and you're not God do you don't know.

    When was the Christian Church a "little flock" and "only a few"? Answer: In the 1st century during the public
    ministry of the Lord Jesus. These verses . . .
    Luke 12:32's "little flock"
    Matthew 7:14's "only a few find it"
    Matthew 22:14's "many are invited but few are chosen" describe conditions that existed in the 1st century at
    the time they were written. We now know they cannot be interpreted as being historically predictive of the
    present and future numerical size of Christendom which is in numbers "a great multitude that no one can count,
    from every nation, tribe, people and language." Rev.7:9-10

    Conclusion.

    "I say to you that MANY will come from the east and west, and will take their
    places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of Heaven."
    __The Lord Jesus Matthew 8:11

    "For just as through the disobedience of the one man (Adam) the many were
    made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man (Jesus) the MANY
    will be made righteous." Romans 5:19

    "For those God foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the image of
    His Son, that He might be the first born among MANY brothers and sisters."
    Romans 8:29

    "In bringing MANY sons and daughters to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom
    and through whom everything exists, should make the pioneer of their salvation
    perfect through suffering." Hebrews 2:10

    "For even the Son Of Man did not some to be served, but to serve, and to give
    His life as a ransom for MANY."__The Lord Jesus Mark 10:45 (Jesus could
    have said "for a few" but He didn't. Jesus said "for MANY.")

    Question For John Tiny Church:
    Is it your position that "few" in Matthew 7:14 means few?
    But "many" in Mark 10:45 really means few?

    If "many" in Mark 10:45 really means many, then many, not a few, are going to
    be saved. Isn't that right, John Tiny Church?

    The Lord Jesus: "I will build my church.

    John Tiny Church: True, but it will ALWAYS be ONLY a "little flock" and few in numbers.

    The Apostle John: "I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no
    one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language . . . they were
    wearing white robes . . . and they cried in a loud voice, salvation belongs to our
    God . . and to the Lamb." Rev. 7:9-10

    Thank You Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit for The Cross and for saving an
    uncountable multitude of we fallen sinful human beings. We praise Your name
    and we love you.
