I am concerned about family and friends that might be left after the rapture. I would suspect that there are going to be gentiles saved at that time.
Unfortunately, if Christ was preached to our lost relatives during this present dispensation of Grace—where all they have to do is by faith alone trust His shed blood for their sins to be saved for all eternity—but they did not believe, then chances are that they will die in their sins and go to hell, and God Himself will make sure that it happens.
God does not play around with unbelief and if His graciousness—His grace—today is rejected, then He gets very upset!
Galatians 6:7-8
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
Those who won't receive God's grace today, will then receive His wrath! Those who don't trust Christ today will have to go through the Tribulation then! And if they go into the Tribulation, then God will allow Satan to deceive them even more! And if they don't believe now, it will be even harder for them to believe then!
2 Thessalonians 2:10-12
And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
Today is the day of gentile salvation for your lost relatives, not in the future. Because, once God ends this dispensation of Grace, He will leave those gentiles who are in their unbelief and then go back and deal with Israel again. Therefore, God will not concern Himself with whether or not our lost relatives get saved, He will focus solely on Israel and their salvation!
Most likely almost all the gentiles who had a chance to trust Christ today but did not, will, in that future day of God's wrath, end up dying in their sins. Those who don't will have to go to Israel, or find a nation that blesses Israel in the future (only those nations that bless Israel will get into the kingdom). And even if a gentile is a part of that nation that blesses Israel, that gentile will be under the reinstated Law program and have to walk (obey) perfectly in it, and if not they will die and go to hell!
So TODAY is the day of Grace salvation! If only our lost relatives knew, they would NOT want to have to go into the Tribulation period in which most likely they will die in their sins!
Matthew 25:31-34, 41, 46
When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
2 Corinthians 6:2
(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)
Hopefully this
helps!
