There are some interesting facts about missing flight MH 370 that point to the coming Rapture. It disappeared on March 8, 2014 and never been found. The plane was Boeing 777. Does it point to the year 5777? There were 12 crew members and 227 passengers on the flight. Does the number 12 speaks about 12 apostles who were the foundation for the Church. There were total 239 people that disappeared. The estimated population of the Earth in March 2014 was 7.17b and the one third of 7.17 is 2.39. Does this mean that 1/3 of the earth population is going to be raptured? There were some plane debris found on the Reunion Islands. Does this speak about the reunion of the disappeared ones with the Lord?

The total raptured number could be fairly high if and assuming that all young children, too young to be accountable to the Lord, are raptured. If this is the case, I think we'll see more of them raptured than actual mature believers. Either way, I'm not sure we would get to 1/3. I doubt that even 5% of the adult population know the Lord. In China it is probably between 5-10% based on numbers of professing Christians. In the US I dont see it being any more than 10% of adults, or maybe just a tad over. Very few nations would have a higher percentage than those two countries. Then we cpnjecture at about what age children are typically responsible before the Lord--what is the average? Maybe 6 or 7 years? Younger, older? And what percentage of the world's population is in that age category to add on.

Welcome Paul!
Of course one thing to notice about the 239 MISSING PERSONS is it's 9/23 backwards: 23/9. I think some date formats shorten the date like that, too.

That is right, Gary! I believe that is the format in Britain and its satellite nations.

But here is where it says that 1/3 of the population dies. . . .
Rev 9:18 By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.

I do believe in the good God and in the mighty power of the Holly Spirit who is able to save much more than we can think or imagine. No wonder when John saw the multitude in Heaven he describe it as "a great multitude which no one could number". It's like the stars in the sky. Who can number them?

We also live in an apostate mess of a world that in intensely corrupting. Wouldn't be surprised if less then 5% of all people who claim to be Christian are born again. That is 100 million people, though, so even that might be high!

I tend to agree with you, Beloved. I can't say what it is with any accuracy, but as I said, 5% of the earth's adult population would be a high estimate for me.

Welcome Paul! Of course one thing to notice about the 239 MISSING PERSONS is it's 9/23 backwards: 23/9. I think some date formats shorten the date like that, too. Great insight Gary! There is another plane Boeing 777 flight MH17 that was hit by a rocket on July 17 2014. This one probably points to the war in heaven and satan falling from the sky. Two numbers 17 (date and flight number) speaks about the victory. There were total of 298 people on board. Is there something going to happen on 29th of August? |
