Question:
Dr. Lindstrom you stated 144,000 that will be saved after the rapture will all be Jews, and men at that, and is it so that when Jesus came to earth it was also to save the Jew and Israel, and everything you read in the Bible has to do with Israel and the Jew. So how is it that we should beleive that anyone other than a Jew will be saved and go to Heaven.
Answer:
Jesus came to the earth to die for EVERYONE! The verses are countless starting with John 3:16… “for God so loved the WORLD.” Jesus Christ died for everyone! Jews and Gentiles. Another good verse to look at is Acts 1:16 where like so many other verses, it is so plain, “…to everyone that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek (Gentiles).” There you have it. You may be astonished as the people in Acts 10:44-48 where it reads, “…because on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Spirit…” There is also the famous court case in Acts 15. Acts 15:3-5 talks about the incorrect need to circumcise the believing Gentiles (saved Gentiles). Verse 8,9 states the Holy Spirit was given to the Gentiles the same as the Jews and that there was no difference between. Read all of Acts chapter 15, it will be an eye opener.
