What happens to non-Jewish believers during the tribulation?
During the tribulation, multitudes of non-Jews will have a salvation experience amid the turmoil. However, they will not live long to tell about it, because that period will be one in which they are almost martyred immediately. These are the tribulation martyrs.
Les teaches that during the tribulation, there will be multitudes of non-Jews who come to salvation. He connects them to the fifth seal, where John saw the souls of those slain for the word of God and for the testimony they held, which Les identifies as the tribulation martyrs. He notes that these non-Jewish believers will not live very long to tell about it, because it is a period of time when they will almost be martyred immediately. This occurs during the most awful seven-year period in all of human history.
