Will anyone survive the Tribulation?
Yes, Scripture indicates survivors will come through the Tribulation. After cataclysmic events and nuclear activity, the text says 'few men left,' meaning some endure. Jesus said, 'He that shall endure to the end, the same shall be saved,' so they will survive the seven years.
Les teaches that the Tribulation is to pay off the curse, and the earth will be delivered from it. In the passage, the inhabitants are burned because of tremendous nuclear activity, yet the last four words are 'and few men left.' Les explains that this means there are going to be survivors who somehow come through those awful seven years. He then points to Matthew 24:13, where Jesus, speaking from His earthly ministry, says, 'He that shall endure to the end, the same shall be saved.' Les emphasizes that they will survive. The next verse speaks of 'this gospel of the kingdom,' not the gospel of grace, because Christ had not yet died and risen.
