What will happen to the vast number of tribulation believers from every tribe and nation?
The vast number of tribulation believers from every tribe and nation will be martyred almost as soon as they believe. A few, however, will survive to the end, remain believers, and become candidates to enter the Kingdom when it is finally set up.
Les explains that this vast multitude comes from every tribe, tongue, and nation, and most will be martyred almost as soon as they believe. A few will survive to the end and are still believers. Those survivors will be the candidates to go into the Kingdom when it is finally set up. Les also points to Isaiah 23 for some survivors, and he connects the 144,000 with a compensation for what Israel utterly missed—Israel was intended to bring the pagan, Gentile world to a knowledge of Jehovah but missed it.
