Will There Be a Second Chance for Salvation After the Age of Grace?

Direct Answer

No — Les Feldick teaches that after the age of grace, the tribulation offers salvation through the Gospel of the Kingdom preached by the 144,000, and those who reject it are removed.

Les explains that God seals 144,000 Jewish evangelists who take the Gospel of the Kingdom to every nation during the tribulation. Tribulation believers who survive become the seed stock of Gentile nations in the Kingdom, while survivors who reject the message are removed from the scene. This removal indicates there is no further opportunity after rejecting the tribulation's gospel.

Key Scriptures

Revelation 7:14 — This verse names the tribulation saints as those who came out of great tribulation and washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb, showing that salvation is available during the tribulation.

Matthew 25:31-33 — This passage describes the separation of the nations at Christ's coming, which Les connects to the removal of those who rejected the tribulation message.

What Does the Bible Say?

The Bible shows that during the tribulation, a vast multitude from every nation will be saved. Revelation 7:14 describes them as those who "came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb." In Matthew 25, Jesus describes the separation of the nations as a shepherd divides the sheep from the goats, which Les connects to the end of the tribulation. Scripture records no plan for unbelievers beyond this separation.

What Does Les Feldick Teach About Salvation After the Age of Grace?

Les teaches that at the start of the tribulation, God seals 144,000 young Jewish men who will supernaturally encircle the globe and preach the Gospel of the Kingdom — "the King is coming" — rather than the Gospel of grace. Their ministry reaches every tongue, tribe, and nation, and it results in the great multitude of Revelation 7 who have washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb. Les also grounds this in Israel's history: Israel was to be a kingdom of priests, but they rejected the King and Kingdom, so these 144,000 Jews are a way for Israel to get a taste of that original missionary role. Many tribulation believers will be martyred, but the survivors who believe will become the seed stock of Gentile nations going into the Millennial Kingdom. Those survivors who reject the message from the 144,000 will be removed from the scene, and no unbelievers will enter the Kingdom.

Why Will God Use 144,000 Jews in the Tribulation?

Les explains that God originally chose Israel to be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation to bring all nations to a knowledge of their God. But Israel rejected the King and the Kingdom, so God set the nation aside and turned to the Gentiles. Les believes the 144,000 sealed Jews will give Israel a taste of that old missionary role as they proclaim the coming King to the whole world.

What Is the Gospel of the Kingdom That the 144,000 Preach?

Les stresses that the 144,000 will not be preaching the Gospel of grace. Their message is the Gospel of the Kingdom — "the King is coming" — the same message Jesus proclaimed when he said "the kingdom of heaven is at hand." They take this message to every tribe, tongue, and nation around the world during the seven-year tribulation.

What Happens to Those Who Reject the Tribulation Message?

Les teaches that when the tribulation ends, only believers will enter the Kingdom. Survivors who heard the Gospel from the 144,000 and became believers will be ready for the Kingdom, while survivors who rejected the message will be "removed from the scene." He connects this to Jesus' separation of the sheep from the goats in Matthew 25, which involves Gentiles. There is no indication of any later opportunity beyond this point.

From the Teaching

Tribulation Survivors as Kingdom Seed Stock

Gospel of the Kingdom, Not Grace

Les explicitly says the 144,000 preach the Gospel of the Kingdom during the tribulation, not the Gospel of grace.

The Great Multitude From All Nations

The result of the 144,000's ministry is the great multitude from all nations standing before the throne and the Lamb, many of whom will be martyred.

The Message: The Kingdom of Heaven Is at Hand

Les connects the 144,000's tribulation message to Jesus' own announcement that the kingdom of heaven is at hand, showing it is a distinct message from the Gospel of grace.

Les quotes Revelation 7:14 to identify the tribulation saints as those who came out of the great tribulation and made their robes white in the blood of the Lamb.

Bible Verses

Revelation 7:14: And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

This verse identifies the great multitude from every nation as tribulation saints saved through the blood of the Lamb.

Matthew 4:17: From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Les uses this kingdom message to show the contrast between what Jesus and the 144,000 proclaimed and the Gospel of grace.

Matthew 25:32: And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats.

This verse describes the separation of the nations, which Les connects to the removal of tribulation rejecters.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will people who heard the gospel of grace get another chance during the tribulation?

Les does not directly address that scenario in these transcripts. He shows that the tribulation message is the Gospel of the Kingdom, not the Gospel of grace, and that survivors who reject it are removed from the scene. The evidence therefore points to no further opportunity.

What happens to tribulation believers who survive?

Les teaches that Gentile believers who survive the seven years will become the seed stock of Gentile nations going into the Millennial Kingdom. The remnant of Israel that fled into the mountains is also preserved.

What exactly is the Gospel of the Kingdom?

According to Les, it is the message that the King is coming and the kingdom is at hand. The 144,000 proclaim this during the tribulation, unlike the Gospel of grace that Paul preached.
