Yes, Les Feldick teaches that a 'few' people will survive the Tribulation, scattered around the planet.
Even though the earth will face catastrophic judgments, Les Feldick says there will be survivors, comparing it to people surviving Hiroshima and earthquakes. These survivors, from every nation, will be believers who enter the Millennial Kingdom as the seed stock for the nations.
Matthew 24:22 — Jesus says that except those days should be shortened, no flesh would be saved, implying that because they are shortened, some will survive.
Scripture indicates that the Tribulation will be a time of unprecedented destruction, but it also implies that some will survive. In Matthew 24:22, Jesus states, "And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened." This teaches that if the Tribulation were to continue longer, no one would survive, but because God will shorten the days for the elect's sake, survivors remain. Additionally, the Bible speaks of a remnant of Israel fleeing to the mountains (Matthew 24:16) and various passages reference survivors entering the Kingdom (Isaiah 24:6, Zechariah 14).
Les Feldick teaches that despite the catastrophic events of the Tribulation, there will be a few survivors scattered around the planet. He emphasizes that these survivors will come from every tongue, tribe, and nation, and they will be believers who have responded to the Gospel of the Kingdom preached by the 144,000. He uses the examples of Hiroshima and the Oakland earthquake to illustrate that people can survive seemingly impossible circumstances. Les also stresses that the exact number is not specified, but it will be a small percentage of the world's population—perhaps less than five percent—which still amounts to tens or hundreds of millions of people. These survivors will be the seed stock for the Gentile nations in the Millennial Kingdom, alongside the remnant of Israel that escaped to the mountains.
Les Feldick suggests that the word 'few' indicates a small percentage. He calculates that if the world population is around 5-6 billion, ten percent would be 600 million, five percent would be 300 million, and two and a half percent would be 150 million. However, he suggests that 'few' might be less than five percent, possibly even one percent, which would still leave a significant number. The exact number is uncertain, but the key point is that there will be many survivors.
Les teaches that the survivors will be believers who have heard the Gospel of the Kingdom preached by the 144,000 and have accepted it. They will be predominantly Gentiles, and they will become the parents of the nations during the Millennial Kingdom. Additionally, a remnant of Israel will survive by escaping to the mountains, as Jesus mentioned in Matthew 24.
Les emphasizes that survivors are necessary because there must be people to enter the Millennial Kingdom as its initial population. Without survivors, there would be no one to populate the Kingdom and fulfill God's promises to Israel and the nations.
What Happens to Gentiles After the Tribulation? Isaiah 24
under these judgments. The world languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do language, even their wealth is not going to protect them. Verse 5, "...the earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof, because they have transgressed the laws," that is, the laws of God, the basic morality that He laid down back there in the Ten Commandments, if that's the way it makes you mor…
Survivors like Hiroshima
Les uses historical disasters to illustrate that a few people will survive the Tribulation, scattered worldwide.
Calculating survivor numbers
Les computes possible survivor numbers based on population percentages, showing that even a small percentage is a large number.
What Happens When God's Wrath Replaces Grace — Revelation 9 & 11
They were prepared for a specific role, and we didn't finish it in the last program, but their role is to slay the third heart of man, or of the human race. In other words, you know, I was thinking the other day, how many million people lost their lives as a result of World War II, under all causes? Fifty million.
Survivors as kingdom seed
Les explains that survivors from Matthew 25 become the parents of the Millennial Kingdom population.
Survivors as seed stock
Les teaches that survivors, including Gentile believers, are the seed stock for nations in the Kingdom, with Israel's remnant also surviving.
Who Are the Two Witnesses in Revelation 11?
Now you see, that's a vast number of people from every tribe and tongue and nation. And they're going to be martyred almost as soon as they believe. But a few will survive. And we'll pick them up in a later program. There will be some survivors, as we saw in Isaiah 23, a couple of programs ago. They're going to somehow find themselves at the end of all this alive. But they're believers.
Survivors necessary for kingdom
Les states that survivors are required for the Kingdom, and God shortens the Tribulation so that some will live.
Matthew 24:22: And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
Jesus explicitly states that if the Tribulation were not shortened, no one would survive, implying that survivors will exist.
Isaiah 24:6: Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.
This verse directly mentions 'few men left' after the earth is burned, supporting the idea of survivors.
Matthew 24:16: Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
Jesus instructs a remnant to flee, indicating that some will escape the Tribulation's judgments.
Yes, Les Feldick teaches that a 'few' will survive, scattered around the planet. They will be believers who enter the Millennial Kingdom.
The exact number is not specified. Les suggests it could be less than five percent of the world's population, which would still be millions or hundreds of millions.
Survivors are necessary to populate the Millennial Kingdom. God will shorten the Tribulation days to ensure some remain alive.
