Few Means Few Matt 7 Part 2


Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Matt 7:14


What if only 1100 American will get into Heaven???????

***************************************************
Note: the following is for illustration/comparison purposes only. I make no claim to know exactly how many will really see heaven out of America, in the end as only God knows this number.

I recently did a article on how FEW is FEW when Jesus mentioned it in Matt 7? Jesus tells us that FEW people will gain eternal life. Jesus reference would have been the Old Testament word/history no doubt.  This is important to grasp so we can know the seriousness, the rarity and the great value of gaining the gift of eternal life. 

Here is the link to that FEW article part 1 that gives you some reference points of FEW from the Old Testament. It will open your eyes so read it then come back here:

Few is Few part 2

A brother and I were recently discussing this FEW number and it got us to discuss something that in the end; really rocked us to our core. Have you ever read a spiritual truth that almost makes you cry, really take notice or even get ill? The following info could make you "quiver and cringe inside" if you fear God and love His Holy Word, Truth and Salvation that Christ alone offers. 

To expand on that FEW mindset for this part 2 article;
 if we use the exact numbers we know from the Exodus account out of Egypt event and the ratio / how FEW were allowed into the Holy land by God ( 2 out of 600,000 ) we can get a "possible" example of FEW. This can also be used as a illustration to see how many in America would see eternal just life as a comparison. NO, not a proven number as we cant say exactly as I already disclaimed at the start as only God knows that!

Note: Remember Jesus used the OT examples for the last days ( Noah and Sodom ) so it is valid to use the OT info we have to look ahead and wonder.  

Here are the hard cold facts and numbers based on the OT example's:

If only 2 men out of 600,000 stepped into the Promised land, as a example; I preached at a crusade that 10,000 people visited recently and that ratio means not even one of them makes heaven, just saying! ( In fact, I saw no true, holy, biblical, obedient saints their myself that day just worldly evangelicals... ) 

But back to America;
this 600,000 to 2 ratio means that in America where there are about 311,000,000 million people... using the Egypt numbers:

 roughly only ...."1100"..... people would gain eternal life as a comparison of the FEW in the OT Word who walked into the Promised land. 

Think about that for a moment! 

Does this give you a idea of how FEW  it may really be

Now if you say well that is foolish as many more times that will be saved then that OT Egypt ratio..... 

Ok, lets say it is 10 times that number. 

10 times would be only 11,000 people in America gain eternal life in total. 

Oh you say well, it is even higher!

Lets do 100 times higher, that is still ONLY 110,000 in all of America that gain eternal life!

You say it will be higher yet!

Well, 1000 times greater and you still only have 1,1000,000 people gaining eternal life.

Now you want to get "totally crazy" and say well, what if it is way higher ... like 10,000 times higher then the 2 who stepped into the promised land. 

Ok......

10,000 times that ratio out of Egypt only see's about 10,000,000 million Americans seeing heaven. Sound like a lot of people? 

Not really....

This means even at your crazy inflated "10,000 times the ratio" number that we saw out of the Egypt example, still....

ONLY 10 in every 311 Americans will see eternal life. 

Ponder this again... 
only 10 people out of 311 see heaven even at 10,000 times the Egypt ratio! 

WOW..... is what I thought myself!

As a word of caution; 

I would ask you what makes you ever think the ratio will be 10,000 times greater anyway? The truth is the bible says a GREAT EVIL DARK FALLING away is coming; NOT a revival? See 2 Tim 3 

FEW IS really FEW ..... does this help you grasp it now?

If these OT examples hold true, ( I do not know? ) you will have a far better chance of getting hit by lightening ( 1 in 700,000 ) or winning a lotto prize if you gamble ( 1 in 13 million ) then gaining eternal life based on OT examples of FEW. 

The Lord paints a terrible picture at His return:
Jesus said, will there be.... any.... faith on earth when he returns?
Luke 18:8

And it seems safe to say the so called Christian world is far more ungodly now then it was in Israels days coming out of Egypt. There is far more false teaching, denominational division and fleshy ways today. The truth is you may very well have to face that the few of the OT examples could be the low numbers of FEW for today! 

*Another thought about America.

It is the richest nation on earth by far! Even our poor live like kings over most of the worlds poor (shelter, food, clothes, medical care etc) and what did Jesus say about the rich entering heaven?

And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
Matt 19:24

This is more hard evidence that really does hint FEW will come out of America into eternal life. Run the numbers anyway you want as this is just a illustration but we know; FEW is FEW!  

Are you going to be one of them? 

Here are some verses that will help you grasp it all and to encourage you get going if you desire to be one of the FEW.


I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
Luke 13:3

Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
Phil 2:12

And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
1 Peter 4:18

Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
Luke 13:24

Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:
Heb 12;14

  The point is FEW really is going to be FEW. Are you on that narrow path or the broad road to destruction?

See the biblical gospel below that alone will allow you to pass into life vs death and God's judgement.
