The subject of works is one which seems to cause some confusion
among Christians. There are those who say that we are saved by

captivity, but the one third remnant will not be killed during
this takeover. Remember, two thirds of the Jewish people will be
killed, one third will not.
It's right at this point that Jesus will come forth to fight for
His people and put an end to all ...
