Children were also offered up to Baal as live sacrifices, seemingly acting as a form of birth control! Nothing new under the sun! TR Children were also offered up to Baal as live sacrifices Yes. Just a modern day version of it. Nothing has changed. Only fashion and technology. Depravity is every bit as deep. And like you said, nothing new under the sun! So in 6,000 years … think of all the babies/children that died young. Billions or trillions in heaven right now? I’m wondering if they will enter into the millennium kingdom along with the believers that survive the tribulation and will get a chance to grow up and repopulate the earth and have a chance to make decisions on their own to accept Christ as their Lord and Savior? In regards to unborn children being given a chance to live a full life on earth, that I don't know. IMHO, I would say not. Perhaps they'll be allowed to grow up in heaven or in some fashion? Anyway, the number that secular science seems to trot out seems to be over 100 billion. This BBC article estimates about 107 billion. https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-16870579 That, of course, is from an evolutionary point of view. It also may not count all the unborn children that died or were murdered in the womb. Anyway, here are some numbers about the New Jerusalem: The volume of the new Jerusalem, a cube measuring 1,500 miles, is 3.375 billion cubic miles, which consists of 216 billion cubic quarter miles. It is estimated that the total number of people that have ever been born is about 107 billion. If every human who ever lived experienced the saving grace of God, each of them would have an abode in the new Jerusalem equivalent to 2 cubic quarter miles. Would that be enough room for you? The magnificence of the new Jerusalem testifies to the bountiful provision Jesus made for the sinners for whom he died, which was that estimated 107 billion! Oh what grace! http://truthonfire.com/pen/2016/gates-of-pearl.asp Anyway, God has made room for all. When He desires that none shall perish, He really means it and has prepared accomodations for everyone that has ever lived. God is so wonderful! :yahoo: I’m wondering if they will enter into the millennium kingdom along with the believers that survive the tribulation and will get a chance to grow up and repopulate the earth and have a chance to make decisions on their own to accept Christ as their Lord and Savior? I have thought this too. Everyone else was required to make a choice so I don't see how they will be any different.
