false prophet Bruce Warner claims 50% of "the church" will be raptured and 50% will be left behind because of the parable of the ten virgins (five wise, five foolish) while ignoring the letters to the seven churches (only one of the seven was given the promise of escaping the tribulation) and ignoring that Messiah Yeshua said the road is narrow and FEW find it
Matthew 7
13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
========
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Bruce Warner (16 Dec 2008) "WHAT PERCENTAGE OF 'THE CHURCH' WILL BE RAPTURED AS 'THE BRIDE'"
Dear Doves,
The 'Parable of the Ten Virgins' indicates that fifty-percent of the Church will be raptured as the 'Bride of Christ', and fifty-percent will be left behind to become tribulation-saints. The 'virgins' are evenly divided - five of the ten virgins are 'wise' and five are 'foolish'. There are four other combinations of two numbers that add up to ten that were NOT used.
Come Lord Jesus!
Bruce Warner
