Episode notes
This podcast explains the symbols used by John to describe the survivors of the seven-year battle of Armageddon in Revelation 9:20-21. The survivors are those who will refuse to repent during the battle, although they could do so. This means they are not sons of perdition, who have committed the unpardonable sin in this life and have lost the power to repent. John lists several characteristics of the survivors. They are guilty of murders, sorceries, fornication, and thefts. These characteristics align perfectly with latter-day revelation that identifies such persons as telestial worthy. Thus, we learn in this podcast that telestial people as a class will survive Armageddon and the third part of men that will not survive are mortal sons of perdition.
