I do believe that God will destroy the wicked off the earth, but not the earth itself Ecc 1:4 "A generation is going, and a generation is coming, but the earth is standing even to time indefinite." Of course, no one knows the day or the hour, not even Jesus Matt 24:36, but Jesus did give us the signs of the "Last Days" at Matt 24: 4-14. And he did say at Matt 7: 13-14 "broad and spacious is the road to destruction and many are the ones going in through it, whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are the ones finding."
Just like in Noah's day, Noah preached for 40 years and no one listen other than his wife, his three sons and their wives.
The bible does not directly answer the question as to young children at Armageddon, and we are not the judges. However, the bible does show that God views the young children of true Christians as holy 1 Cor. 7:14. It also shows that in times past young children were destroyed with their parents Num. 16:27, 32, Ezek 9:6. God does not want anyone to be destroyed, so he is having a warning sounded now to benefit both parents and children. Wouldn't a wise, loving parent want to pursue a course that would result in God's favor now and at Armegeddon?
Sorry if this sounds like a sermon, but it is an important subject and God has told us what we need to do. It means our life and the life of our children.

1 Corinthians 7:14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.
All God's promises and threatenings are conditional. The human response to what God says is what determines the final outcome. The key word is "IF". That's why there is the next verse
1 Corinthians 7:15 But IF the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such [cases]: but God hath called us to peace.
All children will not be saved because all children do not want to be saved. Even a child can reach the age of accountability and make choices that permanently fix the kind of person that they are; permanently fix his character for salvation or destruction.
Proverbs 20:11 Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work [be] pure, and whether [it be] right.
There are no verses in the Bible which indicate that God takes freedom of choice away from children or adults in matters of salvation.
Although God loves everyone and will forgive anyone, He will not save a single one against their will or without their cooperation.

hmmm... interesting question. First off, there will be people in heaven. Whether it is many, or few, u could still go. The I Cor. 7:14 passage is taken out of context. Paul is talking about children being under a protective covering because of the saved parent. They are not saved because of that saved parent, but they recieve some of the blessings because of that parent.

Will all the children without parents be saved?
14For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy.
For some reason you did not read the whole verse - "but as it is, they are holy."
Something on Children:
If babies were born sinners, Jesus would not have chosen them as examples for us to follow. "Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven." (Matt. 18:3) Surely Jesus is not exhorting His disciples to become like sin-blackened children doomed to everlasting punishment. We are the "offspring of God" (Acts 17:29) and our spirits have been given by God. (Ecc. 12:7) Were the doctrine of original sin true these passages would imply that we inherit original sin from God Himself which cannot be since God is perfect.

Pretty darn nasty this God person....eh...!! Believe in Me or be destroyed...wow what a guy.....sounds like this guy has issues of self...do you think..??
What about that whole issue of Fear....who ever heard of a God of Love using Fear as the catalyst for Love...do you say to your wife believe me or I'll kill the kids..?? That'll sure get you snuggling won't it...
How many women and kids survived ? None.....Sounds a bit like Saddam Hussein and the Kurds...none survived there either....we're hanging old S.H what should we do with this God fellow...give Him a big wet one and sing Halleluah....Not while I have a say in it I won't......
By the way where did you get all the 'history'...out of a book I bet....was it written by high ranking members of some club...??
I'd say so...was it edited by those same guys so there was only one theme?? I'd say so....Are you threatened with death if you don't believe...?? I'd say so...you've just said so, look above at your statements.....
So you believe because some guys wrote a book about a really nasty guy who kills people by your own admission, threaten you with death if you don't believe and then expect other folks to blindly believe because your so happy doing it.....??
Sorry pal, you can have it all on your own...me I'll think before I act....

All it relatively is being performed & they think of they have Gods blessing? At Revelation the seventeenth & 18th chapters the actual God Jehovah(Psalms 80 3:18 KJV) call fake faith a Harlot(she is going to mattress with governments & the commercialism's of the international). a million John 5:19 says the entire international is mendacity interior the possibility of depraved one(devil) James 4:4 says if your a chum of the international, you're an enemy of Gods.

God has killed people because they were supposedly bad. And then religions say that God gave man a free will. Religion is most popular with people who don't think.

The best way to threaten someone into doing what you want isn't to threaten their own life, but to threaten the life of someone they love (ie: their children).

God will destroy the Earth again. But not because he hates us. He will do it because of the way most people behave. Most people hate him.
