According to the Holy Scriptures, only a "Little Flock" of Christians is going to heaven. Luke 12:32 "Have no fear, little flock, because your Father has approved of giving you the Kingdom." Only a limited number (144,000) from among mankind to be in heaven with the Lamb Jesus Christ.--Rev. 7:4; 14:1-4. They are to be priests and kings with Christ. Rev. 20:6 "They will be priests of God and of the Christ, and will rule as kings with him for the thousand years." Well, that is definately a small number that will go to heaven. And, who are they to rule over? What hope is there for the billions of people now living and for those who had died from Abel onward? Well, the hope of the living is to survive the great war of God at Armageddon.--Rev. 16:14, 16. There would be survivors according to Psalm 37:11. And for those who had died, they will have a hope for a resurrection.--John 5:26-29; Acts 24:15; Rev. 20:12, 13. Both, the armageddon survivors and the resurrected ones will be able to enjoy a paradise earth as it was intended to be from mankind's beginning.--Genesis 1:26-31; Revelation 21:3, 4.

why do you believe that only a few will enter heaven?
the road may be narrow but Christ said that there are many mansions in His Father's Kingdom. (not that we would have to have one since we will be an essence and not solid)
there are no set numbers of those that will enter the Kingdom of God, but there are certain actions that a person could do that won't permit them entry into the Kingdom.

You are correct is saying that the road to eternal life with Christ Jesus is narrow and "few" find it. Only God knows the exact number. I am so thankful though Christ made a way for me to be born again. Praise the Lord!!!!!

Many will go to heaven because you cannot just think that only your generation of people are the options. Think about the hundreds of generations of 6.8 billion people before and the other hundreds to come.....consider that
