--It indeed would be hard, to know who deserve that protection NOW & in the future--from the action at armaggedon!
--For any one of us could easliy fall whether we are serving Jehovah and his Kingdom for a short time or like my wife & I over 40 years each!
--Jesus said, this would be applicable to those in & out of the truth.
(Matthew 24:12-13) “12 and because of the increasing of lawlessness the love of the greater number will cool off. 13 But he that has endured to the end is the one that will be saved.”
--To what degree Jehovah views that cooling off as a matter of serious judgement now & to come -we do not know!
--As you know Rev. 7 refers to a "great crowd" surviving the storm of the tribulation---HOW GREAT that is as the text says "nobody was able to number!"
--IS IT NOT good that we don't need to concern ourselves with that information?--But to do what Jesus authorized for us?

The truth is we are all completely unworthy of God's Kingdom. The Bible is specific. God's standard for a rightiousness that would be worthy of God's Kingdom...Perfection. That is, sinless in every way. God loved us enough to make a way for us to get to Heaven anyway. It would require atonement for our sins...a sacrafice of a sinless and fully righteous man...Jesus.
As a Christian, I plan not to experience Armagedon because I believe the rapture will preceed it. If I am wrong...well let's hope I'm right. I think you have a wrong perspective on the flood. Death is not the worst thing as we are all spiritually immortal. There are things far worse than death.

These days I think a lot of people need to find God and ask for forgiveness and it may be that time for the second coming of Christ.
However I think the majority of people are good in their hearts and should be excepted into our Lords kingdom.

most people dont deserve God's kingdom. we all sin, and just when you want to repent, another sin comes along. even if you do repent, there will always be strong temptations. yet i dont think that a lot of people deserve to perish like folks did in Noah's days, especially if they believe and try really hard to be good. the effort should be seen and their hearts should be pure.

I don't think any of us "deserve" God's Kingdom! He is giving it to us as a gift through the blood of Jesus. If it weren't for Jesus dying on the cross for our sins, Heaven would be a very empty place. Thank God for the forgiveness he provides!

No it doesn't matter what you feel you deserve. The honest fact is God doesn't have a Kingdom. I am sorry that you have been disillusioned but you are barking at the wrong tree. God is not in it. There is only the Grave after the short live which is the only opportunity to enjoy yourself so make use of it.

No one deserves God's Kingdom! That's what's so great about His forgiveness! The only reason we get to go to heaven,is because Jesus died for us all and all our sins. This gives us the opportunity to ask for forgiveness and God will forget our sin(s). Then and only then are we clean or 'worthy'.
Only through forgiveness.

The truth is no one deserves Heaven. It's a gift through grace.

does anyone?
(PS-the story of Noah's Ark is an impossibility in terms of reality. Have you ever stopped to think about how rain is formed???? Water is drawn from oceans, lakes, and rivers, and then "rains" back to the Earth in other places. Clouds do not MAKE rainwater. In other words, there is no way that the entire world could flood if it rained for 40 days...not even if it rained for 1,000 days. The world's ocean levels would not rise even one inch because the same water that was raining down was being drawn up FROM the Earth)
