The book of Revelation describes a remnant of believers who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus.

Christian: Someone who believes in Christ as the Divine Savior of the world and Only son of God.
End of Time people: This generation
Yes.
1.
Read the bible: The church should:
1. Claim to be restored (not reformed) by someone having authority from God after the apostasy.
2. Follow the ancIEnt ways of Christ (ie: there should be 12 chosen apostles, and numerous disciples)
3. They should have a prophet ( there were prophets before Christ and don't forget about Agabus, the prophet who prophesied a famine after Christ died and was resurrected, so if God is always the same his church should have a prophet now...)
4. They should have temples like they did in the bible
5. They should claim too be able to receive revelation from God.
6. They should actively be seeking to teach others about their religion in an effort to warn people about the second coming.
7. They should know where the New Jerusalem will be and they should be preparing for Christ's return
8. They should claim or claim in the future that The prophets of old like Malachi will or did return to give them they keys of the kingdom and of the gathering of Israel
9. They should be persecuted people whose history is full of sorrow (as prophesied in the bible)
10. They should never vary in teaching truth.
Find These you'll find God. And his church.

You confuse the church building (religion) with the "church" (people who believe) as it is spoken of in the Bible.
The denominations that make up the Christian religions were made by man, not by God. A Christian is a person who believes that Jesus Christ is the son of God and that he was sent to earth for the express purpose of teaching us God's will for our lives and to make it possible for our sins to be forgiven.
No man made church is equal to what God would want from us. If people are relying on the church organization instead of relying on a personal relationship with God and Christ, they will be lost.

God's end time people will not be a bunch of jerks. If your church has a lot of jerks in it then your church is not the end times church.

A Chirstian is a follower of Christ's teachings, the Bible states the 12000 people from the 12 major JEWISH churches will find their way to heaven.
I wonder why people would be Christians when their book claims only Jews will go to heaven....

"The End Times" began with Jesus' return to His Father in heaven.
The seven letters to the seven church in Asia, in Revelation 2 & 3 are descriptive of the church(es) in these end times.

God says He has a remnant , and I believe that whoever follows the leading of the Holy Spirit , is in that number.
It cannot be a weak person, it has to be a warrior for Christ , who is willing to go through the fire for the Lord and get on the battlefield for Him , when the situation arises.

God has the capability of being interior of himself. God has constantly existed, and could constantly exist. If God did no longer exist, no longer something could exist. If there had ever been a time while there replaced into absolute nothingness, there could nevertheless be absolute nothingness. something can not come from no longer something, and self-introduction is impossible using fact something can not do something in the previous it exists. something that comes into being is an result that has to have a reason. however the 1st result has to have a reason that had in no way been an result. God is the 1st reason that has constantly existed and constantly will exist.
