After the Rapture,
most of the world will go into rebellion
against God because they were not taken.
This will include most of the Catholics
who will not understand why
their Church was not taken.
And it will include most of the Protestants
who will not understand why
their profession of faith in Christ alone
did not get them into heaven.
But there will be others who will
realize the truth and seek to be ready
for the appearance of Christ to the world
at the end of the Tribulation.
This is what they will realize:
The way to heaven is by grace alone
thru faith alone in Christ alone,
but most of Protestants were only
professing to believe that but
(as is evident from the websites
of most Protestant denominations)
they actually believed salvation was
by faith plus their repentance.
(Repentance is right and proper,
but must never take trust away from Christ.)

Big assumption here is that they will actually know what
actually occurred! My bible tells me that the unbelieving
are already blind to spiritual truth and that especially during
that time a deluding spirit will be divinely imputed. I'm
not discounting the fact that once the Church is removed
that a restraint will not be removed (2 Thes 2) but rather
your basis for it is wrong.

Only half of the world's population will remain
at the end of Daniel's 70th week, maybe not
even that considering Armageddon losses.
Salvation will be much harder gained then
than now and it will come at much greater
costs -often your life. Also, if you have received
the mark of the beast, you're automatically
sealed in you state of unregenerativeness. So
as in this dispensation, the numbers will be
small even as the actually were in Israel.

Well seeing as how you didn't quote one
verse of scripture, you have not admitted to
its spiritual power. Either you believe that
God is in His Word or you don't. It isn't
rational pursuasiveness that wins one to
Christ, but by "preaching the Word."
